DATA ENTRY PATHS
It is no surprise that 90% of Marketing Automation users are getting data into their systems via direct integration with
lead capture forms, because after all, Marketing Automation was developed to track leads from their source.

For CRM and email solutions, data entry is the most frequently used method of populating these systems with records.

This study did not investigate the reasons why data entry is not producing dirtier data, but we can speculate: those
who are entering the data are also users of the systems.

The longer dirty data is allowed to reside in a system, the higher the probability that its quality issues will negatively
impact the campaigns, people or other systems that try to use it.

9
DATA QUALITY

It’s important to understand the value of having clean
data: the dirtier sales and marketing data is, the harder
it is to communicate with prospects and customers.

Intuitively, marketers understand there is a direct
connection between data quality and conversion rates.
