Gaining valuable insights for sales
Westbase Technology wanted to use Pardot to monitor visits to their corporate site and webstore, to warm up existing leads and track ROI across multiple channels. They wanted visibility of their visitors’ actions to gain insight into their customer’s behaviour and intentions, using this information to better inform the sales team. Armed with more insight on their customer’s interests, the sales reps were able to close more business. Over the past quarter, tracked site visitors increased by over 20% and Marketing Qualified Leads increased by 1089%, compared to the previous period.
Generating more leads
In order to generate more leads for sales, the marketing team needed a way to easily create landing pages and forms to promote content and increase data capture of prospects. We created a template that the marketing team could copy and edit so they could get landing pages up and running within minutes. As a result, average monthly submission rate for content landing pages has increased by 114% over 6 months. We also replicated Westbase Technology’s web forms across the site so their data was captured and held in Pardot, ready to be marketed to and inform the sales team.
Re-engaging existing leads
To engage with existing leads, we helped Westbase Technology set up a nurture program in Pardot to promote the brand further and warm up leads ready for the sales team. Emails in the nurture program have an average click through rate of 6.52% and 9% of cold leads go on to be qualified and passed through to sales.
Calculating marketing ROI
As they were planning to reach out to new prospects via social, Westbase wanted to be able to monitor engagement on their social channels and determine the ROI of their activity. To get the most out of their social marketing efforts, we helped Westbase Technology connect their social channels to Pardot. This not only gave them an easy way to post social messages across multiple social media accounts (increasing the number of social posts by 58%) but also provided visibility of social engagement and ROI from the channel.
