Insightly Survey Reveals Marketing Automation Helps B2B Marketers Improve Customer Journey and Increase Revenue


News Image

In the past year, the number of customers who have adopted our platform, including Insightly Marketing, has increased 66 percent, demonstrating the importance of better managing and automating customer journeys.

Today, Insightly, the modern, affordable CRM teams love, is revealing new insights to help B2B marketers take advantage of current trends in automation tools and improve their bottom line. A recent survey of nearly 200 B2B marketing leaders found that five out of 10 say that optimization of their overall automation strategy will be a primary goal this year, a sign that this trend continues to grow.

Creating a top-notch customer experience is top-of-mind for nearly every business and marketing automation helps make this process significantly more effective for B2B marketers. An overwhelming majority – 87 percent of those surveyed – said they now have some or all of their customer journeys fully automated. However, only 27 percent agree their marketing tools are optimized to better engage with customers, so there is still room for improvement.

“Companies continue to invest in strategic customer engagement tactics even as many are slashing budgets during this turbulent time,” said Anthony Smith, founder and CEO of Insightly. “In the past year, the number of customers who have adopted our platform, including Insightly Marketing, has increased 66 percent, demonstrating the importance of better managing and automating customer journeys. It drives efficiency and growth for companies of all sizes, helping them better navigate the current volatility and prepare for a more stable economy, too.”

Additional survey findings include:

  • -Email marketing is still king, with 62 percent of respondents saying they use that feature in their marketing automation platform.
  • -Seventy percent of respondents are increasing their spend for marketing automation this year.
  • -Areas that utilize marketing automation the most are: Email marketing, social media, content management, paid ads, and landing pages.

Insightly Marketing is the marketing automation application available in its modern CRM platform. The April 2023 product release included several key updates:

  • -Campaign UTM tracking: Every marketer needs to demonstrate the effectiveness and impact of their campaigns. By adding UTM tracking to a URL that is part of a marketing campaign, marketers can now track the specific source, medium, and campaign that brought a lead or contact to their website.
  • -Prospect tracking in emails: To help marketers track and measure the content that is most compelling to their audiences, Insightly can now identify and take actions on any prospect whenever they click links in emails, including links to videos or social posts.
  • -Transactional email sending: Administrators can now enable transaction emails and communicate with timely and relevant information to customers about their account, passwords, invoicing, shipping, and more.
  • -Batch Email Sending: Insightly now can be set to send bulk emails in batches for larger lists so that customers can have them sent out over a longer period of time, which can also be beneficial to email deliverability.


“Insightly Marketing has allowed us to get very specific in our approach and outreach process for customers, and it’s all dependent on their interests,” said Miles Reynolds, CEO of Sport Court Las Vegas. “Everything is very strategic with our marketing because we can now stay in front of customers with content that really matters to them and as a result, have grown 242 percent.”

Powercast Creates Wireless, Batteryless Keyboard Powered Over the Air to Demo RF Power as Simpler Solution than Qi Used in YouTube Wireless Keyboard Experiment


Powercast's new low-cost Ubiquity RF wireless transmitter

Powercast’s Ubiquity over-the-air RF wireless power transmitter automatically charges multiple RF-enabled devices in its charging zone for convenient, contactless, ‘set and forget’ wireless charging.

“We agree with Linus throwing down the gauntlet, challenging keyboard manufacturers why ‘wireless’ keyboards still need a wire to charge their batteries,” said Charles Greene, Ph.D., COO and CTO of Powercast.

Powercast Corporation, the leader in radio-frequency (RF)-based over-the-air wireless power technology, has created a truly wireless and batteryless keyboard that can be powered over the air, shown in Episode #11 of the “Powered by Powercast” video series, to demonstrate RF power as a simpler, longer-distance wireless solution than Qi which popular YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips used in their experimental wireless keyboard.

“We agree with Linus throwing down the gauntlet, challenging keyboard manufacturers why ‘wireless’ keyboards still need a wire to charge their batteries,” said Charles Greene, Ph.D., COO and CTO of Powercast. “Wireless technologies exist that can be embedded to enable truly wireless, untethered keyboards. Linus chose to experiment with Qi inductive charging, a good choice for power-hungry devices like phones, but Qi is restrictive because the device must actually touch the charger with the transmitting and receiving coils aligning only millimeters apart.”

Greene continued, “On the other hand, contactless, set-and-forget, over-the-air RF charging can be used for low-power devices such as keyboards and mice, TV remotes, electric toothbrushes, headphones, smart watches and more. RF charging allows freedom of device placement and one-to-many charging, meaning one RF transmitter can automatically charge many enabled devices in its charging zone.”

RF wireless power works differently from Qi. Powercast’s transmitter sends RF over the air, and its tiny receiver chip embedded in devices can harvest that RF from up to 120 feet away in ultra-low-power devices such as IoT sensors, and at shorter ranges for more power-hungry devices. The receiver then converts the RF into DC (direct current) to either recharge batteries, or directly power battery-free devices, both of which eliminate disposable battery e-waste and battery replacement hassles.

Powercast’s experiment involved embedding inexpensive components that would cost about $1, including the company’s tiny Powerharvester® PCC110 receiver chip and a small antenna, into an existing battery-powered keyboard and mouse. The keyboard and mouse could then move anywhere on the desk and Powercast’s Ubiquity RF transmitter was able to recharge their batteries over the air. Taking it a step further, Powercast removed the keyboard’s batteries, creating the first battery-free RF-powered keyboard to demonstrate how RF can directly power a battery-free device.

Powercast is also in discussions with manufacturers evaluating embedding the electronic core of the company’s new cost-reduced Ubiquity RF transmitter into their own products for about $5. Powercast announced at CES 2023 it is sharing its Ubiquity design to allow manufacturers to easily, inexpensively embed RF transmitting into their products such as computer monitors, home appliances, TVs or smart speakers, turning them into RF transmitters able to charge RF device ecosystems. In addition to Ubiquity’s $5 electronic core, manufacturers will add their own antenna and power supply.

“To unclutter the desk further and remove the need for our standalone Ubiquity transmitter, the Ubiquity design could easily be integrated into the computer monitor on the desk, making it the RF transmitter able to charge nearby enabled devices,” said Greene. “Our vision is to enable truly wireless, clean workspaces by working with manufacturers to inexpensively incorporate RF transmitting and receiving capability into their own products to create RF charging ecosystems and accelerate RF transmitter networks throughout homes.”

Ubiquity transmitter specs: FCC approved 1W (3W EIRP) 915 MHz transmitter with 5V plug and low energy costs ($3-$4 per year).

About Powercast

Powercast is the established leader in RF wireless power-over-distance solutions. Since its founding in 2003, Powercast has led the industry in RF wireless power innovations that meet FCC and other global standards. Powercast’s technologies eliminate or reduce the need for wires and batteries, working at distances of 120 feet. The company’s collaborative approach and expertise in all aspects of product design, from vision through prototyping and commercialization, has resulted in dozens of applications, extensive commercial success in both industrial and consumer applications, and over 10 million units shipped. With more than 100 customers and partner companies globally, Powercast leads the RF wireless power market with 91 early and fundamental patents worldwide and 21 patents pending. https://www.powercastco.com/

In the 2023 Partner Program Guide, vendors were evaluated based on program requirements and offerings such as partner training and education, pre- and post-sales support, marketing programs and resources, technical support, and communication.

Binary Defense is on a mission to make the world a safer place and offers comprehensive, industry-recognized managed detection and response that leverages an open XDR strategy to monitor endpoint, network, cloud, and other log sources to supply high-fidelity threat detections. When paired with its advanced Threat Hunting, Digital Risk Protection, and Incident Response services, the company offers a comprehensive enterprise defense portfolio.

In early 2023, Binary Defense relaunched its Shield Partner Program which is designed to help increase growth and engagement across the partner ecosystem by offering the tools and training needed to provide best-in-class cybersecurity solutions to their clients. The Shield Partner Program provides partners with pricing incentives, marketing resources, sales support, and post-sales support to increase their revenue and margins.

The Shield Partner Program focuses on the enablement available for partners, including training and supporting documents to assist partners through the entire lifecycle of client sales. Demand generation is another key focus that is provided through a variety of sales plays that accelerate customer engagement, increase deal registration incentives, and help build the sales pipeline. This partner support is available in addition to premium 24/7 post-sales support and resources, enabling trusted advisor relationships for Binary Defense customers.

“At Binary Defense, we believe that the right partner is the best defense, and we understand the critical role that our resellers play in our success. We are committed to providing the support and resources needed to excel through our Shield Partner Program,” says Bob Meindl, Binary Defense CEO. “The CRN recognition reflects our dedication to our partners, and we are honored to be part of the 2023 Partner Program Guide. We will continue to work tirelessly to deliver exceptional service and innovative solutions to our partners, helping them to achieve their goals and protect their clients from cyberattacks.”
