Lead Nurturing

Chances are most of your potential leads aren't ready to convert this very moment. It takes time for them to warm up, and lead nurturing is a formal way to manage that warming process across all your channels.

Setup and Deploy

Setting up marketing automation tools often can be a little complicated. We can help point you in the right direction, be on standby for questions as needed, or handle your full setup and deployment.

Train or Outsource

Marketing automation isn't necessarily difficult, but it is new and does have a certain "technical" aura to it that can be intimidating. Velociraster understands this and can facilitate the learning process. We can train you to use the tools, or you can outsource operations and allow us to handle most of the work. We will provide cost breakdowns and transparently help you understand their sources and ways to minimize them while still achieving the results you desire.
