Keep your pipeline fully stocked using Pardot B2B Lead Management

Marketing and sales both have a distinct definition of ‘Lead’ which emerges a tremendous crack in the lead management process. And that’s where Salesforce Pardot fills the gap by getting them along.  

Marketing prospect- A person or organisation showing interest in buying your product via sharing a phone number, email, social media account details, is ‘Lead’.

Sales prospect- They call it an opportunity, and if this turns in further desirable actions such as free demo/trial. That means they are sales-ready, and that’s what they call a ‘Lead’.

And these steps to define, measure, and optimise leads known as lead management.       

Why Pardot for lead management?

For selling something, you must have a group of people who are willing to buy it. But in online business, there is a massive sea of buyers and also plenty of sellers to sell in case of B2C.
