				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>“What is Marketing Automation?” is a question I hear from most business owners when they find out what I do. You might have heard about marketing automation, but have you do you understand what it really means?  </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a brief overview so you can understand and learn how it can benefit your business. Who knows, after reading this you may even want to try out automating marketing initiatives in your own business. </p>
<p><strong>Let’s get to it…</strong></p>
<h2>What is Marketing Automation?</h2>
<p>If you engage in marketing of any kind, whether this is analysing consumer behaviour or sending out a newsletter, you&#8217;ll know how time-consuming the process can be. That&#8217;s where automation comes in. </p>
<p>Put simply, automation takes your repetitive, mundane marketing tasks and handles them for you. This could be a task as simple as an automated email response to consumer inquiries, or something more complex, like nurturing leads and converting leads by showing them products they&#8217;ll enjoy based on their past browsing behaviour.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>How it Works</h2>
<p>Marketing automation is simple. All you&#8217;re doing is using a set of tools, or a single software solution, to streamline and simplify your marketing tasks. It allows you to:</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-6753 alignright" src="https://journeypoint.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/analysis-businesswoman-chart-955447-300x188.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="188" srcset="https://journeypoint.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/analysis-businesswoman-chart-955447-300x188.jpg 300w, https://journeypoint.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/analysis-businesswoman-chart-955447-768x481.jpg 768w, https://journeypoint.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/analysis-businesswoman-chart-955447-1024x642.jpg 1024w, https://journeypoint.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/analysis-businesswoman-chart-955447-400x250.jpg 400w, https://journeypoint.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/analysis-businesswoman-chart-955447-1080x677.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Identify your audience</li>
<li>Design content that appeals to this audience </li>
<li>Trigger actions such as marketing campaign emails </li>
<li>Analyse the outcomes of your marketing efforts and tweak them if they aren&#8217;t bringing in the desired results</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>For example, you can use automation to send basket abandonment emails to customers encouraging them to finish their purchase on an eCommerce store. You can also let customers know if items they&#8217;ve added to their wish list go on sale.</p>
<p>That said, if you are still asking what is marketing automation for a service based business?, the good news is that most of the businesses we deal with are serviced based businesses.</p>
<p>Most serviced based business, business owners are time poor and that that’s where you can set up technology to do <u><a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/how-marketing-automation-helps-your-business-run-more-efficiently/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">all you repetitive follow up and regular contact with prospects, customers and past customers.</a></u></p>
<p>Marketing Automation can help all service businesses and lends it self beautifully to assist <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/marketing-automation-for-coaches-their-types-uses/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><u>coaches and consultants</u></a> and <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/how-marketing-automation-could-boost-your-law-firms-efficiency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><u>law firms</u></a> to focus on what they do best while the marketing automation delivers a consistent flow of new leads.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Why Is Automating Marketing Great for Businesses? </h2>
<p>While there are multiple benefits to automating your marketing initiatives, there are a few which stand out the most: </p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-6751 alignright" src="https://journeypoint.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/turn-on-2932999_1280-300x188.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="188" srcset="https://journeypoint.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/turn-on-2932999_1280-300x188.jpg 300w, https://journeypoint.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/turn-on-2932999_1280-768x481.jpg 768w, https://journeypoint.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/turn-on-2932999_1280-1024x641.jpg 1024w, https://journeypoint.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/turn-on-2932999_1280-400x250.jpg 400w, https://journeypoint.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/turn-on-2932999_1280-1080x676.jpg 1080w, https://journeypoint.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/turn-on-2932999_1280.jpg 1280w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<ul>
<li>You&#8217;re giving every lead, or potential customer, a personalised experience on your website. Personalised marketing <a href="https://econsultancy.com/reports/conversion-rate-optimization-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">encourages</a> your customers to spend more money, or even to try out your products for the first time.</li>
<li>Marketing automation frees up you and your staff from mundane tasks so they can focus on high impact work that benefits your ROI.</li>
<li>You can employ less staff, reducing your overheads because the software handles many tasks for you. </li>
<li>It lets you take full advantage of consumer loyalty strategies and will help you to get more referral business.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<h2>So, what is Marketing Automation and what is it not?</h2>
<p>Marketing automation is a way to streamline both your inbound and outbound marketing. It is a way to save you time and increase your ROI on your marketing budget. Marketing Automation will help you, a business owner sleep better at night.</p>
<p>Even with all these amazing benefits, marketing automation is not a “silver bullet”. There is still no replacing high quality products and services delivered with high quality customer care and service, and no amount of marketing automation is going to help you unless you already have these things in place.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>How Can You Get Started?</h2>
<p>It’s as easy as 1,2, 3!</p>
<ol>
<li>The first thing to do is map out your entire customer journey and in doing so identify important and repetitive stages in that journey.</li>
<li>Once done decide which parts of that journey you would like to automate or that could be automated.</li>
<li><a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/book-complimentary-call/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><u>Speak to an expert</u></a> about your customer journey to work out what <a href="https://keap.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><u>software</u></a>  is going to provide you with the best solution based on your customer journey.</li>
</ol>
<p>What is Marketing Automation? It is a low cost solution to increasing your ROI on your marketing budget.</p>
<p>As they say, “once you automate, you’ll never go back!”</p></div>

In fact, its more costly to attract new customers than retaining one. Studies show that,  Acquiring one new customer costs around 6-7X’s more than retaining an existing one. As such, we will be sharing with you below, discover ways on how you can boost sales without working harder!</p>
<p>Many small to medium size business owners are under the impression that once a sale is made, that it is the last time that they will hear from their customer.</p>
<p>This couldn’t be further from the truth.</p>
<p>At the point of sale, your job is only 50% complete.</p>
<p>By going the full-distance in the client lifecycle, you generate more money through repeat sales and referrals for your business.</p>
<p>You see, if you follow up after the sale, you are engaging with a customer who knows about your business and offerings.</p>
<p>They have already purchased from you, so they already like and trust you…</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner">How to get more clients for your legal practice can be a minefield. There are as many ideas as there are legal practices and then some.</p>
<p>Even so, if I told you your legal practice could bill more with less effort, would that be something worth investigating?</p>
<p>There is a nifty tool that removes the chance of inconsistency due to human error, allows you to personalise all communications and generates data so you can refine and improve your efforts over time.</p>
<p>This makes this solution exceptionally well suited to small to medium size practices that are short on time, cash and manpower.</p>
<p>If you aren’t acquainted with marketing automation and how it works, we’ve broken down the process into simple steps that will show you how to get more clients for your legal practice.</p>
<h2><strong>How To Get More Clients For Your Legal Practice</strong></h2>
<h5><strong>Step #1 – Create a client “buying” behaviour timeline</strong></h5>
<p>Before you <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/marketing-automation-works/">start automating</a>, you need to identify the basic steps that your clients move through before engaging your services. Awareness is the starting point, where clients seek information surrounding their problem without awareness of your brand.</p>
<p>This is followed by a search for the best solution to the problem and finally, considering shortlisted options before making a final “purchase/engagement” decision. Each stage will have a potential customer undertake certain actions online, and with the right software, you can trigger certain reactions when these actions occur, that will help move them towards your service.</p>
<h5><strong>Step #2 – Educate your clients</strong></h5>
<p>You want clients to land on your website, landing page or provide you with their email address. This will kickstart the automation process. Remember at this early stage they’re still putting out their feelers, so they might be browsing the Internet or social media looking for broad information.</p>
<p>Creating a blog article, free downloadable checklist/eBook or social media how-to video or webinar is a great way to do this. Make sure that whatever you’re offering will add value and naturally mentions your product or service without an intensive sales pitch as a solution.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h5><strong>JStep #3 – Pick a provider and start communicating</strong></h5>
<p>Now that you have a list of email addresses that have been willingly provided, you can input them into a good marketing automation platform. This sounds more complex than it actually is, and there are many free and affordable service providers that can help you do this.</p>
<p>Great options for small to medium businesses include <a href="https://www.activecampaign.com/automation/">ActiveCampaign</a>, <a href="https://www.hubspot.com/products/marketing">Hubspot</a>, <a href="https://www.infusionsoft.com/features">Infusionsoft</a>, <a href="https://www.marketo.com/software/marketing-automation/">Marketo</a> or <a href="https://ontraport.com/features/marketing-automation">Ontraport</a>. It’s important to explore what each has to offer. Be sure to compare the minimum cost for the product, per user and per database contact amount. You’ll also need to ensure they offer you data collection and analytics services (this is paramount if you really want to understand how to get more clients for your legal practice).</p>
<p>Now you’re ready to kick off personalised communications. This could be as simple as a <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/email-marketing/">follow-up email</a> recommending services based on the content someone’s engaged with on your website or information they have requested from you.</p>
<h5><strong>Step #4 – Score your leads</strong></h5>
<p>Once you start getting leads and you are following up, you’ll find that some end in sales while others go nowhere. You don’t want to spend money on weak leads and disinterested customers, so you’ll need to implement a lead scoring system based on analytics results. This will also ensure that everyone in your team focuses on the same metrics and contributes towards this process of how to get more clients for your legal practice.</p>
<h5><strong>Step #5 &#8211; Always follow up</strong></h5>
<p>With <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/marketing-automation-services/infusionsoft-consultant-gold-coast/">automation software</a>, there’s no excuse for not <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/the-ultimate-lead-generation-process-for-2019/">following up with clients</a>. You can also use automated emails to target unresponsive leads, freeing up your time to convert those leads into clients. Following up (with a clear call to action and way to opt out) is incredibly effective at getting distracted prospects engaged again.</p>
<p>With just a little time to setup, you could get a system up and running, that costs very little and delivers sales to your doorstep.</p>
<p>In just five easy steps, you could grow your legal practice and its profits significantly.</p>
<p>Now you understand how to get more clients for your legal practice, it’s time to get stuck into it!</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Why marketing automation is important varies from business to business. Even so, there are certain functions and reporting that are relevant to all businesses that are available through marketing automation that are not with traditional marketing. Once you understand the benefits that marketing automation offers, you will have all the answers you require when wanting to understand why marketing automation is important.</p>
<h2>Marketing Automation CRM</h2>
<p>Marketing automation offers a platform (<a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/marketing-automation-services/infusionsoft-consultant-gold-coast/">Customer Relationship Manager &#8211; CRM</a>) on which you can store enormous amounts of data about your target audience(s). With this information, you are able to micro-target segments in your database sending them the right information at the right time. <strong>Why marketing automation is important #1</strong> &#8211; So that you can successfully move your leads smoothly along their buying journey, answering the right questions at the right time and by covering off objections before they are raised. This is done by micro-targeting your audience and message. Without a marketing automation CRM platform, this is not possible. Adding on to this, as your prospects interact with your marketing, using marketing automation, you can see what is working, what is not working and which leads are showing “buying behaviour”. In the marketing automation CRM and software, we use <a href="https://www.infusionsoft.com/product-blog">Infusionsoft</a>, this is called “lead scoring”. When a lead is scored as “warm” or “hot”, this information is automatically relayed to a salesperson, who is given a task to contact a highly qualified lead. <strong>Why marketing automation is important #2</strong> &#8211; you can see what is working, what is not working and which leads are showing buying behaviour. This saves a lot of time, as your sales team is only dealing with highly qualified leads, not cold ones.</p>
<h4><strong>Marketing automation doesn’t replace traditional marketing principles, it magnifies them!</strong></h4>
<p>While marketing automation provides these tremendous benefits, it is important to remember that having a <a href="https://keap.com/product/features/marketing-automation">marketing automation CRM platform</a> such as Infusionsoft (to provide this information and marketing automation experience), it doesn’t replace solid marketing fundamentals.                     </p></div>

<p>We know why marketing automation is essential, however, these benefits will not be realised unless you have <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/marketing-automation-works/">properly scoped out what you are selling</a>, who are you selling it to and how you are different to your competition.</p>
<p>Now when you are looking at what you are selling, you must look at what the “benefits” of what you are selling are.</p>
<p>Let’s say you sell gym memberships, you’re not really selling gym memberships, are you? What you are really selling is health and wellbeing; perhaps weight loss, and maybe self-esteem.</p>
<p>Now what you are selling must also marry up with who you are selling it to. For example, if you are selling gym memberships to young men who want six-pack abs, selling them weight loss is probably not going to hit the mark is it?</p>
<p>This is why marketing automation is important and will only work when you have what you are selling matched up perfectly with who you are selling it to.</p>
<p>On top of this, your marketing must include messages that differentiate you from your competition.</p>
<p>Let’s look at the gym example. Every gym has exercise equipment so bragging about how good your new equipment is, is not an ideal differentiator.</p>
<p>However, if you are a gym that specialises in helping middle-aged people lose weight, your message is clear.</p>
<p>This means those who are fearful of going to a gym because they are overweight will be more attracted to your messaging than a “six-pack gym”.</p>
<p>You know why marketing automation should be used in your business.. You know that it will help you to micro-target your audience with the right messaging at the right time. It will help you to know what is working and not working. It will also help you <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/the-ultimate-lead-generation-process-for-2019/">identify those most likely to buy when they are ready to buy</a>.</p>
<p>Marketing automation has the potential to increase your bottom line and make your internal processes more efficient, however…</p>
<p>Even though you understand why marketing automation is essential, never forget that it can only be as good as the solid marketing principles it is built on.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>How marketing automation works, is one of the most popular questions that I’m asked. This question arises because I’ve seen many cases in which small business owners blame the technology for their marketing automation not working.</p>
<p>However, when we dig a little deeper we find that nine times out of ten, it’s the strategy that was either non-existent or flawed to begin with.</p>
<p>This means that before you undertake any automated marketing, you must first understand how marketing automation works.</p>
<p>Having powerful marketing automation software at hand without the correct underlying strategy is similar to putting a high-powered car in the hands of an inexperienced driver, i.e. you’re asking for trouble.</p>
<p>Don’t just automate what you already have. This will result in magnifying what you already have. If it’s already great, good, you’re lucky; but if it is flawed… well, I don’t need to tell you what will happen.</p>
<p>Once you understand how marketing automation works, investing in a new CRM and Automated Marketing Platform such as <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/marketing-automation-services/infusionsoft-consultant-gold-coast/">Infusionsoft</a>, is an opportunity for you to re-evaluate.</p>
<p>This is a chance to determine what is working and not working in your business. It’s an opportunity to streamline and moving forward only use what is working and likely to work in the future.</p>
<p>How marketing automation works can be broken down into three categories:</p>
<ol>
<li>People</li>
<li>Processes</li>
<li>Systems</li>
</ol>
<h3> </h3>
<h3><strong>People</strong></h3>
<p>Your organization must be culturally aligned. This means that those involved with Sales and Marketing must view marketing and sales as one integrated process. Any breakdown here will be reflected and magnified by your marketing automation.</p>
<p>We have encountered many businesses that have “sales” people and “marketing” people and they are run as individual silos. A business owner who allows this to continue after implementing marketing automation does not understand how marketing automation works.</p>
<p>So the first step in learning how marketing automation works is to ensure that your entire sales and your entire marketing team are familiar with the Ideal Customer Lifecycle.</p>
<p>This lifecycle begins with the first contact with your marketing effort and “ends” with asking for referrals from happy satisfied customers.</p>
<p>With this overall understanding, your team will be able to easily identify what stage a “lead” or a “customer” is at. They will also understand exactly what the next step ought to be, to have them continue through your marketing and sales funnel.</p>
<p>The next important aspect for your people is having someone who can absorb large amounts of data and complex concepts. This is imperative to be able to make decisions to solve problems or refine your marketing automation efforts.</p>
<p>You see, marketing is increasingly becoming a technical profession that includes high-proficiency with technological solutions.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Today’s marketing automation platforms such as <a href="https://keap.com/product/features/marketing-automation">Infusionsoft</a> are much easier to use than earlier systems, however marketers today must be comfortable using technology.</p>
<p>So if you don’t have the right skills on-staff already, you’ll need to train your current staff using external consultants, and/or look at hiring the right staff.</p>
<h3><strong>Processes</strong></h3>
<p>Prior to marketing automation, almost all marketing was simply about Lead Generation. This is not how marketing automation works.</p>
<p>Marketing automation is a highly organized, integrated, repeatable process.</p>
<p>It’s about understanding your customers’ buying process and moving from focussing on lead generation to <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/the-ultimate-lead-generation-process-for-2019/">lead education and nurturing</a> in a logical, sequential manner.</p>
<p>You’ll also need to understand your Lead Flow.</p>
<p>Some businesses have too many leads that need to “scored” before handing over only the “hottest” leads to your salespeople.</p>
<p>You see, understanding how marketing automation works can help you guide leads through your funnel more efficiently, and when done well, it can nurture leads all the way to sales conversion.</p>
<p>Even so, if your business is new or if you have a small business, you may not have enough leads.</p>
<p>If you have nothing coming into the top of your funnel, you will have nothing to nurture!</p>
<p>If you don’t have enough leads, you’ll need to put a plan in place to <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/marketing-automation-services/lead-magnets/">get more leads</a> using with content marketing, social media marketing, networking events, and so on.</p>
<p>You’ll need to do anything that will help to get prospects into the top of your funnel.</p>
<p>So how marketing automation works with your internal processes will be determined by answering the following questions:</p>
<ul>
<li>What defines a sales-ready lead for your business?</li>
<li>How does your sales team prioritize their time?</li>
<li>How will you implement lead nurturing for leads that are not ready to buy yet?</li>
<li>How will you re-engage sales leads that don’t move forward?</li>
<li>What key metrics do you report on a weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis?</li>
<li>How do you measure a campaign ROI?</li>
<li>Do you have missing or incomplete data?</li>
<li>If so, how will your data get cleansed to ensure your marketing automation doesn’t suffer?</li>
</ul>
<p>Now you understand the effect of people and your processes on how marketing automation works, it’s now time for…</p>
<h3><strong>Systems</strong></h3>
<p>Choosing the right system(s) for your business is paramount. Every business’ needs are unique. So do your research and select with care.</p>
<p>Whilst doing this, keep integration top of mind. The right marketing automation system for your business also needs to integrate seamlessly and completely with your accounting software, your website, and your other marketing tools and systems such as content management systems, and analytics platforms.</p>
<p>Ideally, you would use a <a href="https://keap.com/product/features/small-business-crm">complete CRM with Marketing Automation</a> already built in such as Infusionsoft.</p>
<h3><strong>How Marketing Automation Works &#8211; Summary</strong></h3>
<p>All of the factors discussed here are paramount for marketing automation success, but don’t let not having all of them in place keep you from getting stuck into it.</p>
<p>The best marketing automation strategies I’ve seen have <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/marketing-automation-works/">started small</a> with what they have, they plan for the future and scale up only as success is achieved.</p>
<p>Success breeds success!</p>
<p>Start small; aim for small successes first and then <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/boosting-sales/">scale up realistically and methodically</a> by building on those successes.</p>
<p>How does marketing automation work?</p>
<p>Now you know!</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>How to out market your competition is not difficult when you understand that few businesses market well.</p>
<p>Have you ever been sent an email that has absolutely nothing to do with your interests, or makes you an offer for something that you’ve already bought?</p>
<p>It’s annoying isn’t it?</p>
<h4>Consumers not only want but these days, expect to be treated as individual human beings with unique needs and preferences.</h4>
<p>What a nightmare for small business owners with a limited marketing budget right?</p>
<p>Well, before you go reaching for that bottle of scotch, the good news is that with the correct CRM and Automated Marketing platform, you can take advantage of this consumer trend and learn how to out marketed your competition in no time.</p>
<p>So listen up, here’s how to out market your competition:</p>
<h4><strong>1. Understand Who Your Customers Really Are</strong></h4>
<p>One of the most frustrating things for a business owner is not having all the information or data you need at your fingertips when you need it.</p>
<p>And asking leads or customers for the same information multiple times will hurt your retention rates, cost you referrals, and damage your standing in the marketplace.</p>
<p>Using a powerful CRM and Automated marketing platform like <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/marketing-automation-services/infusionsoft-consultant-gold-coast/">Infusionsoft</a>, you can segment your database in any way you want to.</p>
<p>This means that you can create groups of people in your database according to demographics, psychographics, buying behaviours, product purchases and any other ways that would be useful for your business to know.</p>
<p>For example, it would be good to segment men and women, as their buying behaviours are often different.</p>
<p>You may have some offerings that are purely for women and if a man receives this marketing he will not be impressed. This means you’ll lose favour in his eyes and all the people he shares his disappointment with.</p>
<p>So if you want to know how to out market your competition, the first step is to understand intimately who your prospects and customers are and then segment them into smaller groups that have the same or similar identifiers.</p>
<p>Once done, you can routinely follow up conversations and if you have a sales pipeline, you can easily schedule automated reminders for someone in your business to complete a manual task, such as a follow-up call.</p>
<p><strong>How To Out Market Your Completion Step 1:</strong> – Know who your customers really are and segment your database according to common identifiers.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h4><strong>2. Create Highly Targeted Messages</strong></h4>
<p>Now that you have your database segmented correctly, the next step in knowing how to out market your competition is to target your messages to those segments correctly. There’s nothing worse than receiving an email from a company who sends you information about something you have no interest in. Let’s say you downloaded a guide on liver detoxing from a health and wellbeing website. Then the next day you receive an email with <em>The Top Five Tips To Lose Weight Without Exercising</em>. While this may be an interesting subject for some, if you don’t have a weight problem and you downloaded the information on liver detoxing simply because you want more energy, you are going to feel misunderstood by that business. There is no excuse for a poorly targeted message when such great technology is around that allows segmentation of a database, such as <a href="https://www.infusionsoft.com/">Infusionsoft</a>. If someone expresses interest in your information for left-handed people who have green eyes and who love to cook vegetarian meals, your follow up messages ought to be written specifically for left-handed people with green eyes who love to cook vegetarian food, right? It’s so simple, but you can guarantee 99% percent of your competition is not doing this. And this is brilliant for you because you now know how to out market your competition… Segment your database as we looked at in the previous step, and provide highly-target messages and information to those segments. An example of this was a recent Blog post that I wrote. It was titled <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/marketing-automation-follow-up/"><em>Marketing Automation Follow Up – The Top 6 Benefits For Small Business</em></a> The people who subscribe to our Blogs are business owners who are interested in Marketing Automation and so this piece was written with them in mind. The result was that two people who read this information contacted us and one has become a client. This is the power of highly targeted messaging to the right audience. <strong>How To Out Market Your Competition Step 2:</strong> Create Highly-Targeted Messages for your correctly segmented database.</p>
<h4><strong>3. Track Your Campaign Performance</strong></h4>
<p>You have segmented your database and you are providing targeted information, what next? Using a campaign map inside your automated marketing platform you are able to keep tabs on the number of people who receive your marketing messages. From there you can also see at a glance what actions people are taking on your messages, what section of the campaign they are in, and who are the most engaged. Once people have responded in a certain manner to your marketing, they can have a “tag” automatically applied by your software, which in turn triggers and automated notification. This could be notifying a sales rep to call someone in your database that been identified as a “hot” prospect.</p>
<h4>This level of automation means that you reps will not be wasting time talking with people who have no interest in your offering or who are nowhere near ready to make a buying decision.</h4>
<p>Tracking your campaign performances shows you how to out market your competition by giving you the feedback on what is working and not working. This is not based on you guessing what your leads and customers are thinking, but by giving you real data in real time based on real behaviours!</p>
<h4>With this information at your fingertips how to out market your competition is no longer a mystery.</h4>
<p>All you need do is make adjustments and tweaks based on the data and soon enough your will have your campaigns perfectly optimised.</p>
<p><strong>How To Out Market Your Competition Step 3:</strong> Track Your Campaign Performance. Set the correct triggers and tweak and refine your campaigns until they are fully optimised. How to out market your completion is a relatively simple process in theory, but I don’t want to leave you with the impression that just anyone can do it well. First, you will need an excellent CRM and Automated Marketing Software such as <a href="https://keap.com/product/features/marketing-automation">Infusionsoft</a>. This will allow you to segment your database to the level that suits your business, as well as provide the responsive automation you need. For example, if you sell specific screwdrivers to women who don’t have children and who love to build flat pack furniture, you will need to be able to easily identify these people in your database. You will then need to compose marketing material that specifically talks to these people as if you know their thoughts, problems and aspirations. Then you will need to be able to review your campaign performance and make changes and tweaks as identified by real data, in real time based on the actions of real people. Now you know how to out market your competition, it’s time to take action!</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Marketing Automation follow up is one of the best ways to build closer relationships with your prospects and customers.</p>
<p>You see with marketing automation (even if at first glance it doesn’t seem so), you are able to provide more personalised attention to prospects and customers, for example:</p>
<p>When your marketing automation follow up is set up correctly you will segment your leads and customers into specific buying or behavior types.</p>
<p>This means you can follow up based on a person’s specific interests, which shows them that you have a deeper understanding of their needs and what is important to them.</p>
<p>With this in mind, let’s now look at the top 6 benefits of marketing automation follow up with prospects and customers…</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong style="color: #333333; font-size: 22px;">1. Build Better Relationships</strong></h2>
<p>If you automate the repetitive follow-up processes that your business has, prospects will not slip through the cracks, they will never receive an irrelevant or untimely message or feel ignored by your business.</p>
<p>Those who complain that marketing automation follow up removes the human element from your business is clearly not doing it correctly.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong style="color: #333333; font-size: 22px;">2. Capture and Nurture Leads 24/7</strong></h2>
<p>If someone requests a <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/services/lead-magnets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lead Magnet</a> in the middle of the night, your delivery sequence ensures it’s delivered to that person’s inbox within minutes.</p>
<p>In other words, marketing automation doesn’t sleep, forget or take “smoko” breaks.</p>
<p>Having a system that works around the clock means your customers are getting the consistent and timely information they need when they want it.</p></div>

<p>The ability to automatically segment and target groups based on actions they take (or don’t take) allows you to personalize your follow up specifically to that person’s needs. Doing this makes them feel special and understood or in marketing tech language, “you give them lot’s of love and cuddles”.</p>
<h2><strong style="color: #333333; font-size: 22px;">4. Convert More Leads Into Customers</strong></h2>
<p>Without marketing automation follow up, it’s easy to get behind in your follow-up and let warm and hot leads slip through the cracks.</p>
<p>Having consistent fail-safe follow up ensures that no one ever slips through the cracks; the cracks that often occur due to human error.</p>
<h2><strong style="color: #333333; font-size: 22px;">5. More Sales</strong></h2>
<p>By converting more leads into customers, you make more money&#8230; simple!</p>
<p>And once a lead becomes a customer, it will be easier to sell to them again with (automated) new offers or new bundles. It becomes easier because you don’t have to build that initial trust from scratch all over again, you already have it.</p>
<p>Enjoy more sales with Marketing Automation follow up.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong style="color: #333333; font-size: 22px;">6. Scale Up</strong></h2>

<p>Today we are bombarded with thousands of things trying to grab our attention every day. And I’m not talking about your wife, your husband, your children, your employees and so on…</p>
<p>I’m simply talking about, media!</p>
<p>Yes, that device that you carry with you all day long has a thousand and one “apps” that all want your attention.</p>
<p>Surely there must be an app for helping you decide which app is the best one to use and in what circumstances!</p>
<p>“There MUST be an app for that!”</p>
<p>And on top of this attention seeking frenzy, you have your email inbox.</p>
<p>We are assaulted all day long with emails promoting this product, promoting that service, offering this, offering that.</p>
<p>Lets’ face it with the number of emails hitting our inboxes every day and the number we bulk delete, email marketing doesn’t work anymore does it?</p>
<p>Think again…</p>
<p>Do you really think if email marketing didn’t work that you would still be receiving so many emails?</p>
<p>You see email marketing is brilliant for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Converting Leads To Customers</li>
<li>Converting Prospects To Appointments</li>
<li>Retaining Customers</li>
<li>Generating Referrals</li>
</ul>
<p>And why is it so effective?</p>
<p>Check this out…</p>
<h2>Email Marketing versus Facebook</h2>
<p>First Check of The Day: Email 58%                Facebook 11%</p>
<p>Prefer this channel for promotional messages:  Email 77%               Facebook  4%</p>
<p>People made purchases from marketing on this channel: Email 66%               Facebook  20%</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Despite what you want to believe, email marketing is still the most powerful form of marketing. In fact, the median ROI on email marketing spend is 122% with social media coming in at just 28%.</p>
<p>[Source: <a href="https://agencyanalytics.com/blog/social-media-vs-email-marketing">Direct Marketing Association</a>.]</p>
<p>So why are your emails not getting read? If your emails are not getting read, it’s because your emails suck! You see as I have learned with my background in copywriting is that it’s impossible to write too much, but it is possible to write stuff that is just plain boring! And this begins with your headline.</p>
<h4><strong>Your headline must stop your prospects in their tracks, sit up and take notice.</strong></h4>
<p>Your first line must engage your prospect emotionally. If not… it’s instant DELETE! It’s game over for that email. Consumers today are ruthless! So how do you write emails that get opened, get read and cause people to take action? In it’s simplest terms you need to “walk a mile in your prospects moccasins” and give them exactly what they need when they need it. This requires research, research and more research into who they are and what they want. Then it requires trial, correction, trial, correction, trial, and correction… I guess you have the idea by now. You need to write as if you have peeked into their personal journal and then:</p>
<ul>
<li>Offer genuine empathy for their current challenges</li>
<li>Teach them something of value about their situation that they wouldn’t have thought of before</li>
<li>Show them a way out or a way through their situation or to get what they want</li>
<li>Show them that you have the perfect solution for them</li>
</ul>
<p>Now, this doesn’t have to be all done in the one email, it can be done in bite-size chunks, like a good TV Series in which they can’t wait for the next installment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>And when you can do this, you can rest assured that your emails are not only opened, but they are eagerly awaited.</h3>
<p>Email marketing is the cheapest, highest ROI marketing platform available; make sure you reap the benefits that it affords.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Marketing Automation strategy can help small business owners who find themselves chained to their business.</p>
<p>The cavalry is here to help small business owners who spend more time in their business than they’d like to.</p>
<p>I was talking with a small business owner the other day. He was complaining about having no time, no life, that his staff were useless and he was trapped in this never-ending cycle of having to do everything himself.</p>
<p>He had created a monster that was eating him alive!</p>
<p>He was working 70+ hours a week!</p>
<p>No life, no leisure time and no energy.</p>
<p>Does this sound familiar?</p>
<p>It blows me away when there are so many technical solutions available, that small business owners still find themselves in this situation.</p>
<p>And this is more the norm than the exception.</p>
<p>It’s crazy!</p>
<p>After all you began your business for a better life right?</p>
<p>But what happened?</p>
<p>Why are you in this predicament of having to do it all yourself?</p>
<p>In my experience, it comes down to <u>trust</u>.</p>
<p>You don’t trust marketing automation strategy or you don’t trust anyone to set up the marketing automation strategy correctly for you.</p>
<p>Or perhaps you have a mature business and you think, “<em>our business is built on relationships so there is no need for technology.”</em></p>
<p>If you are business owner and you are working more than 40 hours a week, you either…</p>
<p>Absolutely love what you do and you find it more fulfilling than any leisure activity you know, or…</p>
<h4>You are wasting your time on menial tasks that could be easily replaced with the right marketing automation strategy and technology.</h4>
<p>And with the right marketing automation technology in place, you can also…</p>
<h4>Automate important tasks such as qualifying leads rather than you wasting your time on “tyre-kickers” who will never buy from you no matter how much time you give them.</h4>
<p>And what about your lost leads?</p>
<p>Most small businesses have a database of contacts, but due to lack of time and/or resources over 95% of contacts are left to wither away and die from lack of interest shown by the business.</p>
<p>But what if there was an engaging way to maintain regular contact with <u>everyone</u> in your database?</p>
<p>What if a lot of the warming up (and qualifying) of leads could be automated instead of you having to spend hours doing it in person?</p>
<p>What if you could activate your lost leads?</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>What if you could “set and forget” a silent automated marketing strategy that works 24/7 for you?</p>
<p>A lead generation machine that delivers qualified leads to your inbox, even while you sleep! Would that be good for your business and stress levels? Well, this is not “pie in the sky” or “fantasy land”… We do this for our clients every day here on the Gold Coast, using marketing automation strategy. You see there are seven “levers” in your business that directly affect your profitability… And if you can improve each lever by just 10%, you will double your profitability (I can show you the math). It gets better… What if you could also use marketing automation strategy to influence these levers? What would that mean for you and your business?</p>
<h4>This means that you could double your profitability and halve the time you spend working in your business!</h4>
<p>Would that be something worth discussing? It’s a no-brainer isn’t it? But don’t hesitate, because <u>now</u> is the only time to take action. Every moment you hesitate and every moment you don’t take action, that is time you will never get back! And do you really want to spend your life chained to a business that sucks the life-force out of you? I didn’t think so. So if you want a successful business and your life back…if you want to learn more about how marketing automation strategy can help you&#8230; Reach out and <a href="https://journeypoint.com.au/contact">contact me now </a>if you have any questions or <a href="http://meetme.so/rohanjames">book a free conference call</a> to understand how you can turn your business and life around now.
