KEY TAKEAWAYS
Over the past five to ten years we’ve seen the habits of B2B Buyers change dramatically, conducting anywhere from 2/3 to ¾ of their research anonymously before they begin to engage with your marketing campaigns or sales people. And Pardot is a great tool for engaging them once they self-identify. But in today’s world of account-based marketing, waiting for that hand-raise means you’re already behind.
Now imagine being able to activate Pardot to engage and nurture the right, best-fit accounts when they are first starting their research out on the web – not just on your website or with your marketing campaigns?
The Demandbase for Salesforce Pardot integration enables you to activate orchestrated, cross-channel campaigns in Pardot using these anonymous buying signals to get you out ahead of the competition.
Knowing that a target account is showing intent – interest in specific topics relevant to your products and services - you can launch personalized, targeted display ads to the accounts and buying teams, run email nurture campaigns to your known Pardot Prospects at those accounts to drive them to a hand-raise faster, and use the unique intent of the account to prioritize the best leads to sales.

What makes a good account?
[CLICK] First, an account must meet your basic buying criteria. Are they of the size they’d need to be to want or afford your offering? Are they in a region that you serve? Do you have a solution for their industry?
[CLICK] Beyond basic qualification, you want to know whether they’re in-market for your category. Are they demonstrating a need for an offering like yours? Are they researching topics related to your offering on the web?
[CLICK] The best accounts will also be showing timely intent for your offering. These are the people who are actively engaging with the content on your site, have an identifiable group of decision makers and stakeholders, and have the budget buy.
Account Selection is a new tool that helps marketers:
Take the guesswork out of building account lists
Identify companies that meet buying criteria and are showing the right intent signals
And boost sales and marketing effectiveness throughout the funnel
Since marketers view their world through this account – and aggregate audience – lens, they want to dig deeper into things like website activity - how many sessions are you seeing from this audience? How has this audience’s behavior changed over time? What specific content is being consumed?
Especially if this list has been generated by Account Selection, you’ll want to understand more about the makeup of the audience. If these are your highest valued accounts, you want to know where they are concentrated, and build your marketing and sales territories around those areas that are most densely populated with great accounts.
The same thing goes for industries. What kinds of verticals are present in the audience? What revenue ranges or employee sizes? All of this helps you to make decisions about how best to market to this audience.
Finally, and maybe most importantly, you need to be able to understand the performance of these audiences. How are they progressing through the funnel, and what actions can you take to improve?
