Marketing Insights You Can't Afford to Ignore

Are you struggling to measure the true impact of your marketing efforts?

This is a common problem for many marketers and founders.

In fact, without complete data:

• It's impossible to understand what works and what doesn’t.

• You can’t predict growth.

• You and your sales team navigate blindly.

This leads to inefficient spending and missed opportunities.

Imagine taking important marketing decisions based on incomplete information.

This likely results in:

• A waste of budget

• Not achieving revenue targets

• A bad impression of your skills and capacity

When I speak with CEOs and CMOs, "growth in revenue" is always the priority.

Implementing a CRM system puts your data in control and amplifies your marketing and revenue impact. I've done this exercise with Gianluca and several other companies.

Here are 5 essential steps to get started:

1. Data Consolidation:
Aggregate all your existing marketing data into a single, unified system. This eliminates data silos and provides a comprehensive view of your marketing activities.
PRO TIP: Customer (or unified profile) should be at the center of your whole strategy. Design your journey starting from their experience.

2. Define Key Metrics:
Clearly identify the critical metrics that reflect your marketing performance. Focus on metrics like lead conversion rates, customer acquisition costs, and return on marketing investment.

3. CRM Integration:
Ensure seamless integration of your CRM with all marketing channels—email, social media, web analytics. This enables automatic data flow and consistent tracking across platforms.

4. Training and Adoption:
Train your marketing team thoroughly on using the CRM. Emphasize the importance of accurate data entry, leveraging insights for strategic decisions, and continuous data updating.

5. Set Up Reporting Dashboards:
With all your data on the same platform, create custom dashboards within your CRM to monitor key metrics in real-time. Use these dashboards to analyze trends, identify successes, and pinpoint areas needing improvement.

Once you control your data, revenue becomes more predictable, and customers feel prioritized.

During the last 2 years, I've built a strong framework to predict and influence my revenues, working on every stage of the funnel.
