Written by Rebecca Salzman | 7/5/23 10:00 AM

Have you ever found yourself drowning in spreadsheets and contact logs, trying to keep track of all your client interactions? Then you’ll know - trying to keep track of client relationships manually can be a real pain in the you-know-what. That’s why CRM automation is so important. By automating customer relationship management, you can do far more than save time. You can use automation to get renewed insight into the trajectory of your leads and opportunities, and find new ways to make it even better.

Automating your CRM and marketing processes for enhanced experiences

Let's face it, managing client relationships is time-consuming. Between sending emails, making phone calls, and keeping track of sales opportunities, there's a lot to juggle. That’s why it’s important to automate the key touch points that nurture opportunities and keep clients engaged. On the other side of the coin, effective marketing relationships can take just as long to perfect. When it comes to engaging marketing, personalization is key. You want to make sure that you're targeting the right people with the right message. But doing this manually can be a real challenge.   But with HubSpot, you can automate your CRM processes to create personalized sales experiences and marketing campaigns based on actual client data. 

 

  • Follow-up with personalized emails without having to type a single word. 
  • Bring in smart CTAs to add a dynamic layer to user experience. 
  • Add smart content to customer journeys to connect on a personal level. 
  • Sync your communications with your CRM to include the entire team on the journey. 

 

By taking advantage of these features and a wealth of others, you can improve your efficiency and effectiveness, all while providing a better experience for your clients. The importance of sales and marketing alignment in automation. Now all of the above is amazing. But to get the most out of your automation efforts, it's important to align your sales and marketing teams. 

When your sales and marketing teams are working in synergy you can create a more cohesive client journey and improve the overall customer experience tenfold.  Marketing material is built on the sole purpose of engaging people. Whether it’s through unique value propositions or touching on the personal pain points your leads are dealing with each day, a company’s marketing team spends their days finding ways to connect to the individuals behind the “leads” and “opportunities” labels. 

 

When sales journeys are built on these connections, and further nurture the relationship through targeted content, they reach a deeper level and make more of an impact than any sales pitch can achieve on its own. 

 

The sharing of data and insights between sales and marketing teams helps both sides understand your clients' needs and preferences better, allowing them to provide a more personalized experience even when it's automated. 

  • Keeping the human touch
  • Keeping that personal touch in automation is what makes all the difference. 

 

Because yes, we’re looking for efficiency and ways to grow businesses in more resource-effective ways. But that efficiency should never come at the cost of authentic relationships. 1406 may be a HubSpot implementation partner that helps businesses perfect a digital journey. But we know that the digital journey is still rooted in human interaction. And it’s that constant reminder that needs to drive your automation, keeping it authentic and human … even when it's not.
