What companies are you seeing use this? The reason I ask is we employ a marketing company for our hosted VoIP that uses what they describe as a "pipeline" and they reach out, using LinkedIn I think mostly as a resource" in a series of emails. I would hope they aren't aggressive and would remove anyone that asked not to be contacted. I believe the automation behind this is HubSpot. I have someone working with the marketing company on messaging. By the description of the process I think all the emails have to be manually input and put in some kind of order for this pipeline thing to work.
My understanding is for us they have 2 streams or pipelines. One is for a "yeah I am interested" response. The other is for "No thanks" responses. We use a company called Pacific Marketing (I think). I don't know if they pretend to be us or not. I would be really interested in hearing more detailed attitudes about this. My people tell me it is working really well and there are closed deals to prove it is working to some extent but I don't really want to make people angry.
