Project History
Lead Automation Project
Increased sales conversion to 40% annually by building automation following a drip campaign for a B2B client while funneling leads from Google Ads and website contact forms.
I created an integrated engagement program using multiple landing pages, emails, and forms from the corporate website. The prospects successfully flowed through Google Ads and contact forms into the system. Then, I analyzed their current status within the system and sent them to various paths. I received automated emails to keep them engaged. Finally, I assigned them via CRM to their lead and contact owner, encouraging them to respond to them as soon as possible with automated reminders.
Redesigning and Building the Marketing Automation Engagement Ecosystem
Redesigned and launched the first customer lifecycle journey for Alberta Motor Association.
I contributed to building data process modeling for the engagement ecosystem while managing projects for transactional email and marketing email automation processes.
