Optimize Marketing Efforts with Salesforce's Pardot

Marketers, particularly in the B2B space, can benefit from inbound marketing as a relationship-building technique. B2B engagements are often long-term and entail significant financial investments on the part of the potential customer. As a result, a corporation must persuade prospects of the value they bring to the table long before a transaction occurs. White papers, infographics, and e-books are excellent content assets to publish in this area.

Marketers must strategize the way they generate, publish, promote, personalize, and integrate their marketing assets across numerous platforms if an inbound marketing strategy is to flow into B2B sales activities. B2B marketing teams can use Salesforce Pardot as a one-stop-shop to:

• Encourage customers to buy from them

• Align inbound marketing efforts with sales objectives

• Ensure that all marketing communications are highly targeted and personalized across all channels.

• Automate the entire inbound marketing process.

To improve campaigns, keep track of prospect engagement.

Marketers may use Pardot to get visibility and insights on a prospect's engagement level across all marketing channels, allowing them to select the next steps and compute ROI on inbound marketing initiatives. Marketers may use Pardot to track, analyze, and improve prospect engagement in the following ways:

Dashboard for engagement history:

Using the easy reporting dashboard built inside Account and Campaign records on Pardot, explore and visualize crucial engagement metrics such as top-performing assets or most engaged prospects. You may also customize the dashboard view to see information about Campaign, Account, Contact, or Opportunity records and plan your next step. For example, if your team is running a product launch campaign and you observe on the dashboard that several prospects inside an Account have downloaded a white paper, you can use Salesforce Engage to distribute the same white paper to your sales team, who are also working on the same project.

AI engine built-in:

Pardot Einstein, Pardot's built-in AI engine, receives the data from the Engagement history dashboard. Scores and insights on the most engaged prospects and successful campaigns are available. Here's how to do it:

Einstein's behavior assessment:
