GLOSSARY

What is marketing automation?

Marketing automation is software that runs repetitive marketing tasks on their own, such as sending follow up emails, scoring leads, and routing them, based on rules and triggers you set once. The point is to reach people at the right moment without a person doing every step by hand.

Typical uses include a welcome sequence after someone signs up, a reminder when a lead goes quiet, scoring leads as they engage, and passing hot ones to sales. The system watches for a trigger and acts on it automatically.

Automation applies the rules you give it consistently and instantly, which is its strength and its risk. It cannot supply strategy or an ideal customer profile you never defined; it will only scale whatever logic you put in.

For a small team, the biggest early win is usually speed and follow up: reaching a new lead within minutes and never letting one slip because someone was busy.
