Marketing automation is a methodology that involves using software to automate all processes derived from a digital marketing strategy. Its purpose is to help companies execute their marketing actions in an automated manner, thus achieving greater agility and efficiency.

Currently, over 45% of companies use some form of automation tools, bringing them closer to achieving their business goals and enabling them to progressively convert leads into prospects and then into customers.

Automation is used in countless business processes; one of the most commonly used by FluxForce clients is managing requests received through forms on their websites. Many companies, particularly those providing services, receive numerous inquiries and requests for offers and quotes through forms on their websites. In most cases, they assign a team member to manually respond to these customers as part of their daily tasks. As a result, this employee spends up to a quarter of their workday on repetitive tasks, and often, many customers are left without a timely response.

Marketing automation offers an efficient solution to streamline processes, improve productivity, and provide an exceptional customer experience. In this sense, FluxForce solidifies itself as the leading marketing automation platform for companies seeking to transform their customer interactions.

The importance of automation in customer service

Customer service is a fundamental pillar in building strong and lasting relationships with consumers. Providing assistance, offering information, and personalized support at the right moment are some of the keys to successful management.

In the case at hand, related to requests received through web forms, responding manually to each customer request consumes valuable time and resources. Automating these processes will prevent the loss of crucial leads and ensure that you capture all their contact information to guide them through your sales funnel.

Companies using forms created with FluxForce on their websites replace manual processes with automated workflows to manage customer requests more efficiently.
