It used to be that when a prospect wanted to buy your product, they would start a conversation with a sales rep. But due to the rise in digital buying behaviours, they’re coming to your website and researching anonymously. So how you turn that anonymous data into insight?
We invite you to join this webinar as we cover:
How to identify all of your web traffic
Customising every visit for target accounts
Increasing form completions
This presentation will feature B2B marketers who will share how they are using their website data to serve up unique web experiences to target accounts and maximise engagement.
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.

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
So let’s highlight some of the main functionality of the Engagement Solution.
One of the main areas we focus on as B2B marketers is our website. We create a lot of pages and content, but for the most part leave our sites as a “one size fits all,” when today’s B2B buyer is looking for relevancy and content they are most interested in.
With the Engagement Solution we can identify your site visitors, whether they are known or unknown, so that you can personalize the experience for each visitor. You can change the headline, images, calls to action, and content on your site – without being limited to specific zones or pages. So that you can help guide each visitor through each stage of their buyer’s journey.
Some of the ways you can personalize is by audience segment. Taking a generic call out or messaging to everyone and personalizing based on attributes like [CLICK]
Company Name [CLICK]
Company Size [CLICK]
And Industry or vertical [CLICK]
One of the main areas to focus on is leveraging high quality content. But you don’t have to have a ton of content to be effective. You can leverage individual content pieces, but personalize it to different audiences. For example:
On the left without Demandbase, everyone visiting this page would receive the same white paper offer.
But with Demandbase you can personalize the experience by offering the same white paper but with imagery and content personalized to specific verticals [CLICK].
The same content, but personalized to your target audiences.
You can also leverage AI and machine learning to automatically recommend the right content and high value pages to each visitor. Instead of trying to guess what the best content is to present, the AI technology learns what content pages to surface. And with all of the pages and content we have produced for our B2B websites, it helps each visitor quickly discover content that they will find most relevant.
This leads to increased engagement with your site and insight into your current content and programs.
It also provides analytics for deeper analysis into what visitors are engaging with and how the AI based recommendations are increasing that engagement. The reports are generated within Google Analytics where you are already currently spending time on website analysis making it easy for you.
As we discussed earlier, we as B2B marketers spend a lot of time trying to get visitors to fill out our web forms so we can identify who these individuals are and further our marketing efforts to them. But a lot of times we create lengthy forms to collect as much information as possible – creating friction for the visitor to 1) fill out the form and 2)provide real information.
We help B2B marketers increase their form completions without sacrificing the critical data they need. You can reduce the number of fields in your forms to make them easier to fill out. We also offer dozens of company attributes behind the scenes that are added to each form fill and included in your contact records. This not only provides a richer profile about each individual, but it helps standardize the data in your database.
Here’s how it works.
Animation:
Many forms have 15+ fields and ask for detailed company information that is used to score and route leads. [CLICK]
Demandbase captures all that company information about each visitor, so you’re able to shorten forms significantly…which is proven to increase conversion rates. [CLICK]
The detailed company info is passed through for each lead and captured in the appropriate marketing automation or CRM tool.
Prioritising Campaign focus and messaging
i.e. if we see that 30% of our target accounts are trending for 'Information Governance' but only 5% are trending for 'Process Automation' we'd choose to push an IG campaign out.
Prioritising prospecting calling efforts
Both SDRs and AEs are tasked with outbound prospecting, we currently have a manual mechanism to sync intent data into SFDC, it would be great to see this automated
Measuring account 'engagement'
As a rep I'd like to see if an account is:
Showing intent
Engaging anonymously on our website
How many prospects we have in SFDC
How many people we have access to reach via LinkedIn Sales Navigator
Being able to select accounts for marketing to focus on from SFDC
i.e. 'Add this account to marketing's priority list' - this might be done by marketing themselves, but having the mechanism would be great
If we tie this to intent data you could also kick off relevant ad streams (if an accounts trending for info governance, push them to the IG ad stream etc etc)
Run reports in SFDC with intent data
Which accounts are surging?? As a rep, which of my accounts have the highest intent levels and what are they looking for? What's their onsite engagement
Finally - having on-site engagement + program engagement data in SFDC would allow us to create an 'Account Engagement Score', a basic version of what Engagio does...
If you utilize a live chat solution today, you can take it to the next level with personalized conversations by identifying the company your visitors are from. This allows you to prioritize chat sessions against target accounts, maximizing conversion and retention opportunities.
Animation:
Prospect (BofA) visits your website; Target Account for IT Services; They get a chat trigger that’s routed to Sales, and information from the chat is passed into the database
Customer (Alto Aviation) visits website; Less important category and lower revenue; They don’t get a chat trigger, but are funneled support ticket page.
Customer (Siemens) visits website; Focus category and high revenue; They get a chat trigger routed to support/customer services for quick response.
With the Demandbase Engagement Solution you can engage individuals from the companies you care about across the entire buyer’s journey.
It starts with being able to identify both know and unknown individuals on your website. Understanding what company an individual is from, even before they have filled out a form, so you can make decisions on how to engage each individual. Once identified, you can personalize each visit with relevant content and messaging for different audience segments. You can also leverage AI and machine learning to recommend the right content and high value pages for each individual.
It also helps accelerate form completion by reducing the number of fields, while providing dozens of company level attributes. That data is included with the record when you connect your CRM and MAS systems. You can also clean up your existing records and reconcile your data across your database.
Finally, you can identify individuals coming to your site so that you can have real-time chat conversations with them that are personalized to them.
The Demandbase Engagement Solution allows B2B marketers to accurately identify both known and anonymous visitors in real-time to engage them with a personalized website experience to capture their attention, reduce the friction in filling out web forms, and turn your MAS into an ABM machine to move your target accounts through every phase of the buyer’s journey.
How does GDPR affect all this? Could I personalise by name?
2. I already segment my customer & prospect data using my Marketing Automation tool and send personalised messages through that – how is this different?
3. I don’t have the time, resource or budget for something like this
4. Where would I get started?
