Quotes

  • "Insightly is a CRM, a marketing automation platform and a customer service tool that you could actually see the full customer journey, not just that landing page conversion, but everything that customer did and how that landing page conversion was a part of that customer journey. So that's what we mean by leveraging all this first party data combined with the powerful conversion metrics that Unbounce gives you, really is a full picture." - Val Riley

  • "A big difficulty with the CRM space is integrations, and Insightly has middleware called App Connect, that can essentially connect with anything that has an open AI, it's very similar to Zapier, but it's part of the Insightly platform." - Val Riley

  • "Unbounce also acquired a lead attribution software called leads RX, and that's going to be built into the platform as well." - Val Riley

  • “I's true that these large companies really struggle to innovate. It's just not in their DNA; they are mired in processes, they are mired in formulas. They have procedures in place. It's not really an area that breeds innovation. And so when they're looking for growth, it's really going to happen by acquisition.” - Val Riley
