We are considering a move from Salesforce Marketing Cloud Automation to Hubspot. We would not move our CRM functions, just marketing automation. If you have made this move, could you share your thoughts, and the benefits/impact it has made on your org? Or should we stick with the Salesforce suite?
Chief Operations Officer
En mi experiencia lo que hace buena una u otra opción tiene que ver con: Estructura de datos requeridas, gobernanza tanto para consumo, como para suministro de datos. La alimentación o suministro de datos es fundamental, la vieja regla BEBS, sigue siendo el básico permanente, por lo tanto la metodología DAMA es una buena práctica, o cualquier otra que evite que los datos sean vulnerables o corrompidos, su un CRM sirve para tomar decisiones, por qué abría campos vacíos, por qué no invertir tiempo en entrenar a los equipos para que llenen los datos de acuerdo a una política robusta. Cuando escucho que lo importante es vender, y qué por eso no registraron datos, pienso ¿Qué mayor prisa que la de tener datos confiables?
