Great strategies die without the right operations to actually execute them. That’s why Iron Horse takes a more integrated approach.

How can we help
remove operational friction?

If your marketing operations and martech aren’t helping you get discovered or get chosen, they’re failing at their jobs. 

Tell us your challenge. We'll streamline your systems and align your processes to drive the results you need.

"We can’t execute on our strategy.”

We’ll connect the dots, building the infrastructure and workflows for what you’re trying to achieve.

"We’re drowning in tasks and don’t know where to start.”

We'll identify the inefficiencies costing you most, then implement fixes that drive maximum impact.

"Our stack is not fully integrated.”

From HubSpot to Salesforce to Marketo and beyond—we build integrations to move you toward your goal. 

"We’re falling behind on the latest capabilities."

We'll show you how other organizations are succeeding and help your team get ahead with new tools and practices.

The pillars that
make marketing operations work
The era of AI is now.

If you’re not using AI to automate processes, speed up reporting and improve lead scoring, you’re getting left behind.

Strategy and ops, together.

Each should inform the other. We align your operations with your goals and ensure you have the capabilities to reach them.

Leads can’t progress without real data.

If your buyer personas aren’t connected to actionable database fields or tracked activities, your segmentation is going to waste.

Usable data is the goal.

Clean data that's inconsistently formatted still breaks processes—so we standardize to make it actionable.

How do you connect marketing to actual revenue?

We make sure you’re set up to associate activities and actions to people and people to organizations, and that the buying center is defined and affiliated to deals. Because the amount of time between an action (like attending a webinar) and a deal can stretch out to quarters, we also make sure to define nearer-term mile markers like “attended sales call,” “took demo,” and “became pipeline opportunity.” These help provide insight on what is working and to what degree while you wait for your measure of revenue impact.

How long does a martech audit take?

A martech audit usually takes from 10–12 weeks from the project kickoff to final delivery of report, roadmap and executive presentation. As we conduct interviews and conduct system reviews, we have a bi-weekly check-in call between you and the primary consultant where you will be kept up to date on the status of the project and receive key findings and Iron Horse’s inflight recommendations.

What is your perspective on Marketing and Sales alignment?

If Marketing, Sales and Customer Success are not operationally aligned they’re not aligned. We help you align your technology and business processes so you’re not just talking Marketing and Sales alignment, but actually doing it.
