How Do Demand Gen Programs Address Aftermarket Services?
Turn your installed base into a growth engine. Use service-triggered plays, parts & consumables journeys, and warranty/contract renewals tied to CRM and service data to capture recurring revenue.
Effective aftermarket demand gen connects service events (tickets, PM visits, IoT alerts) with orchestrated campaigns for parts, upgrades, and contracts. It requires a unified customer + asset view, trigger libraries (e.g., end-of-life, usage thresholds, warranty nearing end), and measurement that attributes revenue to service-led motions as well as marketing touches.
