Time and resources are the biggest reasons for failing with Marketing Automation and CRM implementations
But you don't need to be a technical wizard or hire a full-time resource to use Marketing Automation and CRM software.
Marketing Automation and CRM still feels complex and difficult to grasp for most marketers and sales managers. Too many spend too much time on implementation projects without seeing return on their investment.
That's why we started FunnelBud in 2015.

Who are we and why should you trust us?
Hi! I'm Yusuf Young, FunnelBud's founder.
My marketing career started at a small enterprise software vendor, where I simply wanted to generate more leads to myself and the rest of the sales team.
During my free time after work (and with the CEO's permission), I went ahead and experimented with various internet based marketing strategies. At some time, I stumbled across what was then the most popular Marketing Automation and CRM software, Hubspot. In just 2 years, we went from just a few hundred monthly website visitors to over 6,000. At the end of the this journey, we were getting over 50 good leads every month, with an average deal value of tens of thousands of dollars. We closed deals for several hundreds of thousands of dollars per year from this our Inbound Marketing initiative.
This fed my desire to help other businesses accomplish the same results. So I became a Marketing Automation consultant, primarily working with the then popular solutions Hubspot, Pardot and Salesforce.
It was during this time that I discovered an unsettling but very common situation. Most businesses who had purchased these solutions were throwing money in the bin! They barely used the systems, and were not getting any results. In fact, that's why they wanted to hire a consultant like me, to fix it!

Turns out, most companies drastically underestimate the amount of time and resources it will take to become successful with a Marketing Automation implementation that generates leads and sales. (But it's well worth it if you do!)
Most companies who invest in Marketing Automation lack the time, resources and experience necessary to get a return on their investment.
So, most companies who purchase a Marketing Automation system end up needing to pay extra to some agency who will help them. That costs a lot. Many times more than the system itself, in fact. And to make matters even worse, when you hire an external agency - what happens when you stop paying? All the expertise disappears with the agency, and you're stuck again.
A common scenario:
1. You buy a complex system to get all the features
2. But discover this:
3. Lack of time and technical complexity leads to underutilization
I don't like that model!
That's why I started FunnelBud. Today, we've grown into a large team who help customers all over the world. We don't lock you into long contracts. We don't try to implement a cookie-cutter standard solution regardless of your unique needs. We don't leave you after the initial implementation. Instead, we are your long-term partner, and we actively work with you continuously to improve your marketing automation and sales processes. We give you strategic advice and help you implement solutions that address your needs.
How this affects you:
- No terms. Quit whenever you want! Turns out, customers love us so much, they don't just stay - they also refer others!
- SharpSpring services included. Consultation, implementations of solutions and processes, active recommendations of best practices and suggested solutions. It's all included. We set up everything so that you can simply execute campaigns and do sales.
- Low cost. You pay for your license, and that's it. We don't charge anything extra for all the help and services you get. For the same services, other agencies charge 5-10x what we do.
Our team consists of experienced SharpSpring consultants. You will be taken care of by your own project manager who will get to know your business in-depth. We limit the number of customers to 8 per member so that each customer gets the attention they deserve.
Our promise to you is this: We will not just answer your questions. We will try to understand your need, and help you address it in the best way possible.
Our mission statement is simple:
How do we deliver such a powerful system and include so much services, at a fraction of the cost that others charge?
