Why marketing and CRM integration matters

Without structured integration, organisations often face:

  • Duplicate or inconsistent contact records
  • Manual list imports and exports
  • Poor visibility into campaign effectiveness
  • Limited understanding of marketing contribution to revenue
  • Weak lead qualification and handover

Integration eliminates fragmentation and improves commercial clarity.

 

What effective Mailchimp integration should deliver

  • Synchronise contacts automatically
  • Maintain accurate subscription preferences
  • Segment audiences using CRM data
  • Reflect campaign engagement within Maximizer
  • Align marketing performance with pipeline progression

The objective is full sales and marketing lifecycle visibility.

What do our customers say?

“I’m using Power BI a lot more now than I did when we started with creating refreshable dashboards for the Senior Leadership Team and other management levels showing different elements of the business. We are doing this by implementing the data warehouse built by Avrion, which is very handy. I love Power BI and think it is such a great tool that every business can have/use as it turns your raw data into a story that shows different aspects from the company over time.”

Dan Costin – Restore Datashred

“Connolly's Red Mills have been working with Avrion since 2017 with our Maximizer implementation and have found them to be a great company to deal with, projects completed in a timely manner to a high standard.”

David Dewberry – Connolly’s Red Mills

“After a feasibility study designed to ascertain which CRM to integrate into our business, I found that Avrion put together the best end scenario and product, Maximizer, to take our business forward. The team at Avrion showed their diligence and knowledge, which was a clear deciding factor in instigating our partnership. We look forward to strengthening our relationship going forward, as CRM evolution never stops! We can now see in real time how all of our opportunities are progressing. We also have automated reports in our Dashboard module showing the business sales performance and pipeline, which allows us to focus on each individual opportunity without any being left unnurtured. Avrion has now linked our Maximizer with Mailchimp to allow for focused marketing campaigns based on the data we add to the Address Book. We now have a clear sales process that can be tracked with clear ‘what’s next’ actions to implement.”

Craig Sansom – Prestige

“Maximizer CRM has been an invaluable tool. It enables us to be very efficient, keep on top of client projects and opportunities, and deliver the service we want to for our customers.”

Graham Cording – Smart Presentations

“Data is one of the most valuable assets any business has, but unlocking its true value depends on quality, meaningful analysis, and having the right tools and skills to turn insights into strategy and revenue. Having worked with Avrion, I can say they really do bring the expertise to help businesses make that transformation!”

Catherine Royle – Restore plc

“We have experienced a huge shift in the efficiency of the business with the all-round delivery of service.”

Tracey Hammond – Dengie

“Working with Avrion has been amazing from start to finish. We use Maximizer as a main system, however we required a bespoke quote tool building for our sales team. From start to finish, the integration of the software and support has been nothing short of phenomenal. Their entire team are very knowledgeable, efficient and nothing is ever too much. We look forward to using Avrion moving forward and continuing a great business relationship.”

Luke Hogg – Knoxford Fabrications

“We found Avrion very professional, yet friendly and fun to do business with. They really gained our trust.”

Chris Howard – BearingNet

“We first came across Maximizer Sales Leader Edition (SLE) when looking for a CRM system with quoting functionality to replace an aged manual system based mainly on Excel! From development to implementation, each stage was found easy to transact and made easy to understand with the support offered found to be exceptional. Our main area of focus was to improve systems to reduce stress on resource with minimal impact on the team – this was achieved with great success & the system welcomed.”

Liane Atherton – AAF Air Filters

““The reason why I like working with Jon is because he always comes up with a solution. This was a small project but it has a big impact and solves lots of time problems. I can now make updates to the communications that go out myself and don’t need the support of Avrion for this going forward, although they are always on hand if I need help.””

Jane Margetts – Restore Records Management
