• Think 3 years out
• Avoid the “this will serve our needs for a year” mentality
• Migration isn’t always easy
• Data is lost
Think Ahead
Marketo Proprietary and Confidential | © Marketo, Inc. 7/28/2015 @mikedberger @marketo
• Marketing is a revenue driver, not a cost center
• Investment vs. expense
• Small improvements in conversion rates often dwarf
price differences between systems

Marketo Proprietary and Confidential | © Marketo, Inc. 7/28/2015 @mikedberger @marketo
• Push prospect into a nurturing program when their lead
score hits 25.
• When someone downloads content, score them
differently based on who they are.
• CXO or VP
• Director or Manager
• Practicioner
• Student or Job Seeker
Scenario
Marketo Proprietary and Confidential | © Marketo, Inc. 7/28/2015 @mikedberger @marketo
Workflows: Branching Logic
Almost impossible Requires lots of
lists and multiple
workflows
Easy to do in one
workflow, no lists
required
Marketo Proprietary and Confidential | © Marketo, Inc. 7/28/2015 @mikedberger @marketo
Workflows: Rules
Flow through
once or many?
Marketo Proprietary and Confidential | © Marketo, Inc. 7/28/2015 @mikedberger @marketo
Workflows: Rules
Example: Scoring rule
where an email click adds
2 points to score.
Marketo Proprietary and Confidential | © Marketo, Inc. 7/28/2015 @mikedberger @marketo
Workflows: Rules
If prospect clicks email 2x,
they are not going to
receive scoring credit.
Marketo Proprietary and Confidential | © Marketo, Inc. 7/28/2015 @mikedberger @marketo
Workflows: Rules
A second workflow is then
required.
Marketo Proprietary and Confidential | © Marketo, Inc. 7/28/2015 @mikedberger @marketo
Workflows: Rules
If many times through flow
allowed, only one
workflow needed to add 2
points for each click.

• Position Marketing as a profit center, not a cost center.
• Focus on the hole (use case), not the shovel (feature).
• Understand the tradeoffs between simplicity and speed, and time and value.
• Workflows are the engine that powers a marketing automation solution. Take
the time to understand what they can and can’t do.
• Get beyond vanity metrics. Measure how programs and channels are driving
pipeline and revenue.
Some Tweetable Takeaways…

Editor's Notes

  1. Hi Everyone, Thanks for joining us today for our second webinar in the Digital Marketing Bootcamp series on ‘Evaluating marketing automation solution’. Our first webinar went over the top 10 things marketing automation can do for you and today we will be going into how to find the right marketing automation solution for you, your team and your business. We are excited to have Mike Berger who is a direct of product marketing here at Marketo to speak on this topic.
  2. Before we get started, I wanted to go over some housekeeping items. First -
  3. (Jerry) Do you need to already have a lot of content created in order to utilize marketing automation? (Caitlin) Do you need to have a CRM in place? What CRMs does Marketo integrate with? (Ron) How big of a team do you need to have to run marketing automation? (Jane) Do marketing automation platforms provide you with email and landing page templates, or do you have to create your own?
