GreenRope vs Marketo
An effective marketing automation strategy must incorporate CRM data into the mix. If you don’t, you miss out on valuable opportunities to personalize, engage, and sell more. Not to mention, two platforms are more difficult and costly to integrate than an all-in-one system like GreenRope. On top of that, the more technology you stack up, the chances of inaccurate and misaligned data skyrocket significantly. An integrated CRM and marketing automation tool can help you do more with less. While Marketo is a widely-used platform, it can be quite pricey for a small business looking to start with marketing automation. Not to mention, the additional costs that you’ll take on with third-party platforms to help you integrate your sales, marketing, and operations.
