We created PingPilot to help you generate and foster stronger, more human connections with your customers. Marketo created LaunchPoint to help you find trusted, relevant marketing applications to help you establish lifelong relationships with your customers. These two missions converge with PingPilot’s Marketo LaunchPoint Partnership that lets you add voice, SMS and live chat channels to your ongoing, automated content marketing campaigns.
Why Add Voice, SMS, Chat, Video, and Email to Marketo?
Save both you and your customers the pain of complicated marketing automation campaigns.
Take back the hours and endless dollars invested in building, segmenting and cleaning email lists. Stop stressing your developers out writing antiquated HTML for email clients that can’t deliver a decent experience. Build trust with your customers by lifting the mile-long lead qualitication form and give them on-demand access to your campaign content and your team.
When you’re measuring marketing automation campaign success in single-digit CTRs, it’s time to add some communication channels to the mix—ones your customers use every day.
Customers want dedicated, personal assistance, but prefer to engage on their terms. With PingPilot Signals, customers are automatically matched with a dedicated agent who will interact with them in the channel they most prefer. With PingPilot’s Marketo LaunchPoint Partnership, each Voice, SMS, Chat, Video, and Email interaction is synchronized with customer records in Marketo. These same customer records also provide PingPilot agents with a bit of caller ID when customers engage them via voice, SMS and live chat.
