Top 4 reasons for failed Pardot Implementation-   

    1. Puzzling Process- Same as manufacturing, Pardot also goes with well-defined processes. No matter if you're creating content or running campaign, an explained process is vital for a smooth run.

For a coherent process, you should walk in customers ' shoes and make a blueprint of the entire process. In such scenarios, one should automate customers' life cycle just after they engage with your website. However, the process differs for various industries, so does the implementation.   

From making the target list, the process followed the executing campaign and led to many more others. Also, website activity/email measure the segment based activity, lead score and route qualified leads to CRM.    
 
    2. No integration- To run a campaign effectively on all channels, you must play the integration part wisely. That’s how you can unleash the full potential of automating and Pardot via integrating it with multiple apps like Google Analytics, LinkedIn, Salesforce, WordPress and Twitter.        

    3. Not explained ownership- To determine the project scope, you must ensure the activities. As in the end, ownership is one of the critical parts of Pardot implementation. It should follow the practice order and start with defining scope, formulate responsibility, add activity sequence.
