Is Your Marketing and Sales Technology Holding Your Business Back?

Technology is a fundamental element for any business. It enables the creation of a single source of truth, the ability to report on the effectiveness of your marketing and sales activities and measure KPIs across the business. Whether your business has a mature tech stack or you’re working out of spreadsheets, this technology is at the core of your business. 

Too often though, businesses adopt technology in a fragmented way, meaning there is a disconnect between different areas of the business, teams aren’t working from the same data, and it becomes hard to understand what, if anything, your data is telling you.

Which Technologies Make Up Your Tech Stack?

Any technology that can impact your customers’ journeys, influence revenue generation, or forms part of your teams’ daily workflows need to be considered as part of your tech stack. For most businesses this would include:

  • CRM
  • CMS
  • Marketing Automation
  • Sales outreach
  • Data enrichment
  • Customer Service desk
  • Social media platforms
  • Accounts and finance packages
  • Cloud storage
  • Knowledge bases
  • Reports and analytics tools
  • Telephony systems
  • Video conferencing
  • Events and webinars
  • iPaas solutions
  • Ad platforms
  • Collaborations and Productivity tools
  • Email Service Providers (ESP)
  • Enterprise Resource Planning systems (ERP)

    And much more besides...

Each of these elements can hold, produce and share data on your customers and prospects. You can therefore think of your tech stack as being a collection of tools and platforms that collectively paint a picture of your customers’ journey from end-to-end.

Technology Can Add Friction as Well as Force, to Your Operations

Technology acquisitions don’t always happen the way we want them to. Whether tools are brought in by different stakeholders across the organisation, or just acquired at different times, the decision-making process is often approached in a siloed way.

Tools are assessed for a narrow purpose and the wider organisational structure and flow of data across the business is not considered. As a result, you may have ended up choosing a best-in-class CRM five years ago and an ESP two years ago, that are on paper the best in the fields. However, they’re not integrated and there are no processes in place to enable the flow of data between these two platforms.

The impact of this is the introduction of friction within your business and not just for your internal teams. Internally, your teams don’t see a single source of truth and may be spending time manually exporting and importing data. This is a major time and resource drain that is stopping your teams from doing what you hired them to do. Externally, your customers will also experience friction because they will expect the messaging they receive from your business to be aligned and instead they receive disjointed communications between Sales and Marketing with no personalisation, poor timing and a lack of understanding as to where the customer is in the buying journey.

This is unnecessary friction that can slow down the sales cycle and reduce conversion rates in within your pipeline.

How Do We Avoid Technology and Data Silos?

HubSpot Technology

At the core of your tech stack, you need a powerful CRM that can connect seamlessly with your other tools and platforms. We believe that this is a foundational element to get in place as it enables a single source of truth by becoming your master record and the single place for teams across the organisation to work from.

For this to be true, you need to choose a CRM that covers Marketing, Sales and Service as these top-level categories will cover the toolsets required to cover the entire customer journey.

Although there are CRM systems that are considered best-in-class for sales and marketing automation platforms that lead the market, in our experience, there is only one platform that provides an all-in-one solution capable of scaling with your business while offering tools across your entire organisation. This is why Innovation Visual is proud to be a HubSpot Platinum partner.

How to Fix Your Tech Stack

Ready to untangle your technology chaos?

Our three-step approach transforms disjointed systems and data silos into a streamlined ecosystem that drives real results. Let's turn your complex tech environment into a powerful growth engine that works with your teams, not against them.

1.

Audit Your Existing Tech Stack

To understand the state of your current technology, you need an audit of the existing tech stack. That means more than simply listing which tools are in play and instead mapping out how data flows across the business, where there is friction in your systems and processes and which tools and platforms can be replaced or consolidated.

At Innovation Visual, we are experts when it comes to auditing tech stacks. We understand that it is the interaction between people and technology that impacts how effective the technology is. We focus on how to deliver value to your business by uncovering the potential within your data and your technology.

2.

Align Your Systems Through Integrations, Platform Consolidations and Migrations

Once an audit has been performed, we will have a proposed roadmap of how data should flow across the organisation. Now it’s time to implement this roadmap by building integrations between key platforms, consolidating platforms that offer duplicate or redundant functionality and migrating your data to break down silos.

3.

Refine Your Processes

Finally, even a well-designed, highly integrated tech stack will cause friction within your business if it doesn’t align with existing processes. This is where the interaction between people and technology comes in. By refining processes and SLAs, you can ensure that your technology is being used to its fullest and you are seeing an ROI from your software spend. Adoption of technology is fundamental when it comes to success, which is why we offer training across your entire organisation as part of any technology implementation or onboarding.
