At one time the expansion and proper establishment of any business depended on such factors like, ones capabilities to traverse lands and oceans, garner support from the Kings and queens etc. Paperwork which largely dominated the field were manually made and laboriously maintained, voluminous rosters and records were preserved regarding every detail of the business. All in all, any business no matter how big or small required a lot of manual input which consumed a considerable amount of time and energy of the proprietors/partners etc; time which could be put into better use in other aspects of the business.

But fast forward to the 21st century, these problems have been cut down greatly due to the technological revolution we have been noticing for the past few decades. The internet and the profusion of several kinds of software in the market today, make our professional and personal lives easier today, by leaps and bounds. One such helpful software available to business houses today is the Marketing automation software and these are increasing in popularity with each passing day. But not everybody is still quite clear of what it is and how it can help them.
We often come across definitions on product sites which state the following ‘CRM & Marketing Automation – we help companies automate the sales process by building great automated marketing programs that qualify and segment leads and close more clients’. This pretty much sums up what market automation does, though briefly. But for a better understanding of the software you need to know a bit more.
