What's the difference between CRM, marketing automation and DMPs?

What's the difference between CRM, marketing automation and DMPs? | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
Using a slightly dry but useful typology model, we can look at the various development stages of CRM.

  • Operational CRM: 'reengineering the customer-facing business processes and systems to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of day-to-day operations across sales, marketing and customer service'.
  • Analytical CRM: Storing, extracting, interpreting and reporting on customer data - to optimise business decisions and support customer-centricity.
  • Collaborative CRM: 'integration of the front- and back-office processes that combine to support customer interactions.'
  • Social CRM: Deliver a consistent customer experience across social media, using analytics to support customer conversations and response handling. Integration of social data with broader CRM.

CRM Is Branching Out to Include Marketing Automation - ClickZ

CRM Is Branching Out to Include Marketing Automation - ClickZ | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

"CRM is really a robust customer database and a foundational element of marketing. Yet, many marketers don't actually have a formal CRM solution. A recent study from Capterra, which connects buyers with software vendors through an online forum, found that only 18 percent of retailers surveyed use a CRM solution. This was nearly twice as high a percent as the next category, business services (10 percent). Interestingly, the study found that more CRM users work for B2C businesses (60 percent) than B2B firms (55 percent).


The study found that most companies invest in CRM early in their business life, but usually as a sales database (80 percent) as opposed to a marketing solution (46 percent) or customer service tool (44 percent). About half of the study's respondents adopted a CRM solution when they had fewer than 50 overall employees, and 65 percent had about 100 customers. Fewer than half (about 44 percent) in the study are integrating their CRM system with a marketing automation solution.


Marketers who do use CRM solutions want more. Capterra's report found that marketers are having an increased influence on which CRM solution is chosen. They are looking for a blend of marketing automation, segmentation management, social analytics, audience insights, and salesforce automation that tracks marketing qualified leads through the entire cycle. Firms like Infusionsoft, Marketo, and HubSpot are all moving in this "blended" direction."

Data Accuracy’s Impact on the Marketing Automation Space - 1to1 Media

Data Accuracy’s Impact on the Marketing Automation Space - 1to1 Media | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
Though CRM and marketing automation systems have become commonplace, many companies have yet to successfully employ these tools to their benefit.


Key excerpt...


According to 72 percent of those polled, accuracy remains the most attractive element of any sales intelligence tool. However, data accuracy also happens to be the primary challenge companies struggle with when it comes to their automation system and determining marketing ROI and sales productivity. In many instances, organizations put sales representatives in charge of data cleansing, yet 46 percent of respondents say doing so leads to more than half of their database being inaccurate. This technique, combined with the inability to segment based on current technologies deployed (61 percent), truly limits a company's capacity to target potential clients and make strategic plays to displace an organization's current vendor choice. Marketers and IT professionals require high quality lead and contact data in order to ensure highly relevant, targeted messaging gets in front of the right person, for accurate, detailed, and up-to-date information could mean the difference between success and failure in today's competitive environment.

CRM Series: How Much CRM Experience Do You Need to Be Successful with Marketing Automation? - Marketo

CRM Series: How Much CRM Experience Do You Need to Be Successful with Marketing Automation? - Marketo | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

Key excerpt...


For me, marketing automation is less about automated emails, WYSIWYG editors, drip lead nurturing programs, or even complex scoring models.  The difference between ordinary and great marketing automation implementations is not who uses the most functionality, but how the tool is used to improve their business processes as they stand today.  These optimizations need to be carried out in both the marketing automation tool and the CRM.  Similarly the processes must be agreed upon by marketing and all other CRM stakeholders.


Marteq's insight:

It's inescapable: one feeds into the other. Now can you use MA without CRM? Absolutely. And can you modify your CRM org so that it delivers on some of the basic features offered by MA? You bet. But if you have one and considering the other, then it's a must to integrate, and you need to become feature cognizant for each.

Why the Data will Dictate CRM and Automation Success in 2013 - 1to1 Media

Why the Data will Dictate CRM and Automation Success in 2013 - 1to1 Media | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
Data cleanliness is of paramount importance to these marketers today. In a world of process orientation, moving the needle a few percentage points at each stage of the funnel can have significant benefits.


"Bad data" comes in several common forms:

  • Duplicate records include two or more of the same contact, causing activity tracked on a lead to be diluted, resulting in missed MQLs
  • Obsolete contacts are no longer in the position or at the company where they are listed as working
  • Incomplete contacts are missing fields such as job title, phone number, industry, or email address
  • Incorrect contacts contain a non-working phone number, old job title, or undeliverable email address
Marteq's insight:

We can't overemphasize the importance of working with clean data, from avoiding the above (and delivering nonsense to Sales) to the impact on your email marketing scores. Dedupe, consolidate, append and clean. Rinse and repeat.
