Channel Marketing Automation ProcessMary interacts with your content(e.g., downloads a whitepaper)
Mary is assigned to a partner, and automatically enters a nurture track. She receives co-branded and personalized email messages over time
Mary enjoys the messages she’s receiving and continues to click calls to action.
Mary’s behaviors flip triggers which place her on different nurturing tracks specific to her interests
Mary’s behavior score in Channel Avenue increases as she interacts with content
When Mary’s score reaches a pre-determined threshold a “Hot Prospect” alert is sent to sales.
Other prospects enter your funnel and are tracked and nurtured the same way as Mary.
All prospect data is fully analyzed and reported on in real time to allow for in-flight “tweaks” to your campaign.
