Education
Implementation Services
Introduction
Our Professional Services team will provide you with implementation/integration/migration consulting, product training, best practice recommendations, go-live guidance, and project management via recurring, remote consulting meetings—and onsite consulting when possible—to achieve the goals of your implementation.
The goal of Implementation Services is to get you migrated, integrated, configured, built, tested, and live with Iterable as soon as possible. We know how important it is to you to achieve value and ROI quickly. As soon as you sign on as a client of Iterable, you are immediately engaged with your Implementation team. Implementation Project Managers, Implementation Consultants, and Technical Consultants with extensive industry/platform experience who will guide you through your initial implementation.
Customer Delight
Our Professional Services teams have onboarded and implemented over 1,000 Iterable clients in the past four years. Our average Implementation Customer Satisfaction score is over 95% — from thousands of responses. Each and every quarter, we receive hundreds of quotes from customers, like these:
- “The team has been absolutely incredible. I’ve been doing this (both on the client and provider side) for years and this is the best service I’ve seen from a vendor partnership.”
- “We have worked with many different technology providers, and I can say with confidence that I am yet to work with a team such as Iterable. The team is well organized and helpful. Thank you for making it a pleasure to work with you.”
- “Our Implementation Consultant has been an incredible partner in our implementation so far. He’s been very patient as we didn’t have 100% of the answers when we started the process. He’s also made himself available while we wait for our product and engineering team to assist with the technical side of the integration. He not only has been a great partner but a great teacher as he’s assisted with training and best practices. Would recommend him to any team – thank you!”
- “Our Implementation Consultant has been an incredible thought partner throughout our entire implementation experience. She showed real patience and leadership.”
- “What seemed at first like an insurmountable task, turned into an extremely positive learning experience thanks to our amazing implementation team. They were responsive, patient, and had a wealth of information. Our migration to iterable was smooth and we’re so excited to continue using the platform.”
- “Our Implementation Consultant is both extremely knowledgeable in the Iterable solution and proactive in his help. He’s been incredibly valuable along our journey of getting live in Iterable and it’s almost hard to imagine doing it without him. He’s also always fully professional with a keen ability to think ahead and inform us of best practices as we move the project forward.”
- “Our Implementation Consultant is exceptionally talented. He is an A+ technologist who knows his platform and how to ensure his client’s needs are met. He has gone above and beyond on every request and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the initial engagements with Iterable, as we implement the tool. We have 100% confidence that we will be successful because of the relationship that he’s created. We appreciate that we have such a stellar partner and hope Iterable knows what kind of gem he is.”
- “I’ve felt so supported throughout this implementation process. Our Implementation Consultant is incredibly knowledgeable, accessible, and amazing to work with. I couldn’t be any happier with this process and feel like we have been set up for success.”
Education Services
Our goal for Education Services is to create virtual and live training content that delights and empowers you to do your best work. What does that mean? That means that we aim to provide content that helps you solve everyday business problems for you and your team by meeting you where you are. Whether you are sending your very first marketing campaign in the Iterable platform, or you are creating advanced nurture workflows to market towards your most loyal customers, we hope that the learning resources we create help guide you in your efforts.
Our team strives to create cutting-edge learning content for you and your team to utilize wherever you are. We are working to update many of our courses to be aligned with the micro-learning format, so you can take a course in 5-15 minutes and move on to whatever is next for you! Our live sessions typically are 60 minutes so we can allow time for Q&A, and then those sessions are recorded and curated into longer format courses in Academy to take at your leisure. You’ll also see Academy courses that are more learning-inclusive, which means you’ll see alt-tags describing pictures, more audio options, and images, to create a more neuro-inclusive environment for all of our learners! We are here for you. We value your feedback, and if something isn’t working or could be better, let us know! You can reach us at academy@iterable.com and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can. Let’s iterate, together!
Deliverability Services
Iterable Deliverability Services is designed to help our clients get the most return on their investment in the email channel possible by working together on identifying key vulnerabilities, opportunities for improvement, and strategies for program optimization, all through the lens of email deliverability.
Methodology
We do this with a multi-phased approach to understand your email program holistically from a number of different perspectives. We of course utilize data created by Iterable and our best-in-class segmentation and workflow functionality, which is woven into a data-driven narrative with supplemental inputs from MTA-level information such as event trends and raw SMTP logs, mailbox provider insights like Google Postmaster Tools and Microsoft SNDS, and a variety of actual deliverability-centric sources.
People
Iterable’s in-house Deliverability team is our proven difference maker. Our Deliverability team represents just under 50 years of combined experience in client service, email marketing, and deliverability from the beginning as it emerged as a field. Their backgrounds include multiple worldwide email service providers (ESPs) and full-service messaging agencies, email intelligence software companies, leading email marketing teams themselves, and more.
Outcomes
Ultimately we are able to work with our clients through any stage of an email program lifecycle and health levels. Whether it is establishing health baselines in order to further understand current-state performance, working together to help develop program triage maneuvers, rebuilding brand and email infrastructure reputation, or optimizing project or initiative execution, our team is able to truly become an extension of the Iterable team dedicated to help our customers succeed.
Strategic Services
Our Strategic Services team works with clients to identify which objectives are vital to your brand’s success. These objectives may include things like increasing market penetration, driving uplift in consumer engagement, building customer loyalty, and/or boosting sales.
Our approach is to dive into your business, existing customer experience, challenges in the marketing, best practices, trends, and the industry landscape to arrive at strategic recommendations for your business objectives that maximize your Iterable investment. We also then work with you to ensure you can deliver on those recommendations, on time, and on budget.
