Now You See Me, Now You Don’t! Lead Routing Basics for Pardot Admins | 1:35 p.m. – 2 p.m. ET

Now You See Me, Now You Don't! Lead Routing Basics for Pardot Admins

On average, about 33% of prospects in Pardot databases exist in Pardot only (meaning they’re not synced to Salesforce). You could have a whole segment of inbound leads that only exist in Pardot waiting to be qualified and assigned in Sales Cloud. So, what happens when there isn’t a plan in place to engage and route these leads?

This session will help you identify how many of your Pardot prospects only live in Pardot and are inactive. Additionally, we will cover different ways to route leads between Salesforce and Pardot. We will discuss how you can leverage the power of marketing automation to make sure your new inbound leads make it to the right team for appropriate follow up. We will outline tips, tricks and gotchas that will help you look like a demand gen hero.

This session is for Pardot admins and anyone who manages leads within your organization at all skill levels.

Presenter: Marcos Duran

Marketing Reporting: Why Contact Roles are “Mission-Critical” and How To Effectively Add Them

Most marketers seek better Pardot reporting, but they need opportunity contact roles to make the magic happen.

In this session, you’ll learn why contact roles are important and get a comprehensive look at a couple of key solutions.

Presenter: Jen Kazin

Attributions you assign to leads may point you in the right direction for a sale, but customer behavior can provide insight into their buying behavior. This allows you to make more informed decisions moving forward.

How to Tame Category Scoring to Produce Quality MQLs | 10:50 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. ET

How to Tame Category Scoring to Produce Quality MQLs

Category scoring is a beast. Unlike overall scoring, there’s not an easy way to reset a prospect’s score so they qualify as a MQL in the future without some serious leg work.

If you’re contemplating category scoring for products or you’ve been pulling out your hair trying to make them work, we have a live case example to show you how to tame those pesky category scores.

Presenters: Becky Daniel and Jaclyn Day

 

Planning for Your Pardot Business Unit Implementation | 12:35 p.m. – 1 p.m. ET

Implementing Pardot Business Units (PBUs) is like putting together a very intricate puzzle where you have to analyze each piece before putting it into place. There are a lot of moving pieces in a PBU implementation, so understanding how PBUs work and planning each step of the implementation is vital to success. In this session, you’ll get an overview of how PBUs work and the key items you’ll need to plan before implementation. 

Presenter: Erin Duncan

 

A Step Too Far? Pardot and Contacts to Multiple Accounts | 1:05 p.m – 1:30 p.m. ET

A Step Too Far? Pardot and Contacts to Multiple Accounts

Imagine you have a contact that is related to more than one account in Salesforce. How can you track the relationships between people and the companies they work with? In this session, you’ll learn what Contacts to Multiple Accounts in Salesforce is, how it relates to the Pardot data model, and challenges and limitations you can expect to find with their potential workarounds.

Presenter: Matt Lincoln

 

Opportunities in Salesforce: And why you may be doing it wrong | 1:35 p.m. – 2 p.m. ET

We’re following up on last year’s popular Leads discussion in the And why you may be doing it wrong session. This time we tackle Opportunities in Salesforce. 

Some companies commonly come up with their own definitions of when implementing Salesforce, and then struggle when their pipeline reports make little to no sense later down the road when Opportunity close rates look terrible, Lead Conversion ratios make no sense and Campaign performance reports are as good as anyone’s guess.

We’re also going to help better understand how Opportunities can be better leveraged for Pardot reports, and how to bring over important information for any segmentation/suppression lists to avoid bombarding someone in an active pipeline with prospecting emails.

Presenter: Erick Mahle
