"With our pre-sales resources limited, the challenge was to insure that we managed and prioritized the dramatic increase in inbound prospects and leads that followed the launch of the eSpatial Free trial/Free account strategy earlier this year. We went from hundreds of leads to thousands of leads per month," said Colm Mulcahy,Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, eSpatial. "With Marketo, we have been able to automate our processes based on scoring rules we've set. As a result, we don't waste valuable sales resources on poor quality leads. This has immediately boosted the productivity of our sales team by at least 50 percent."

eSpatial's automation of incoming leads has meant that senior sales people can focus on quality prospects, and staff that were previously deployed on lead analysis now spend their time more productively, demonstrating eSpatial's software to prospective customers.
