										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><font color="black"><strong>Why get a marketing automation audit?</strong></font></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Marketing-Automation-600x338.jpg" alt="Marketing automation graphic showing different software package icons." width="600" height="338" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11115" srcset="https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Marketing-Automation-600x338.jpg 600w, https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Marketing-Automation-600x338-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" />A marketing automation audit is an objective third-party evaluation of your <a href="https://www.marketo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marketo</a> and/or <a href="https://www.pardot.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pardot</a> (Salesforce Marketing Cloud) instance. The purpose is to know how well they are working with your salesforce automation software to achieve your lead and sales pipeline goals. Marketing automation audits can reveal many aspects of underutilization or lack of staff training that, when fixed, can make a radical improvement in your company sales pipeline and measurement. Remember, marketing automation audits aren’t just for the marketing department’s benefit.  It’s for the sales department too.  It’s your best first line of defense to diagnose and troubleshoot lead quality, and fix scoring and reporting issues. </p>
<p>We recently completed audits for two companies and found two completely different sets of results and issues.  Surprisingly, a major tech company using Marketo for six years was using fewer features and functions than most companies that have used it for only 12 months. We began to train their staff on new features to organize, segment and track campaigns. And with further analysis of the data, we found we could save them $60,000 per year on their Marketo contract renewal through some pretty simple data cleanup. Wow!</p>
<p>And for the other audit&mdash;a smaller healthcare device company that was using Pardot for three years&mdash;we found a surprisingly organized set up. However it was paired with an inexperienced demand generation specialist in desperate need of training. The result was management’s unfulfilled desire to score and nurture new leads. We set out to fix these things immediately. </p>
<h2><font color="black"><strong>Changes that can precipitate a marketing automation audit</strong></font></h2>
<p>Many company changes can precipitate the need for a marketing automation audit.  The following are five of the most common we come across. </p>
<h3><font color="black"><strong>Five good reasons to initiate a marketing automation audit:</strong></font></h3>
<ul>
<li>3-6 months prior to renewal of your Pardot or Marketo instance (and for major MarTech tools)&mdash;to review structure and costs</li>
<li>A top admin leaves (or high turnover in demand gen staff)&mdash;to smooth out transition period</li>
<li>New CMO and/or Director of Demand Gen – to give a good analysis of the current install  and what needs to change</li>
<li>Need to benchmark progress (i.e. have follow-up audits every 6-12 months)</li>
<li>Need an objective way to separate operational issues from sales &#038; marketing issues</li>
</ul>
<h2><font color="black"><strong>The value of an objective 3rd party audit can be in several areas and often pays for itself in cost savings with renewals:</strong></font></h2>
<ul>
<li>Helps budgeting and planning for:</li>
<ul>
<li>MarTech stack</li>
<li>Demand gen staff &#038; vendors</li>
<li>Training and organizational alignment</li>
</ul>
<li>Helps uncover hidden issues such as:</li>
<ul>
<li>Missing MarTech tools</li>
<li>Underutilized or incorrectly utilized features</li>
<li>Lead leakage / loss and bottlenecks</li>
<li>Data that can be eliminated (and thus not included in renewal)</li>
</ul>
<li>Helps analyze the meaning of the findings</li>
<ul>
<li>View data with fresh eyes to point out obvious patterns</li>
<li>Share relevant &#8220;lessons learned&#8221; from other orgs</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<h2><font color="black"><strong>The four major areas marketing automation audits cover</strong></font></h2>
<p>A marketing automation audit typically covers four critical areas of analysis: contact management, data health, governance and campaign management. We will explore each of these areas below. </p>
<h3><font color="black"><strong>1.&nbsp;Contact Management</strong></font></h3>
<p><strong>Goals</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>To troubleshoot known issues in Pardot/Marketo to salesforce automation transfer of leads or values</li>
<li>To identify inconsistencies or gaps in current lead management</li>
<li>To define standards and rules for form creation and back end processing</li>
<li>To document Pardot/Marketo to salesforce automation sync (current state and post-fix)</li>
<li>Document any 3rd party connection synch processes</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Focus</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Use of forms (type, consistency)</li>
<li>Form field capture,  and back end form  processing (hidden  fields, UTMs etc)</li>
<li>Lead routing workflows and salesforce integration</li>
<li>Lead statuses triggered or converting as expected</li>
<li>Lead scoring (document profile / behavior score system)</li>
<li>Review Prospect, Account, and Opportunity field mapping</li>
<li>Review use of progressive profiling</li>
<li>Review Pardot tagging strategy</li>
</ul>
<h3><font color="black"><strong>2.&nbsp;Data Health and Gap Analysis</strong></font></h3>
<p><strong>Goals</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>To capture current state and provide a benchmark for judging data health e.g.</li>
<li>Active database</li>
<li>Marketable database</li>
<li>To define standards and rules for field mapping</li>
<li>Make initial recommendations for data normalization (e.g. US, United States, USA should all be US)</li>
<li>Make initial recommendation for list segmentation</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Focus</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Database size</li>
<li>Marketable %</li>
<li>Unresponsive data / junk data / duplication</li>
<li># and % of <strong>unsubscribed</strong></li>
<li># and % of opted in contacts (with opt in date)</li>
<li># of fields, default / custom fields, field values, and field type</li>
<li>Audit lists (document, size, last used)</li>
<li>% of duplicate records</li>
<li>CANSPAM, GDPR, etc. validation and recommendation</li>
<li>Create list of top 20 values in each field to support normalization</li>
</ul>
<h3><font color="black"><strong>3.&nbsp;Usage and Governance</strong></font></h3>
<p><strong>Goals</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>To recommend new standards if necessary</li>
<li>To ensure compliance with data privacy rules&emdash;as appropriate by region/country, etc&#8230;</li>
<li>To apply more controls as to Pardot/Marketo usage</li>
<li>Verify email deliverability</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Focus</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Review Naming convention and folder hierarchy</li>
<li>Check for Explicit opt in management</li>
<li>Review Current users and permission levels</li>
<li>Review and recommend tag normalization</li>
<li>Document and recommend archiving of lists, templates, forms, campaigns, etc&#8230;</li>
<li>Test deliverability to ensure the domain is not identified by Spam blockers</li>
<li>Inventory and review all email and landing page assets</li>
</ul>
<h3><font color="black"><strong>4.&nbsp;Campaign and Nurture</strong></font></h3>
<p><strong>Goals</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>To identify what ‘clean out’ efforts are needed</li>
<li>To make it easier to see what’s active or not</li>
<li>To support better practices around template use</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Focus</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Document a full list of all Pardot/Marketo assets: forms, landing pages, templates, campaigns, and engagement streams</li>
<li>Current status of all assets (archived, draft, active, not in use)</li>
<li>% of duplicate records</li>
<li>Troubleshoot email and landing page templates</li>
</ul>
<p>An audit will result in a report on each of these areas and a set of observations for good findings and areas that need fixing. </p>
<h3><font color="black"><strong>Small changes often yield big results. Big changes yield even bigger results</strong></font></h3>
<p>Every marketing automation audit we’ve conducted has yielded a different set of issues and the fixes needed.  We often rank the fixes needed in order of priority and help the client to determine the tradeoffs or benefits gained for investing in them. Even small data cleanups can yield big cost savings, and significantly improve lead quality.  Bigger investments in fixing nurture streams and lead scoring can yield big results in ushering better leads filling the pipeline – something that will surely warm the heart of marketing and sales alike. Because the marketing automation audit isn’t just for marketing, it’s for sales too.  They have a vested in interest in what is being pushed over to the salesforce automation system, and a marketing automation audit is your best first defense to ensure better quality leads get there.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: black;"><strong>Email nurture may be coming “full circle”</strong></span></h2>
<p>I remember the first time as a young marketing manager at a software company in the 1980’s we were given an email account to communicate with our co-workers. It was text only, kludgey, and the very foundation of email inbox systems we use today. The first email sending platforms in the 1990s only allowed text emails, and in those days email marketing often had 50-75% click-through rates. That seemed like the golden age of email marketing from a response and simplicity standpoint. Emails were easy to set up. Copy was clean and clear. We’ve come a long way since then by adding images, personalization, and dynamic content to emails. But, with the complexity we may have taken away from clean design and clarity of message. However, we may be coming “full circle,” returning to a simpler, cleaner and more text oriented design for email nurture. We’ll explore the reasons why in this article.</p>
<h2><span style="color: black;"><strong>Simpler may be better…for a lot of reasons</strong></span></h2>
<p>The trend back to a more text-oriented design for emails started a couple of years ago, but I’ve noticed it gain huge momentum in the past six months. There a number of possible reasons for this. Text emails are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mobile compatible (not a lot of big images taking up viewport area)</li>
<li>Fast to execute</li>
<li>Feel authentic (like a real person is writing/sending them)</li>
<li>Easy for a busy person to get through</li>
</ul>
<p>Huge proponents of these types of emails are Ann Handley, of Marketing Profs, Ryan Deiss of Digital Marketer, and even LinkedIn and Marketo have gotten into the swing. Check out the latest nurture email I just received from LinkedIn this week. Very simple text explaining new company page features. It has a text link with no button! They leave the images and video out of the email and put them on a very well done landing page.</p>
<div id="attachment_10989" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10989" src="https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Email-nurture-from-LinkedIn-450x475.jpg" alt="LinkedIn email nurture example." width="450" height="475" class="size-full wp-image-10989" srcset="https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Email-nurture-from-LinkedIn-450x475.jpg 450w, https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Email-nurture-from-LinkedIn-450x475-284x300.jpg 284w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /><p id="caption-attachment-10989" class="wp-caption-text">Example text email nurture from LinkedIn. All text, no logo, and no buttons.</p></div>
<h2><span style="color: black;"><strong>The biggest motivation might be mobile</strong></span></h2>
<p>Designing emails for mobile compatibility can be a huge struggle to get everything you want to say in the first view/scroll area. Big images, or any images for that matter, can push your main message too far down and get in the way of what you’re trying to accomplish with nurture messaging. That’s why I think many brands are moving away from images, big logos and big buttons on their nurtures and moving to a more text-oriented, clean approach to email design. That approach looks great on desktop and mobile.</p>
<h2><span style="color: black;"><strong>Less to program means faster to execute</strong></span></h2>
<p>A text oriented email means you have less to program. You don’t have to over-engineer the email with responsive design and @media commands. It can be a single-column, albeit narrower mobile aware design done in simple HTML or a template that almost anyone in the marketing department can manage.</p>
<h2><span style="color: black;"><strong>Text feels more authentic</strong></span></h2>
<p>There is a big push in marketing for brands to feel more authentic to their customers. There’s nothing more authentic than a personal note or letter. Many marketers are having their email nurtures signed by assigned account reps and if their name is going on it, it better feel like it’s coming from them with a more personal note rather than a splashy promotional email.</p>
<h2><span style="color: black;"><strong>Text emails are easy for the reader to get through</strong></span></h2>
<p>The competition for eyes and readership in the inbox is huge. You’re better off if you’re known as the brand that “gets to the point fast.” Or at least fast and in an interesting way. Ann Handley of Marketing Profs writes very entertaining emails, but more than that she gets her point across fast without a lot of visual hoopla. So if you’re cruising through your inbox and want to see the latest course details or find out what’s on Ann’s ever curious mind, boom you can usually get through her emails in 5 to 10 seconds.</p>
<div id="attachment_10990" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10990" class="size-full wp-image-10990" src="https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Marketing-Profs-Nurture-Example.jpg" alt="MarketingProfs nurture email example." width="450" height="828" srcset="https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Marketing-Profs-Nurture-Example.jpg 450w, https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Marketing-Profs-Nurture-Example-163x300.jpg 163w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /><p id="caption-attachment-10990" class="wp-caption-text">MarketingProfs emails are clean, simple and easy to get through.</p></div>
<p>Even the big boys, like Marketo, are thinking that simple text is better. Check out this email nurture example. It’s an invite to a webinar on artificial intelligence and personalization. They chose good old, simple text to get this invite out the door. Not much foo-foo in this email. And honestly, I didn’t need more than what they put in that one sentence to know whether I wanted to attend the webinar. We were both served well by the simplicity and brevity.</p>
<div id="attachment_10991" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10991" class="size-full wp-image-10991" src="https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Marketo-Nurture-Email-text-450x442.jpg" alt="Marketo nurture email example." width="450" height="441" srcset="https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Marketo-Nurture-Email-text-450x442.jpg 450w, https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Marketo-Nurture-Email-text-450x442-300x294.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /><p id="caption-attachment-10991" class="wp-caption-text">Marketo chose a very simple text email note to promote an upcoming webinar.</p></div>
<h2><span style="color: black;"><strong>Less is more…response</strong></span></h2>
<p>The return to text email style is supported by the fact that even outside of marketing, workers are struggling to simplify communications with popular productivity tools like Slack that are simple text-oriented communications. Going back to our email roots may also revive our response rates. If our email readers know that they can get the stuff they need quickly and easily from our emails, then they may be more likely to open them. This is being tested by many, and I believe will bear out meaningful results in increasing open and click-through rates. And in the words of the poet Robert Browning, “less is more.”</p>

Laurie Beasley, President of Beasley Direct and Online Marketing, Inc., will be teaching live online demand generation fundamentals workshop for the <a href="https://dmanc.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Direct Marketing Association of Northern California</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Enroll in the recorded online workshop <a href="https://dmanc.org/workshop/demand-generation-lead-conversion-fundamentals-recorded-online/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">here</a>.</strong></p>
<p>This course takes a fresh approach to demand generation, by helping you set goals with the Sales department, manage the touch points for lead qualification and optimize your communication channels for maximum success.</p>
<p>The pressure for B2B marketers is on. Modern B2B buyers have an increasing tendency and capacity to research purchasing decisions online long before they engage with Sales. They are empowered with information, and winning over modern B2B buyers requires organizations to revolutionize their marketing approach. To compound the problem, Sales teams demand higher quality “sales-ready” leads to hit their numbers. It can take 7 to 13+ big touches to generate a qualified sales opportunity. The marketer is on the hook to manage and deliver the sales qualified leads, and this session will help you deliver. <a href="https://dmanc.org/workshop/lead-conversion-training/" target="_blank">Learn more</a>.</p>

Our team understands these special lead nurturing requirements so well that we’ve named these programs “Meeting Maker Campaigns”. Each project entails a painstaking process to recognize problems, plan, coordinate, test, monitor, analyze, tweak, re-test and repeat. It sounds like a lot of activity, and it is, but it is so worth the effort.</p>
<p>We’ve had the pleasure to drive projects and achieve some spectacular results several times greater than the original goals, earning many DMA ECHO and other <a href="https://beasleydirect.com/about/awards/" target="_blank">awards</a> for <em>results</em> as well as creativity. We share highlights of our extensive experience with hundreds of campaigns for technology, financial, healthcare, business and high-end consumer goods and services in the <a href="https://beasleydirect.com/resources/case-studies/" target="_blank">Resources</a> portion of this site.</p>
<h2><font color="black"><strong>4 Examples of Meeting Maker Campaign Strategies</strong></font></h2>
<p>Here’s a brief look at four remarkable examples that demonstrate our distinct strategic approach to capture more qualified leads, consequently speeding up sales closes with Meeting Maker Campaigns.</p>
<ol type="I">
<h3><font color="black"><strong></p>
<li>Choreographing intricate lead flow crushes goals by over 1000%!</li>
<p></strong></font></h3>
<p>To deliver <em>qualified</em> leads, this elaborate program started with a dimensional direct mail door opener that drove actions on a landing page to sign up for a demo. Emailings followed next, then outbound telemarketing and finally responders. The results and creative strategy of this campaign won an International ECHO Award. <a href="https://beasleydirect.com/case_studies/how-we-beat-lead-goals-by-1000-and-won-an-award-for-anritsu-with-a-meeting-maker-campaign/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Click here</a> to get lead generation ideas from this chronicle.</p>
<h3><font color="black"><strong></p>
<li>Face-to-face with “warmed-up,” qualified leads campaign hits 167% of goal</li>
</li>
<p></strong></font></h3>
<p>Understanding the target was critical to create the right appeal for <a href="https://www.anritsu.com/en-US" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Anritsu</a>. Our multi-touch campaign used another dimensional direct mail package with a special offer, which led to a white paper download. <a href="https://beasleydirect.com/case_studies/helped-anritsu-exceed-lead-goals-167-meeting-maker-campaign/" target="_blank">Read the full details</a> to see how we generated $2.8 million in sales in just three months.</p>
<h3><font color="black"><strong></p>
<li>Appointment-setting multi-touch, multichannel campaign yields $2.5 million</li>
</li>
<p></strong></font></h3>
<p>PPC advertising, trade shows and email weren’t hitting sales goals for an industrial glove corporation. Telemarketing lead prospecting and qualification coupled with list and offer testing made the difference. <a href="https://beasleydirect.com/case_studies/how-we-helped-an-industrial-glove-manufacturer-to-schedule-new-sales-appointments-that-resulted-in-2-5-million-in-incremental-sales/" target="_blank">Click</a> to see how we used best practices to solve the revenue problem with just 4.28 average touches, instead of the usual 7-13 communications.</p>
<h3><font color="black"><strong></p>
<li>Messaging, tele-prospecting and timed follow-up narrow lead-to-sales gap</li>
</li>
<p></strong></font></h3>
<p>When a wide-area network software optimization company came to BDOM for help with qualification and neglected potential leads, we began by looking at the difficulty to get the attention of their IT professional target. We also reviewed their current activities, which were already wide-ranging, but had no process for lead qualification.</p>
<p><a href="https://beasleydirect.com/case_studies/executed-meeting-maker-campaign-network-software-company/" target="_blank">Learn how</a> BDOM diagnosed problems, tested lists and creative, spun on a dime to tweak and execute a campaign which cut down the competitor’s market share. We created a coordinated dance of messaging, telemarketing lead qualification and sales team follow-up with enticing content that continues successfully today.</p>
