Marketing automation for a small technology and SaaS company
For Technology and SaaS leaders with marketing technology half set up and follow-up going cold. You are in the right place.
I talk to Technology and SaaS founders who feel stuck because the website still sells the first version while sales pitches the current one. Leads come in, then sit in an inbox because follow-up is manual and the tools are half set up. Nobody can see what is actually working.
You bought marketing automation because leads were coming in. But the tool is half set up and follow-up still sits in someone's inbox. The tool matters less than the sequence it runs, and the sequence is still in your head. In a Technology and SaaS company this happens for a reason. The product has outgrown the story. The website sells the first version while sales pitches the current one. Automation cannot run on a message that has drifted. So leads go cold, and the tool gets blamed.
What this takes depends on how clearly you can describe the follow-up you already do. If your founder-led point of view is sharp, the job is smaller. You automate the first reply, the next step, and the reminder. If your product story has drifted, the job is bigger because the message has to be settled before the sequence can run. The size of the work depends on that message work, not on the software you choose. If the story is clear, the setup is not a big project.
This week, write down the five follow-up steps you already do by hand. Do not buy another tool. Do not add more channels. Then call SliiceXR and ask for Catherine. I will set up tracking so you can see which steps turn a lead into a conversation. I will automate only those steps, nothing more. Your current tools can probably do this once they are set up right. That keeps the work small and the numbers honest.
Once this is handled, you will open one screen and see what worked. Follow-up goes out on time without you remembering. Your website, your sales talk, and your automation tell the same story. You will know what the number means because you tracked it from the first reply. You spend your time on the leads that actually move.
What our customers say
"Catherine has been a core part of LifeActive Bio for the past five years. From the beginning, I was impressed by her trustworthiness, creativity, discipline, and exceptional marketing expertise. She has brought strategic thinking and original ideas to our PR, marketing, campaign strategy, channel development, and client initiatives, with a unique ability to see challenges from multiple dimensions. Catherine is one of the most professional marketing visionaries I’ve encountered, and her creativity is beyond compare. Her passion for art is reflected in the originality she brings to everything she does. Catherine is an incredibly valued member of our team."
"Catherine built my website, then rebuilt it as my consulting thesis sharpened. Each time, she turned a moving target into a brand that showcases my work. She has a gift for taking an idea I only half articulate and giving it a clear, modern, confident form. What I did not expect was how much I would enjoy the process: she is generous with her talent, quick to champion my success as if it were her own, and somewhere along the way she went from collaborator to friend. Working with Catherine is one of the easiest and happiest yeses in my business."
"Catherine and the Team at SliiceXR are excellent to work with. They took the time to understand our needs, and execute our vision. Their constant support and patience in designing and adjusting a website that works for both our customers and employees has helped transform our business."
"Catherine was instrumental in establishing our website. Of greater import, she greatly aided us in gaining market awareness and capitalizing on the market recognition we already had. Besides the website, Catherine hosted a weekly podcast wherein we shared our views and insights regarding significant developments in our industry and their short- and long-term implications for our business and our clients."
"I consider myself very fortunate to work with Catherine Oaks over the past few months. Catherine is unique in her ability to develop effective marketing strategies and a roadmap to get you there. Catherine is extremely professional and yet very personable and easy to work with. She personally goes the extra mile to work through issues that may crop up and she does not quit until a solution is found and implemented."
"I needed a website that captured me: a wicked combination of high energy, fun, and function. Catherine nailed it! LizGoodgold.com is crystal clear in its messaging and target thanks to Sliice Marketing; she bit into this project whole-heartedly and delivered.
