It lets Marketo sell seats to sales departments, which could be more lucrative than selling its core demand generation system. But I expect the sales automation vendors to take the business for themselves. Marketo is a Force.com application that works only with Salesforce.com, while Eloqua works with several CRM products.

Summary: Right On Interactive's 5Buckets connects lists from external customer management systems with many types of output vendors (email, print, fax, text message, automated voice). 5Buckets isn’t actually a demand generation system, at least according to my usual definition. Now is a good time to remedy that.

I only mention this because I’ve recently been looking at a lot of new (to me) vendors and haven’t been able to write about many of them. Optify was founded in 2008 and launched its original product, a search engine optimization (SEO) tool, about a year later. Its primary clients were then, and still remain, digital marketing agencies.

The plan is to go back to using only Salesforce.com with some cheap add-on tools for email, form submission and data quality. This changed over time: now the focus has shifted to pro-active outreach to a handful of executives, instead of targeting thousands of software developers. Smart or foolish? Background.

Summary: Social media and access for sales people were the two big trends among demand generation vendors last year. Even though this is limited to the vendors in the Guide, it's a pretty representative sample of the industry as a whole. The vendors also charged additional per-user fees for these modules.

So that’s all fine, but what industry observers really want to know is how Salesforce.com will react. One very specific reason is that B2B marketing automation vendors have always touted client counts as a competitive success metric, which encouraged them to sell to a lot of small clients to inflate that number. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Marketing automation vendors entering this market are essentially betting that they can make their systems powerful enough to be useful and easy enough for a small business to run. If the vendors fail, the business will go to consultants, ad agencies, and other service firms that do the clients’ marketing for them.
