Example of an automated marketing workflow

Here’s a simple example of marketing automation. The workflow is set up once and starts automatically when the start trigger is triggered. There are no limits to the ideas.

First contact

For example, Mr. Maier becomes aware of the website XY via an advertisement or a social media posting and clicks on the link.

Since he has not had any contact with the website XY before, he is shown the standard content. Mr. Maier reads through the content and finds a page on which the trade fair appearance of company XY is advertised.

Event booking lead

He registers for a personal trade fair appointment. He can book this directly via a calendar tool and fills out the form with his name, e-mail address and telephone number. This activates the automation or the stored workflow.

CRM

The responsible sales employee receives all information about the appointment at the trade fair in his calendar. A data record is created for the user in CRM. This data record is assigned to a sales employee.

Prequalification

At the same time, the secretary is assigned a task in CRM: She is to call Mr. Maier and find out more about the company and his interests. This information is stored in CRM and the sales representative can prepare for the call. Mr. Maier is interested in the product "blue".

appointment confirmation

Mr. Maier immediately receives an appointment confirmation and the contact details of the sales representative sent by e-mail.

In this mail, he is also automatically sent links to the info PDF of the product category "blue".

1 week before the fair date

1 week before the agreed date at the trade fair, Mr. Maier receives the exact site plan of the trade fair stand by e-mail.

Fair date

The sales employee can see in the CRM exactly what information the secretary collected in the telephone call with Mr. Maier. He can also see which information material he downloaded from the appointment confirmation e-mail. This allows him to prepare perfectly for the personal appointment.

The biggest challenge in strategic lead generation is to provide sufficient and continuous highly qualified leads for the sales pipeline while not losing sight of ROI.
