Challenge

accesso-offerings

A Salesforce customer for more over a decade, accesso created aggressive 2019 sales targets. Yet, executives had limited visibility into inbound lead generation efforts. VALiNTRY was hired to perform a Customer Instance Health Check and, once it was completed, accesso determined they should focus on:

  • Better prioritizing and qualifying inbound leads
  • Automatically increasing touchpoints on new leads
  • Seamlessly aligning sales and marketing efforts
  • Dramatically reducing sales process labor hours currently in place with BriteVerify & MailChimp

Solution

VALiNTRY360 implemented and configured Pardot as the marketing automation solution and accesso is self-managing post-delivery.

This implementation allowed accesso to:

  • Nurture contacts and segmented leads with targeted and automated campaigns
  • Implement Account-Based Marketing (ABM) strategies to help marketing and sales partner to win new business
  • Provide sales targeted and marketing qualified leads (MQLs)
  • Understand and analyze each campaign’s performance

VALiNTRY360 helped accesso create success by providing:

  • Pardot implementation, configuration, and setup with Salesforce connector and Einstein Analytics
  • Salesforce Engage Setup, configuration, and license distribution for initial accesso sales users
  • Configuration of NeverBounce and Instapage form integration with Pardot
  • Five (5) one-hour training sessions via web conference

Results

With VALiNTRY360’s assistance, accesso performed a complete overhaul of its sales organization and processes. With the successful integration and configuration of Pardot, Salesforce is now a system of impact vs system of record and accesso is solidly part of the Customer Ohana. Other results include:
