Using Marketo

Product Marketing, Field Marketing, Integrated Marketing, Marketing Operations
10 - I am part of the support staff. There are 10 of us that cover different regions around the world. All that is needed is a willingness to learn and a good attitude.
  • Event Marketing
  • Email Content Marketing
  • Lead Nurture
  • Customer Retention
  • We exploit every aspect of the Engagement programs for our lead nurturing efforts.
  • Large integrated event lead capture. We developed a program to do this for our largest trade show of the year by partnering with Marketo integrated vendors and will be using it for smaller events in the near future.
There is no question that this is the best tool on the market.
  • We are finally able to show marketing influence on sales.

Marketo Implementation

With Marketo implementation support, our "Super Users" were trained and the product was implemented in four months from the day we signed the contracts. This was an amazing feat for us. It went smoothly and with great speed.

Change management was a big part of the implementation and was well-handled
  • Everyone has issues during an implementation. However, none were major.
