You have probably seen them in action, but didn’t realize it. If you have ever filled out a form on a website then went to your email and wham, the information you requested was already there waiting for you. You encountered a marketing system at work.

If you find yourself repeating the same task several times a day, week or month like:

searching for customer information- searching through stacks of invoices or file cabinets can hog lots of time sending out announcements- stop losing sleep wondering if the right customers got the right announcement tracking sales ect. - do you know how many steps between a call and the sale for all your products

These are the kind of important non-revenue generating task marketing systems excel at doing, for you.
