While some other system provide this, many marketing automation vendors rely on third-party products instead. sequential campaign flows with conditional actions in each step and “early exit” conditions that can remove leads from the flow at any step. In reality, Act-On actually does store the leads in a traditional database.

Prospect Profiler’s claim to fame, so near as I can tell, is that it also presents summaries and trends of the prospect activity, per this very nice screenshot from Eloqua: I don’t recall the other vendors doing that. These are already assembled by various vendors, so all that’s needed is a relatively simple integration.

At my previous company my success was measured by number of leads. If the total lead count was high, I was awesome. If I was short of my lead goal, I had some explaining to do. More leads equals more won deals. The problem with this kind of mindset is that more leads does not equal more deals. Makes sense, right?

It combines this with standard B2B marketing automation features to provide better-qualified leads to sales people. Of course, if you’re a vendor offering a cool new technology, the stakes are higher. It adds some less typical features for telephone lead qualification, which makes sense for reasons we’ll get to later.
