Marketing has become increasingly targeted and measurable allowing us to create strategies that can be quantified and tracked. One of the best ways to track the success of marketing efforts is by integrating a customer relationship management (CRM) system. A CRM allows you to track the success of various campaigns in relation to lead generation and overall sales.

The advancement in marketing and CRM capabilities over the last few decades has revolutionized the way marketers develop campaigns. Utilizing CRM systems like Salesforce allow you to track leads and develop specialized campaigns to reach key target markets. Here are some tips when developing marketing strategies to leverage your marketing and CRM:

Link your marketing campaigns to a CRM

Marketing campaigns designed to generate leads should have a direct link to a CRM system. This allows you to manage and track the results of various marketing strategies in relation to the effectiveness of lead generation. In many cases this is most effective for online campaigns which allow you to host lead capture forms that link directly to your CRM.

Develop lead nurturing campaigns

Most marketing campaigns are unsuccessful because they’re not designed to nurture leads. CRMs allow you to nurture leads and deliver information in an organized and efficient manner without confusing or overwhelming consumers. CRM tools like automatic emails that trigger based upon user engagement are a great way to move consumers though the lead lifecycle.

Get specific with your strategies

Once you have built up a strong database of leads, focus on developing micro marketing campaigns that target specific demographics. CRMs allow you to run reports and track which demographics are most likely to convert into sales. Identifying these groups and developing targeted strategies will allow you to create campaigns with higher conversion rates.
