Episode Quotables
“Marketing automation is really about putting more of strategy and unifying all of your marketing efforts.There definitely still needs to be someone to develop the social side of the strategy and the email side of the strategy. It's not necessarily putting someone out of work, it's just making life easier developing the strategy instead of executing the actions.”
“You know the old saying ‘you have to crawl before you walk and then run’ so it’s very similar in this case. You’re going to want to start with a platform that if you’re using nothing at all right now that will allow you to gain experience and to develop a base strategy. We definitely recommend starting with a reason platform for what you want to do now and what you want to do immediately next.”
