Bad Blood between sales and CS? Shake it Off!

Source: wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Blood_(Taylor_Swift_song) In case you live under a rock, Taylor Swift has been on a bit of a roll recently. “Bad Blood” won a VMA award for music video of the year.

When we think about the duties of the client success team, three main responsibilities come to mind: customer training, support, and retention. So how does the implementation of a marketing automation platform help this division as they are tasked with assisting, maintaining, and developing the relationship of the customer? It doesn’t.

Give me all your data

data

Let’s be honest, as marketers, we crave data. In a world where we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data a day, we still seem to look at our own databases and come to the conclusion that it’s “not enough.” For B2B marketers in particular, it’s in the details. Personal details about customers are crucial for marketing […]

When I first started working in marketing technology, I engaged with clients via telephone, email, online and face-to-face meetings. That’s how they preferred to communicate with us, so that’s how we made ourselves available to them.
