Sound familiar?

Are good leads going cold?

Leads usually go cold because follow-up depends on memory. Common signs:

What we hear from teams
  • Sales calls every lead the same way, even people who only downloaded a brochure.
  • Leads who are not ready today are forgotten. Six months later they buy from someone else.
  • You do not know which leads visited your pricing page or opened three emails this week.
  • Marketing and sales argue about lead quality, with no shared score.
  • You cannot see which campaign or channel brought the deal.
Quick answer

What is Zoho Marketing Automation?

Set up by a Zoho Advanced Partner

Zoho Marketing Automation is Zoho's software to attract, track, nurture and score leads across channels.

  • It tracks what each lead does — email opens, clicks, website visits, form fills — and uses that to send the next right message and to score the lead.
  • It works with email, SMS, WhatsApp and social media, and it syncs with Zoho CRM.
  • If you need lead nurturing software in India, it keeps leads warm until sales is ready to call.

Zoho Campaigns vs Zoho Marketing Automation: what is the difference?

Zoho Campaigns is for sending email (and SMS) campaigns to lists, with simple workflows. Zoho Marketing Automation works at the level of each lead: it watches behaviour, scores leads and runs long journeys with branches ("if they clicked, do this; if not, do that") across channels.
