Harriet Schneider from CMS Solutions presented on how they take email marketing offline to maximize results. CMS utilizes Act-On's marketing platform to integrate online and offline tactics. They run call campaigns on prospects identified through email marketing reports in Act-On. This operational approach has led to higher contact and lead rates, and lower costs per lead, than traditional email marketing alone. CMS provided examples showing how their process moves contacts to suspects, prospects, and eventually customers to close more sales.
