Abstract

A method and system for account level triggers are described. An automation management system aggregates marketing-relevant activities performed by potential customers across a variety of marketing channels. The leads are matched to marketing accounts, and alerts are sent to account managers when customized trigger conditions are met, generally indicating that a time-sensitive marketing opportunity exists or that recent marketing efforts are having no effect. Triggers can be created based on a weighted account score compiled from multiple marketing dimensions. Triggers can be set to notify account managers when the account score changes more than some programmed thresholds for value and time.
