Read: The Anatomy of a winI stumbled upon Constant Contact Lead Gen and CRM (formerly known as SharpSpring) about 6 years ago while using another popular platform. I liked it so much I switched. I started showing it to all my clients and everyone signed up. Today I am a reseller and want to get you up and running on your own fully featured Marketing Automation Platform that I will customize specifically for your business development goals. I all it the Ad Agency Marketing Automation Platform. Together we define your BD strategy and then I configure your Constant Contact Lead Gen and CRM just for you. No capital investment. No steep learning curve. None of the frustration, confusion, and dissension that typically comes with the other systems.
What makes this offer unique is that it comes with my 20 plus years doing ad agency new business AND hands-on experience setting up and using the platform exclusively for ad agency business development. Other systems come with generic user functions and settings configured for the lowest common denominator. I make sure your system is configured just right for you and your team, and everyone who uses it gets trained on the things they need to know to make it work for them. In addition, I coach your BD people along so that everyone is comfortable, confident, and excited – an invaluable tool for the agency. SharpSpring includes just the right functions that are invaluable in today's marketplace and integrates them seamlessly into an intuitive, easy-to-use tool. That's my Ad Agency Marketing Automation Platform.

3 essential business development tools that I use every day to find new clients for my agencies
Marketing automation for business development and why I won't start my day without it
Do names like Salesforce, Hubspot, Marketo, make you tremble? I used most of the top names doing ad agency business development. Every agency subscribed to one CRM or another MAP systems or other similar tools. I invested way too much time and money to learn each one hoping to achieve the spectacular results they all claim. However, each time I came to realize these systems weren’t designed for me or ad agency business development. They were made for big enterprises with hundreds or thousands of users slogging their way through overcomplicated sales processes. Each time I felt like I had to reprogram the missile defense system just to accomplish a few simple tasks. I was frustrated and unmotivated because I couldn’t get the things to work well enough to make it worthwhile. So each time I ended up back to my spreadsheets vowing never to leave again – until I met SharpSpring.
I talk with many agencies, and one common concern is the learning curve of a new system. Some have spent obscene amounts of time and money on a CRM or MAP and got nothing out of it. Statistically speaking, almost 64% of companies fail to adopt a marketing automation platform. A recent Econsultancy study found that 37% of users say their marketing automation efforts are not at all successful. The Ad Agency Platform has lots of built-in help like page-relevant help menus full of video tutorials, documentation, community forums, and other support to make sure questions are answered immediately.
I looked at the data to understand why so many companies fail to adopt their system. The primary reasons are the learning curve, poor UX, counterintuitive processes, and a general fear of change. That is why my approach is better. When you subscribe I make sure your people get trained, get over any fears, and have the confidence to use the platform, so your investment will be worthwhile. This platform has an awesome UX and agency-intuitive processes. Should anyone get stuck, I'm on call for whatever questions arise, or if something doesn't seem to work right, or the steps aren't obvious. If I don't have the answers, I've got a great team of operations and technical support behind me - unlimited free support.
As an ad agency business development consultant I know the pressure to make every minute count, the anxiety of getting it all done, and the frustration of being sidetracked by things outside the job requirements like learning a new process. That is why I believe having someone with my experience to train you on this platform is the best of both worlds. I've already vetted it. I know how to make it synchronize with how you think and how you work. I know how to get the speed and effectiveness it promises to allow you to put your energy and intellect toward the real challenges of agency growth. With robust sales pipeline functionality shown below you can see and report where your prospects are in the pipeline, determine the best next steps to move them forward, and draw on data to better forecast revenue for the future.
Think about it. As your prospects grow in their career, they take on more responsibilities, sit on bigger budgets, move to larger companies, gain greater authority and autonomy to hire you. If they are stuck in a row and column somewhere buried in a spreadsheet along with hundreds of others you can’t track their progress, see their growth, and develop strategies to engage, reconnect, and win them as a client. You probably forget about them after some initial contact. With this platform, you'll get reminders, see contact and engagement history at a glance in the Life of the Lead timeline, get automated alerts when they visit your website or open on your email. You'll see when they engage with your social post or download a video. You'll be able to move them through their journey strategically and your funnel to get the highest value both short- and long-term.
In my Ad Agency Prospecting Platform you keep every prospect neatly organized, prioritized, and easy to recognize at a glance. Automated lead scoring keeps your highest priority prospects at the top of the list. In the set up we configure your prospect profile pages to display just the right information you need, for example, social media accounts, offline engagement like mailers, original lead source, relationships with agency people or partners, anything you want displayed to improve your chances for success. Almost every part of SharpSpring can be customized and individualized making it one of the most flexible platforms on the market.
This platform is dynamic, infinitely sortable, highly visible, and grows along with your agency as an increasing collection of possible revenue opportunity. A spreadsheet sits by itself idle waiting for you to open it up. SharpSpring sits at the center of insights, actions, and activities, manual and automated, recharging with new data, deploying new tactics, and realizing new possibilities.

Schedule A CallStill not convinced?
I’ve been doing business development at a variety of different agencies for over 15 years. During that time I used many different tools on from Excel to Salesforce. More recently I've been doing business development consulting with many kinds of agencies. I stumbled upon SharpSpring a couple of years ago and immediately felt it was designed for Me. I’ve been a big fan ever since and use it with all of my agency clients to execute better faster ad agency business development. Let's get on a call, and you can hear first hand why I use it, ask questions, and make a better-informed decision. If you are curious about what I do, click on the picture below of my website and take a look.
Talk about power, this platform is rightfully described as a marketing automation platform. It fully integrates a CRM function, an email platform, a website visitor identification feature, automation engines, sales pipeline management, social media integration, e-commerce front end, reporting and analytics tools, and much more, all interconnected to provide a complete picture of your prospects, your prospecting, and your profit potential. With SharpSpring, you begin with a lead in the database and manage it through the entire sales journey to close.
You may currently be using one of the best CRM, database, or marketing tools on the market. I mean no disrespect to any of them. What I found and bet you will too, none of them feel like they are designed for what I want to do in my day-to-day business development activities, my processes, and sales strategies. All the others that I’ve used felt like they were built for some other company and to make them work I’d have to make a few compromises, a couple of feature sacrifices, and endure much time-consuming training. For me, the top sellers offer too much horsepower, are too complicated to be intuitive, and too clumsy to figure out how to get the value out of a very expensive price tag.
How to get real value from your marketing automation
