Overall Satisfaction with Marketo
We use Marketo to run dozens of marketing programs simultaneously, allowing our team to operate like we are 3-5x our actual size. We initially started using it as strictly a marketing tool to help us send emails to our customers, automate our form completions, and nurture our database. We are now using it to measure every kind of marketing program we run - even Telemarketing campaigns and ones that don't really exist online at all - and we measure our entire Lead Lifecycle using the software as well. It is quickly becoming our one stop shop for everything marketing related, and we are even finding ways to expand its use outside of the Marketing organization. We will soon be running implementation update campaigns to newly-signed customers.
Pros
- Schedule marketing touch points to leads that have expressed specific kinds of interest in our solutions, and tailor those touch points to the activities the leads have completed.
- Automate the running of invitation campaigns to webinars, trade shows, and other events in a "set it and forget it" fashion - all while making it easy to check in on progress.
- Provide at-a-glance insight into the performance of a marketing program using the dashboard view of Programs.
- Sync with Salesforce.com
Cons
- The standard Analytics section is extremely basic, not allowing for deep-dives in a helpful way. I would love to see the ability to schedule SmartList subscriptions in the way that you can schedule the more bare basic Analytics reports to arrive to your inbox.
- Implementation can really be a challenging endeavor if you do not engage with a Marketo consultant to do it, and even then, lots of mistakes are made.
- Better ability for sales to prioritize leads and identify most qualified ones - leading to faster response time
- Exponential growth in marketing team productivity and ability to run multiple programs at once
- Improved insight into engagement of our database
