salesforce.com (CRM) Announces Launch of Next-Gen Sales Cloud B2B Marketing Automation, from StreetInsider.com.
salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) launched the next generation of Sales Cloud B2B marketing automation. Powered by Salesforce Pardot, the new Intelligent Engagement Studio and Sales Cloud Engage will deliver sophisticated adaptive lead nurturing, visualized campaign testing and cutting edge mobile marketing tools.
The B2B sales cycle has changed dramatically in recent years, primarily because prospects now research options online and engage with companies only when they’re close to making a purchase. While the actions prospects take during the research process present numerous engagement opportunities, most marketers and sales reps don’t have the visibility or context required to understand how best to connect with the individual and advance them through the buying process. For example, marketers know a prospect opened an email, but don’t how long they were engaged with it or what they did next. And by the time sales receives the intelligence, the moment of engagement has passed and it’s too late to act on it. What they need is a solution that assembles the individual data points and translates them into actionable insights.
Next Generation of B2B Marketing Automation in the Sales CloudThe next generation of Sales Cloud B2B marketing automation, powered by Pardot, assembles prospect data points and automatically translates them into actionable insights, enabling marketing and sales teams to sell smarter. With deep visibility into the prospect’s digital engagement, it’s now easier than ever for marketers and sales reps to understand how prospects want to be engaged and to deliver what they want, when they want it. Sales reps can now receive real-time prospect engagement notifications in the Salesforce1 mobile app, enabling them with instant visibility into how prospects are engaging with product and marketing materials anywhere, at any time. And marketing teams can easily provide curated and approved content to sales reps so they can immediately deploy a custom email campaign to move the prospect through the sales funnel.
