The best thing about Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement

Shared metrics for shared goals

One funnel, one language.

To ensure optimal dovetailing of the marketing and sales departments, Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement makes use of the sales funnel. To stop wildly throwing buzzwords around, let’s keep it simple.

After all, that’s what it does. Essentially, in Pardot, as in the rest of the Salesforce universe, every sales opportunity and marketing contact is located in a cycle, a funnel. The goal of the common funnel, in which leads, visitors and prospective customers are allocated, is the evaluation of each individual lead: the so-called lead qualification. Based on this, marketing can provide high-quality service to sales and initiate the entire process more successfully from the outset.

Knowing this, it should be obvious that implementing Marketing Cloud Account Engagement is well worthwhile!

Potential assessment via a simple key

We’ve already briefly touched on the “Sales Readiness Score”, but it deserves a special mention here. Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement uses two metrics for lead qualification: point value and score.

A potential customer’s point value indicates how interested a potential lead is in a product or service. This changes constantly depending on how much the potential customer interacts with the marketing campaigns.
The score, on the other hand, indicates how well potential customers match the profile of ideal future customers.
