Customer Experience Matrix

NOVEMBER 19, 2008

So far the original list of Eloqua , Vtrenz , Marketo , Manticore Technology and Market2Lead has proven a good set of choices. After a close analysis of the alternatives, I have decided the Alexa.com traffic statistics are the best indicator of vendor market presence. Yet there are so many more vendors I could add. How to choose?

The paper, from Manticore Technology , recommends five best practices for business marketing: (1) define a unified marketing and sales pipeline; (2) deploy an integrated marketing and sales platform; (3) measure pipeline activity; (4) automate lead nurturing; and (5) focus on the top of the funnel.

I do recognize that they are the best known vendors in the space (with apologies to Vtrenz , whose identity is somewhat blurred since its purchase by Silverpop ). But what really concerns me is that these people are apparently limiting their consideration to just those two products.

The best you can usually hope for is that the information will be accurate and relevant, even if not objective or complete. The Vtrenz series is long for this sort of thing: three 16-page papers, one each on nurturing, growing and retaining customers. A sly joke, perhaps? But a few points caught my eye. Fair enough.

I would put the lead management automation crop here: Eloqua, Loopfuse, Manticore Technologies, Market2Lead, Marketo, and Vtrenz. Or disagree with the list…) On the other side, I see solutions more oriented toward marketing and enabling a “pull” model, one focused on letting prospects engage at their own pace.

Maybe it’s not a question at all: every application presents them, and every marketer asks for them, usually in terms of “best practices”. The question here is whether most demand generation systems ( Eloqua , Vtrenz , Marketo , Market2Lead , Manticore , etc.) The question here is simply whether standard metrics make sense.

Over the past few months, I’ve had conversations with “demand generation” software vendors including Eloqua , Vtrenz and Manticore , and been on the receiving end of a drip marketing stream from yet another (Moonray Marketing, lately renamed OfficeAutoPilot ). However, those analytics are not yet in place.
