Route is not a regular email marketing tool nor a CRM, it’s a tool for marketers and sales people to help them qualify leads along the marketing and sales funnel until they become clients.
What Route does?
Route is a Marketing Automation software that will let you send automated emails based on static lists or dynamic lists that are always changing based on user behavior and characteristics.
If you want you can skip this intro to Route and just see how it works.
What can I do with Route?
You’ll be able to create Broadcasts or Automations.
If you decide to go with Automations you can create transactional automations or behavioral automations.
Is Route the right tool for me?
We know that no technology can be viewed as “the right one” for every business. It all depends what the company choosing a tool needs and wants to accomplish with it.
That said, there’re a few cases you might not think we are the tool you need:
- If you ONLY want to import lists and send newsletters, you’ll find on the market other tools that specialize only on this;
- If you ONLY need a CRM to empower your sales team or your organization sales efforts, there are other services that will probably offer more than we can;
- If you DON’T have a Lead Generation strategy in place and don’t think you’ll start it soon, Route won’t work for you. As Route needs you to collect contact data to make things happen, with no contacts, no success and no value;
But if you want to take your marketing and sales efforts to another level, automate things and engage with leads and customer more efficiently, Route is for you.
If you want to be part of smart companies that are using Marketing Automation to increase their revenue, Route is for you.
If you’re a company that wants to engage with leads and clients by sending them the right content at the right time, Route is for you.
