Customer Journey Analytics

Marketing is getting harder. That's because there's more complexity in the buyer's journey than ever before.

With so many channels for leads to engage with a brand, and so many key milestones in the journey, it's not only become harder to understand which paths lead toward marketing success, it's become harder to identify where you can optimize your marketing operation.

That's why we created Customer Journey Analytics, an incredibly flexible reporting tool that focuses on touchpoints first.

By focusing on the touchpoints (e.g. viewing a landing page, submitting a form, attending a conference, talking to a rep, etc.), you can answer questions like:

  • Which landing pages lead to the highest conversion rates on a form?
  • Does attending a webinar increase or decrease the likelihood that a prospect will book a meeting with a sales rep?
  • Which sequences are the best at converting contacts into customers?

By building for flexibility -- including the ability to include certain lists of contacts in the reports or filtering touchpoints down to specific pages, forms, or campaigns -- we can help marketers report on, understand, and optimize any part of the customer journey.

“Manage Existing Values” Now Available Across All Objects and for Record ID Imports

Importers have long had the ability to skip known values within the CRM as they’re importing data; however, this functionality was limited in two ways:

 

  1. It was only available on contact and company imports, not imports of other object types.
  2. You couldn’t leverage this if you were using a Record ID property as your unique ID within import.

 

We’ve now removed these requirements so the ability to not overwrite existing values in the CRM can be leveraged for all objects and within import files that include a Record ID column.
