					<description><![CDATA[<p>Marketing automation is often judged by what happens when everything goes correctly. A form is submitted, a contact is created, the correct data appears, a workflow begins, an email sends, a salesperson receives the lead, and the customer moves to the next step. The real test begins when something goes wrong. A field may be [&#8230;]</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Revenue automation works best when it connects the full path from first interest to closed revenue instead of automating isolated tasks. A form submission, lead score, sales assignment, follow-up email, opportunity update, and dashboard may all work correctly on their own while the overall revenue process still has gaps between them.
