Key Decision Makers

David works alongside the marketing team to refresh the company’s efforts in lead generation, brand awareness and customer engagement and also represented his company at the Robotic Marketer Marketing Workshop, alongside their Director of Marketing.

In order to build an active sales funnel for Emergys through marketing, Robotic Marketer was the strategic choice to make it happen.

Robotic Marketer directly engaged with SAP and took the time to understand the various marketing support initiatives offered to the SAP Partner community. This included important digital marketing tactics available on their platform for partners. Tactics such as email marketing campaigns and templates, social media posts, content syndication and third-party supplier’s services are available on the platform. The Robotic Marketer campaign provides partners with a marketing plan and strategy workshop supported by the SAP platform. To get started, Emergys simply registered on the SAP platform and then executed the campaign.

Before Robotic Marketer

With its marketing team predominately functioning out of Mexico, Emergys was limited in its efforts pertaining to lead generation and improving its sales funnel. While the company did engage in some marketing digitally via social media and its website, returns in terms of quality leads was incredibly poor.

Despite their best-in-the-market implementation and support services and some marketing, Emergys ‘lean’ marketing team meant that the brand was largely unknown and limited in lead generation. Improvements in the Emergys branding was necessary to align with their key strengths and to create a lead nurturing process. Therefore, as a key SAP partner, Emergys took advantage of the help of Robotic Marketer to produce a customized marketing strategy that would communicate who Emergys is and what they do effectively.

Goals and Strategy

As part of the Marketing Workshop, Robotic Marketer in collaboration with Emergys was able to determine the short-term, mid-term and long-term sales and marketing goals that needed to be achieved through the marketing strategy.

Short Term Goals (0-3 months)

• Build consistent messaging and posts on social media platforms
• Create content calendars for social media platforms
• Identify key messaging to effectively communicate to target audience

Mid Term goals (3-6 months)

• Generate leads in new market areas
• Direct marketing into SAP sales to share pipeline
• Capture industry focused customer case studies
• Capture customer testimonials to distribute on social media and online publications

Long Term Goals (12 months)

• Generate brand awareness
• Follow up with the idea that Emergys becomes very well known within the SAP client base
• Improve brand awareness and recognition within the oracle partner channel
• Prospects would look to Emergys website, content, and webinars for leadership information and insight
• 3x pipeline of Emergys’ growth

Robotic Marketer was able to take Emergys through the journey of understanding what marketing strategies needed to be in place to achieve their financial and business goals.

With plans to create an active sales funnel with shorter durations, Emergys needed to develop and define a stronger branding that would help it stand out from competition; something it previously lacked. As part of a refreshed marketing effort, Emergys key messaging needed to focus on the customer journey and social platforms needed to effectively communicate the Emergys story and value propositions.

While Emergys was known to an existing customer database, a new marketing plan was needed to become known in the industry moving forward. This plan would play a vital role in increasing the sales funnel and adding value to the lead nurturing process.

What I liked about the competitive analysis was that it identified and focused on not what they [competitors] are, but what we are and what we can offer clients as opposed to those competitors. We are using the competitor information to rebrand ourselves and go after competitive accounts”, David states.
