From MAP to Real-Time, Two-Way Interactions: Close the Conversation Gap with Embedded AI

On their own, Marketing Automation Platforms are one-way communication tools. They can talk at your audience, but they leave much to be desired in moving leads through the funnel. It’s the difference between an announcement over a PA in a store and a one-on-one conversation with a customer browsing the shelves about their needs and wants. If you’ve only got the megaphone, you’re missing the ability to engage the buyer on their terms.

Even if they target a specific segment interested in a certain topic, MAPs don’t provide opportunities for two-way conversations. And unfortunately, enticing leads to being ready to buy takes more than a few impersonal one-way comms.

The gap between leads’ vague interest and being Sales-ready is the Conversation Gap. And we know how to close it.

Top Use Cases for MAP + Conversational AI

With an RDA, routine marketing activities are transformed.

When leads are followed up with quickly, they convert more. When plugged into your MAP, an RDA can immediately start a conversation as soon as a lead shows interest. By tailoring comms with the data from your MAP and CRM, your audience gets personalized, specific information that speaks to their interests, enticing them to convert.

When leads are properly qualified, they convert better. With the powerful combo of an RDA and your MAP, you can more easily and confidently qualify your leads. Depending on the scoring or activity rules you set, an RDA can immediately flag qualified leads to Sales and give the team all the info learned from its conversations. This ensures quick follow-ups on leads that are truly Sales-ready.

When leads are continuously nurtured, more buyers get surfaced. No matter what you do, some leads just won’t be ready to buy immediately. Rather than set your MAP or Sales team on a wild goose chase, an RDA can continuously nurture leads no matter where they are in their lifecycle, routinely sending out feelers to wake up dormant leads. And as soon as one’s ready, your RDA can resume the conversation.
