Common Challenges We Solve

Legacy Pardot migration pain

Operational Impact: Organizations struggle with outdated Pardot setups, broken automations, and data inconsistencies when moving to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement.

Our Approach: We design a phased migration plan, clean and map existing data, and rebuild automations and scoring models to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption.

Poor lead quality & sales rejection

Operational Impact: Sales teams often reject leads due to inaccurate scoring, incomplete data, or mismatched targeting, leading to wasted effort and eroded trust.

Our Approach: We refine lead‑scoring and grading logic, align criteria with sales feedback, and implement lead‑qualification workflows that deliver higher‑quality, sales‑accepted leads.

Disconnected marketing‑sales data

Operational Impact: Marketing and sales work from different views of accounts and opportunities, creating misalignment and missed follow‑up opportunities.

Our Approach: We integrate Account Engagement tightly with Sales Cloud, standardize data fields, and configure real‑time visibility so both teams share a single source of truth.

Limited personalization without AI

Operational Impact: Many teams rely on generic campaigns instead of tailored journeys, resulting in lower engagement and conversion rates.

Our Approach: We implement AI‑driven segmentation, dynamic content, and predictive scoring to deliver personalized, context‑aware messages at scale.

Low adoption & training gaps

Operational Impact: Users fail to adopt Account Engagement fully due to complex interfaces, unclear processes, and insufficient training.

Our Approach: We simplify workflows, design role‑based dashboards, and deliver hands‑on training and documentation to drive consistent usage across marketing and sales.

Ineffective reporting & ROI tracking

Operational Impact: Marketing struggles to prove impact because reports are siloed, incomplete, or disconnected from pipeline and revenue.

Our Approach: We configure unified dashboards, attribute campaigns to opportunities, and establish clear KPIs so marketing can demonstrate measurable ROI and optimize performance.

Why a Clean Setup Is Not Optional

Without a planned setup and ongoing tuning, Salesforce Marketing Cloud account engagement can fall short, leading to low adoption, weak data quality, and missed pipeline impact. Proper implementation and optimization help your instance operate as a reliable, AI-ready revenue system, not just another marketing tool. 

A consistent data model and strong data hygiene support accurate scoring, segmentation, and reporting.

  • Standardize lead and account fields for shared sales and marketing use.
  • Apply deduplication and enrichment rules to keep records accurate.
  • Align data governance with compliance needs and internal policies.

AI features perform well only when data and logic are correct and consistent.

  • Set predictive scoring and segmentation rules based on real behaviors.
  • Enable Einstein features for content guidance and journey improvements.
  • Refine thresholds and inputs as buyer signals and data patterns change.

Even a strong setup fails if teams do not use it as part of daily work.

  • Build role-based workflows and dashboards that match day-to-day tasks.
  • Provide hands-on training and clear documentation for key user groups.
  • Define ownership and operating rules to keep usage consistent over time.

Account engagement should improve after go-live through ongoing review.

  • Review campaign results, scoring accuracy, and conversion signals regularly.
  • Update journeys, segments, and content based on what data shows.
  • Expand what works and retire what does not to protect marketing ROI.
