Whether you’re a marketing team of one or many, top priority is customer engagement at the right time, driving interest, and marketing relevant content. The Salesforce.com Foundation customer base has been growing at record speed for the past year, and with only a handful of marketers, we needed a way to keep up. Enter Pardot marketing automation - our tool for success. Join us to hear our journey and learn how Pardot has transformed our marketing, communications, and outreach from manual processes to sophisticated profiling and segmentation. We'll examine what it took to get it up and running and how we can now be more responsive to our customers' interests with content marketing. Leave knowing that the small and mighty marketer can get the job done too!
