What is Marketing Automation?
Simply put, marketing automation is in the same field as email marketing - except more powerful and smarter. Managing your emarketing campaigns can require a lot of time from your employees. From creating templates to managing send lists to sending blasts, the tasks can build up. Also, tracking open and click results and assigning follow-up can become tedious. With marketing automation, this can alleviate some of these steps by automating them based on rules.
For example, if someone, clicks on a particular link, Marketing Automation can automatically send follow-up emails based on their interest or assign an Act! activity for the appropriate salesperson. With Act! Marketing Automation you can manage newsletters to automatically be sent out, create a sign-up form that imports that data into your Act! CRM database without website design skills or help from IT, and more.

Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, Kelly is responsive, patient, and goes above and beyond what most would do. No question is ever left unanswered with Kelly. We could not have done this upgrade without her guidance and support. If you are doing anything with AMA, I highly recommend working with Kelly on your project.
