Marketing Automation That Closes the Loop on Revenue
Lead scoring, nurture sequences, campaign attribution, and lead handoff — built directly on top of your CRM. We are CRM consultants first, which is why our automation actually moves deals to closed-won instead of just opens and clicks.
Marketing automation is only as good as the CRM beneath it.
If your contacts are duplicated, your lifecycle stages are inconsistent, and your sales process is not mapped in your CRM, then automating on top of it just speeds up the chaos. That is why we always start with the CRM. If your CRM is not in good shape, we will tell you that during the discovery call — and we will recommend a CRM Cleanup or CRM Implementation first.
What Marketing Automation Actually Means
Marketing automation is not a tool. It is a system of rules, sequences, and triggers that move people from "interested" to "customer" without your team having to remember every follow-up. Done well, it scales your sales motion. Done poorly, it spams your list and erodes trust.
For most growing Canadian businesses, automation lives inside the CRM — HubSpot, Salesforce, or Zoho — not in a separate marketing tool. That is intentional. When automation lives in the same system as your deals, your reps see the full context, marketing sees what closes, and leadership sees the actual ROI of every campaign.
We design and build that system. The lead scoring model that surfaces the right leads. The nurture sequences that keep deals warm between conversations. The attribution that finally answers "which campaigns made us money?" And the handoff workflows that stop leads from falling through the cracks between marketing and sales.
The Four Pillars of Marketing Automation
We build automation around four foundational systems. Most engagements include all four. Some clients only need one or two.
Lead Scoring
A fit-and-engagement model that surfaces the right leads at the right time. Demographics, firmographics, page visits, email engagement, and intent signals — weighted by what actually correlates with closed deals in your business.
Email Nurture Sequences
Multi-step, branching email flows that warm leads between calls. Educational content, social proof, objection handling, and re-engagement — all triggered by behaviour and timed around your sales cycle.
Campaign Attribution
First-touch, last-touch, and multi-touch models that answer "which campaigns drove revenue?" UTM strategy, deal source tracking, and dashboards that connect marketing spend to closed-won.
Lead Handoff Workflows
Automated lead routing, ownership rules, SLA enforcement, and stage transitions. Marketing-qualified leads land on the right rep within minutes — not days — with full context.
Why Most Marketing Automation Fails
We have rebuilt automation for plenty of teams who tried to set it up themselves. The mistakes are predictable.
Automation built on a broken CRM
Lifecycle stages are inconsistent, contacts are duplicated, lead sources are missing. Automation built on this foundation just amplifies the noise. Fix the CRM first, then automate.
Volume over relevance
Sending more emails to more contacts is not a strategy. Tight segmentation, behaviour-based triggers, and ruthless list hygiene beat blast emails every time.
No scoring threshold for handoff
Leads either go to sales the moment they fill a form (too early, low close rate) or never (lost in the funnel). A scored handoff threshold solves both problems.
No attribution model
Marketing reports clicks. Sales reports closed deals. Nobody connects the two. Without attribution, every campaign decision is a guess.
No re-engagement plan
Most leads are not ready when they first opt in. If you do not have a re-engagement workflow that brings them back at the right moment, you lose 60-80 percent of your pipeline by default.
Set and forget
Automation is not a one-time build. Sequences need to be tested, scoring needs to be tuned, and workflows need to evolve as the business does. Without ongoing review, automation rots.
What Is Included
A typical marketing automation engagement covers the full system from data into deals.
Lead Scoring Model
Fit and engagement scoring tied to your ideal customer profile, with thresholds for marketing-qualified and sales-qualified leads. Built natively in HubSpot, Salesforce, or Zoho.
Nurture Sequences
Three to five core sequences: welcome, educational nurture, sales-assist, re-engagement, and customer onboarding. Each fully written, segmented, and tested before launch.
Routing & Handoff Workflows
Lead assignment by territory, account size, or product interest. SLA timers, escalation paths, and notifications so MQL handoff happens in minutes, not days.
Attribution Setup
UTM strategy, source tracking, attribution model selection, and reporting dashboards. We close the loop between marketing and revenue once and for all.
Email Templates & Sequences
Sales-assist email templates and meeting booking flows for reps. Every touchpoint branded, tested for deliverability, and tracked.
Segmentation & Lists
Smart list architecture, suppression rules, and re-engagement segments. Your list stays clean and your sender reputation stays high.
Our Process
Three phases. Same methodology we use for every CRM project, applied to the automation layer.
CRM Health Check & Strategy (Week 1)
We audit your CRM data, review your existing automation, and map your funnel from first touch to closed-won. If the CRM foundation is not solid, we flag it before we build. You receive a written automation strategy with prioritized workflows and KPIs.
Build (Week 2-3)
We build the lead scoring model, write and configure the nurture sequences, set up routing and SLA workflows, and wire up attribution reporting. Everything is tested with real contact data before it goes live.
Launch & Tune (Week 3-4)
We go live with sales and marketing aligned on the new playbook. For the first two weeks, we monitor scoring accuracy, sequence performance, and handoff timing — then tune based on real data. Documentation and admin training included.
Timeline and Investment
Fixed pricing. No hourly billing. Scope confirmed in writing before we start.
2 to 4 Weeks
From discovery to live workflows. Most teams have a working scoring model and at least one nurture sequence by the end of week two.
From $1,500 CAD
Single-pillar engagements (e.g., scoring only) start at $1,500. Full four-pillar builds typically range $3,500 to $9,000, all fixed-priced.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a CRM in place before we start?
Yes. Marketing automation only works on a properly configured CRM. If your CRM is not implemented or has serious data issues, we will recommend a CRM Cleanup or Implementation first — otherwise the automation will inherit and amplify those problems.
What CRMs do you build automation in?
HubSpot, Salesforce, and Zoho. HubSpot is where most of our automation work lives because the platform is purpose-built for it. Salesforce automation usually involves Pardot, Marketing Cloud, or Account Engagement. Zoho automation runs through Zoho Marketing Automation or CRM workflows.
How is this different from hiring a marketing agency?
A traditional marketing agency runs campaigns. We build the system underneath the campaigns — the scoring, sequences, attribution, and handoff workflows that turn campaigns into closed deals. We work alongside your existing agency or in-house marketing team, not as a replacement.
Do you write the email copy?
Yes. Email copy for nurture sequences and sales templates is included. We work with your subject matter experts to capture voice and positioning, then write, format, and test every email before launch.
What about ad campaigns and SEO?
We do not run paid media or SEO campaigns ourselves. We build the infrastructure that makes those campaigns measurable: UTM strategy, attribution, conversion tracking, and lead routing. Our work makes your existing marketing investment substantially more measurable and easier to optimize.
How quickly do you see results?
Operational results (faster lead handoff, higher engagement rates) usually start to show in the first month. Revenue impact (higher conversion to closed-won) typically becomes visible over the following quarter as the scoring model and sequences accumulate data and the sales cycle plays out.
Is this a substitute for hiring a marketer?
No. We build the automation system. Someone in your business still needs to plan campaigns, create content, and review performance. We can recommend marketers and content partners we trust if you do not have those resources in-house.
