Marko Savic is co-founder and CEO of FunnelCake.
Marko did a presentation on every marketers favourite four letter word (we know what you're thinking - but no) data. His talk includes the numerous challenges in marketing technology today, how to pick the right technology (there are only two rules), and how his personal job story has a lot to do with why FunnelCake is now a company.
Marko presented this talk at The Marketing Leap in Kitchener, Ontario.

Before we jump in… I reference a lot of stuff in this talk. You can take photos of each slide but we’ll make the resources we’re going to talk about today on our blog. We also have a newsletter, it goes out every two weeks with the best articles we find around the web.
Plus we explain memes, like this.

I don’t how that slide makes you feel, but it makes me do this.
To cope with this we put together this idea of “stacks” – it’s a lot of all those tech categories you might run into.
Here’s a sample – you can use this to plot out all the tools you need.
It goes through the various stages of the purchase funnel
You just plunk tools into here
We’re focused on tech instead of figuring out ways to help our buyer
So how do we start implementing technology in a buyer focused way?
It’s not easy!
This is David Skok
Amazing series of blog post
Everything from how to build personas to buyer journeys to your sales process
This stuff is really hard to get right
This is not a buyer journey – this is your funnel
This is not a buyer journey – this is your funnel
This is not a buyer journey – this is your funnel
This is hard to build
This is what a sample for one buyer looks like.
The details don’t matter.
Non-linear.
How do you get this? Focus relentlessly on your customers, ask them
It’s even more difficult than this
David Skok, building the machine.
Build this process identify your buyers. build it for your different personas, channels, etc.
Focus relentlessly on your customers, ask them

Here’s four questions…
So NOW we’re ready to talk about technology
So obviously we need some sort of social management tool
And we have to connect it to our website to see clickthrough rates
And to automation to see if we’re turning these anonymous people into known contacts. This is a pretty simple example but you’ll see how integration is key.
So if we go back to our handy martech stack
We’re going to just pop Twitter into this Awareness box here
Twitter is just an awareness tool, right?
NOPE! Remember this?
I use Twitter all the time. I use it for research, to find out if others are using a tool, to get support while I’m using software, and to share how much I like something once I use it. That’s not just awareness.
This applies to so much more than Twitter. We need to stop thinking of things like our website, content marketing, and social media. The buyer journey helps us understand that.
Okay. So we know what we need our tools to do.
Let’s go buy them. There are two rules.
If you don’t? Custom work. Hacks. Integrations.
You don’t want to end up selling your development team’s soul to the flying spaghetti monster
Delaying actual jobs

Weeks of work but super valuable
