Autopilot Chooses GoodData to Help Sales Teams Master the Art of Email Prospecting

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 20, 2014) - Autopilot, the new standard in marketing and sales automation, together with GoodData, today announced that they are providing embedded analytics for sales prospecting with the launch of CoPilot. CoPilot, which removes the manual work from sales prospecting, now helps sales teams better understand performance of drip email campaigns so they can make quick, informed decisions to drive better results.

"The typical sales person simply wants to know what's driving engagement with their prospects and what isn't," said Peter Sharkey, Co-founder and Product Manager at Autopilot. "When it comes to analyzing drip email activities, it's often hard to drown out the noise and get actionable insights. By powering CoPilot's analytics with GoodData, we're able to provide our users with the most cutting edge insight, right inside of CoPilot itself."

With GoodData seamlessly embedded in CoPilot's user interface, customers now have the ability to:

• Get an accessible, on-demand view into how prospects interact with outbound email campaigns
• Gain fact-based insight into what makes an effective, highly engaging email campaign
• Understand which messages resonate most with each persona to deliver more specialized language
• View email campaign performance at a high-level and drill down into individual touch points, including click rates, open rates, and clicks per unique open
• Track high-value metrics like Most Engaged Prospects and Best Performing Campaigns to invest resources where it counts
• Remain agile by equipping sales teams with real-time knowledge they can use immediately
  
  

In addition to providing this service to their customers, CoPilot uses GoodData internally for their own email prospecting. This helps them first understand what efforts drive the most engagement and then optimize drip email campaigns based on these findings.

Autopilot's self-service implementation with GoodData took just two weeks, allowing them to introduce analytic insights to their customers with the launch of CoPilot. After evaluating a number of other business intelligence vendors, Autopilot chose GoodData for this blazing time to value, ease of use for Autopilot's customers, and ease of embedding into the CoPilot user interface.

"Rapidly growing companies like Autopilot need extreme time to value," said Roman Stanek, CEO and founder of GoodData. "Autopilot's two-week self-service implementation is a great example of how companies can deliver embedded analytics to their customers in a fraction of the time with a cloud-based solution like GoodData."
