The Top 3 Myths of Salesforce and Pardot Implementation
Sales says "we need more leads". Marketing says "we aren't responsible for whether or not sales knows how to close".
This may make you laugh, or cry, depending on how your own sales and marketing teams function. But conversations like this are far from uncommon – we hear it all the time. When this type of discord arises, teams often look externally to pinpoint the problem, often deciding that their marketing/sales tool is to blame. These platforms may be an easy scapegoat, but switching to a new tool won't make the issues disappear.
This year, our firm became Salesforce Certified Pardot Consultants (yay!). While we have always considered ourselves to be Salesforce and Pardot experts, this took us to a new level of insight. Marketing and sales alignment is vital to the health of any business – but creating true alignment requires clear processes, constant communication and a single, defined strategy. Easier said than done, but far from impossible if you have the right tools (and team) in place.
After helping dozens of businesses define this process, we found that most teams experience similar issues when it comes to implementing Pardot and Salesforce. So, we want to help.
Here are the top myths of Pardot and Salesforce and how to fix them in your organization:
1. Myth #1 Segmentation is for marketing to handle.
This is one of the most common pitfalls of managing marketing automation effectively (especially regarding Pardot and Salesforce segmentation). It is true, marketing will handle the bulk of segmentation, but to be sure you are marketing to the right people at the right time, sales has to play an active role in the process.
For example – you probably don't want to be sending news about promos or discounts to paying customers, right? If sales fails to accurately mark every closed-won account, you'll end up with paying customers on your marketing list. Ouch.
That is an obvious example, but what about the less obvious scenarios?
- Feature Based List Addition – Sales will have direct conversation with leads and hear first hand what features the leads are actually interested in. Do you have feature-based lists available for sales to add leads to? If you do, marketing can send feature-specific content that fits the unique interests of each lead.
- Not Ready – Sales may determine a contact is not quite ready to close but needs some nurture to reengage in the future. Sales will need access to add that contact to a nurture program or list.
What About Partners? – Do you want to send partners and referrals the same content you are sending your leads? Does Sales have a way to add new partners and referrals to a list for you to later suppress?
- Where Are the Churned Customers Going? – This is surprisingly the list almost every team forgets to create because it is often customer success managing cancellations. Regardless of which team handles cancellations, be sure they are adding every churned account to a churned list so marketing does not continue blasting them with tips, tricks and newsletters. These churned customers will be the first to hit the SPAM button if you continue emailing them after they choose to leave.
There are countless scenarios, but the key is to ensure that sales knows what they are responsible for doing when it comes to adding or removing contacts and leads to lists.
Our suggestion? Be intentional with which lists you make visible to sales – only give them access to the lists they are responsible for helping update. That way, it is as easy as possible to add leads to the right list quickly.
Myth #2: Once we integrate the two systems, every lead will pass from marketing to sales automatically.
This is one of the most common misconceptions we hear. Yes, you can set up the integration to sync between systems, but it is up to you to determine how and when every lead and contact will be passed between Pardot and Salesforce.
To truly automate this process, you must first identify each point for a lead to convert. Are they coming in through a Request a Demo form on your website? A landing page? Or, is sales sourcing them from lists? The way a lead gets into the system will determine what actions are required to pass them from one platform to the other.
The next question is when. When will a lead in Pardot get passed into Salesforce? Will it be after every form completion? Or only after they reach a specific score? Answering this will force you to think through and understand everything from scoring to completion actions and automation rules.
Our suggestion? Get into a room with a whiteboard and identify every possible entry point for a lead. Then determine what should happen on each unique entry point (increase score, pass immediately to sales, assign via Salesforce active assignment rules, etc…). Finally, decide what type of message they need to receive after converting. Is it a direct outreach, autoresponder, addition to a nurture program? This will ensure that no lead gets left in marketing purgatory and each is followed up with at the right time by the right people.
Pro Tip:
Did you know that prospects in Pardot will not sync to Salesforce unless they are first assigned? So if you do not think through how this assignment will happen, you will have a bunch of hot leads with no follow through…and probably a whole lot of angry sales reps that missed their chance to land a deal. So be sure every conversion point has an action for assignment.
Myth #3: Marketing and sales alignment is optional or can be "handled in our annual offsite."
Marketing and sales alignment cannot be achieved in a single, 3-hour discovery session that happens a few times a year. Marketing and sales alignment is an ongoing process that requires constant attention and adjustment.
The job of the marketing team is to generate qualified leads that will close business for the company. To generate these leads, marketers leverage outlets like social media, landing pages, blogs, ebooks, whitepapers, email campaigns, nurture programs and a plethora of other channels. But sales is on the front lines of the close. They know what works, what doesn't, what caused the lead to re-engage and what resources they need to close the business.
Wouldn't it be nice to know if leads from a certain outlet always closed? Or that leads from another never turn to opportunities? Marketing cannot work in a silo. If you are not actively seeking input from your sales teams, you are most likely underutilizing the channels that work best while leaving piles of revenue on the table.
Our suggestion? Designate a marketing and a sales lead to carry the bulk of the communications. They can handle small issues like lead syncing, completion actions or qualification adjustments. Then plan on a quarterly meeting with key members of your sales and marketing team to get in a room and discuss what works, what doesn't and what sales needs to close more business.
This meeting accomplishes two things:
- Marketing walks away with a gold mine of insights into how to better convert and engage leads.
- Sales gains confidence and walks away excited about all marketing is doing to help them win business.
At the end of the day, both sales and marketing exist with the same goal in mind – to grow the company. Achieving this goal and the small milestones along the way will be far easier if they talk to and trust each other.
As an agency, we sit in an amazing role to help facilitate this marketing and sales alignment.
We get to be a neutral third party to restore communication or optimize systems. And trust us when we say – paying attention to this alignment pays off.
The business and clients that use Pardot and Salesforce well (or tools like them) far exceed, both in size and revenue, the ones that do not. Our job as Salesforce Certified Pardot Consultants is to help create a system that works for your needs so you can dominate your market and scale faster.
If you want more insights like these or need help implementing these tools for your business, let us know – we would love to help you become automation experts to grow your business faster.

Dragon Age: Inquisition Delayed To November
EA brings us more bad news with yet another delay. But at least this one isn't pushed back to 2015. This time, it's BioWare's Dragon Age: Inquisition. The next entry in the Dragon Age series will be getting a delay of approximately six weeks. The game was originally scheduled for release on October 7th, but is now scheduled for November 18th in North America & November 21st in Europe. This information comes from the official site and Mark Darrah, Executive Producer of Dragon Age: Inquisition. He didn't go into too much detail about why the game was being delayed other than to say that the team needs time to polish the game. He also said that they wanted to "strengthen the emotional impact of the Hero's choices."

Battlefield Hardline Delayed To 2015
And yet another title gets delayed until 2015. EA has officially announced via The Battlefield Blog that Battlefield Hardline has been delayed until early 2015. Their reasoning? They want to work more on the multiplayer, single player, and making sure the launch process goes smoothly. Karl Magnus Troedsson, DICE VP & Group GM, describes these things as: Multiplayer Innovation, Single Player Story Depth, & Stability. Basically, he said that the team were taking player feedback received during the beta and wanted to use that to improve the game and because of this the team needs more time.

How not to stimulate an economy? Get rid of more workers. That's a "duh," class.
Reuters Online
Ford to cut shift, 900 jobs at Michigan plant
Tue Feb 16, 2010 2:14pm EST
... Ford will eliminate the shift at the Flat Rock, Michigan plant from July 12, spokeswoman Marcey Evans said.
Most of the workers at the plant, who are represented by the United Auto Workers union, will be offered work at other Ford plants, she said.
Those who are not offered jobs at other Ford facilities will be offered buyouts under the terms of the automaker's contract with the union, she said...
...By reducing the number of "down weeks" when output is shut down in 2010 and increasing the speed of the assembly line from July, Ford expects to increase output this year even after it eliminates the second shift of production, Evans said...
First off, the statement that Ford will "offer" jobs at other plants to the workers is entirely disingenuous. Like everybody else in the nation, most of those workers are underwater on their mortgages and will not be able to sell their homes or move, and most will also have family obligations and spouses with jobs that cannot be transferred, so few if any of the workers will actually be able to accept this "offer," and Ford knows that very well. Most will be laid off and never rehired - that is the intent of the move.
Notice that they still intend to make the same number of cars, however. They will do this by speeding up the assembly line to dangerous speeds, killing and maiming who knows how many workers in the process (who will no doubt get very stingy benefits after having themselves skewered on the altar of the Ford family's already bloated profit margin).
Many readers will remember the original Mr. Ford, builder of the Model-T and other early automobiles, for having great respect for workers and acknowledging that it's pretty useless to not pay workers living wages and to employ so few of them that nobody can actually afford to buy the products being made - and this goes for any factory, not just Ford factories. And yet today's Robber Barons seem to think otherwise. To them, the fewer employed at living wages, the better - but, we have to ask, better for whom?
John Michael Greer
Why factories aren't efficient
Wednesday February 17, 2010
...[E.F. Schumacher's] suggestion, to condense some very subtle thinking into too few words, was that a nation that had a vast labor force but very little money was wasting its time to invest that money in state-of-the-art industrial plants; instead, he suggested, the most effective approach was to equip that vast labor force with tools that would improve their productivity within the existing structures of resource supply, production and distribution. Instead of replacing India's huge home-based spinning and weaving industries with factories, for example, and throwing millions of spinners and weavers out of work, he argued that the most effective use of India's limited resources was to help those spinners and weavers upgrade their skills, spinning wheels, and looms, so they could produce more cloth at a lower price, continue to support themselves by their labor, and in the process make India self-sufficient in clothing production.
This sort of thinking flies in the face of nearly every mainstream economic theory since Adam Smith, granted. Since nearly every mainstream economic theory since Adam Smith has played a sizable role in landing the industrial world in its current mess, though, I'm not so sure this is a bad thing. Current economics dismisses Gandhi's ideas on the grounds of their "inefficiency," but this has to be taken in context, "efficiency," in today's economic jargon, means nothing more or less than efficiency in producing somebody a profit. As a way of keeping millions of people gainfully employed, stabilizing the economy of a desperately poor nation, and preventing its wealth from being siphoned overseas by predatory industrial nations, Gandhi's proposal is arguably very efficient indeed – and this, in turn, was what brought it to the attention of E.F. Schumacher...
...If your goal is to feed, clothe, house, and employ the...people, building a [super "efficient"] factory is a very inefficient way to go about it...
Putting aside the fact that the auto market is oversaturated to begin with, it makes no sense to push more and more people into unemployment or underemployment and expect the economy to still function. Efficiency, like everything else under the sun, is subject to the Law of Diminishing Returns. More efficiency is not better, it just makes things worse after a certain point - and we are long past that point.
So the real solution to the economic problem is not to maximize efficiency and profit by employing fewer and fewer people. It is to accept a much more reasonable level of profit, decrease efficiency to employ more people, and return more of the value of their labor to the workers so that they have living wages and can buy the products of our economy.
That's what any sane culture would do. But it's not what our greed driven culture will do, so count on the collapse of the American economy continuing unabated, as Ford and other Robber Barons continue to strip the economy bare of operating cash - and laugh all the way to the bank doing it.
Not that I would buy a Ford anyway, but it's the principle of the thing. There is no moral and ethical excuse for the obscene bonuses, stock awards, and salaries of today's executives while workers are being dumped onto the street like trash. The economy cannot function like this, and honestly, I don't think anybody intelligent expects it to. They're just strip mining the workers while they still can at Ford (and other places), then they'll jet-set off to their European homes where they have national non-profit single payer healthcare and old age pensions guaranteed.
What does that leave us? Nothing, class. Absolutely nothing.

2018 A1 Drone Helmet
Ratings & Reviews
37 reviews
Excellent fit and quality.
by JAMES TAYLOR
Really pleased with this helmet. Good quality, durable and stylish. I can hardly notice when wearing this helmet, due to its lightweight and comfortable properties. It's got good protection all around my head, covering around my ears and temple. For the price you'd struggle to find a better helmet. 10/10 would recommend.
Fresh, clean, and mean.
by George3
The A1 drone is a real bang for your buck. Not only does it look stylish, but is also very protective, very ventilated and has a light weight to it. One thing I've noticed is that it is surprisingly scratch resistant especially when you have to block those overhead trees when flying down the trail. All in all, this helmet is the perfect fit for any style of riding and will protect your head while keeping it cool at the same time.
Very well ventilated, and a great fit.

I've had a few helmets in this category from Fox and Bell; the TLD A1 is the the coolest (in terms of temperature) and most comfortable. You'll hear this a lot from others - it just fits well and is very comfortable. I'd buy it again.
Great protection

This helmet is super light weight, well ventilated, and very comfortable. Doesn't even feel like a helmet is on your head.

Most Comfortable Helmet Ever!
by Marcus
This is easily the most comfortable helmet I've ever worn. The fit is impeccable and it's light enough that I almost don't notice it. In fact I threw out my old road helmet and wear this for every discipline. Thanks TLD!
by TB
Helmet works good, as it should. Have not fallen on my head to see how good it work but all and all its a awesome helmet.
Stealth Black, Nice!

Stoked on the new A1 Helmet 2016. Way more head coverage than both previous half shells I've had, Giro Feature and Bell Super both did Not feel as protective. I feel like I'm putting my head into a helmet, full wrap around snugness, rather than just placing a helmet on top of my head. Really loving this lid just as I do my 2012 D3 still holding up well.
Top brain bucket.
by rob
The A1 is a great lid. It's a TLD so you probably expect it to be well thought out and it to look good. It's got to be the most comfortable trail-riding helmet I've worn. I've had quite a few different helmets over the years and I knew as soon as I put this A1 on it just felt right. Even the tension wheel is easy to use and gives subtle changes for ever click. One possible drawback would be the ventilation - if its really cracking the flags can get a bit warm but I've never suffered much from that in an English Summer! It's a top brain bucket for the price with a great fit and finish. Buy cheap, buy twice.
AWESOME helmet!!
by Mel
After doing a lot of research, my husband and I decided to get this helmet. It's INCREDIBLE! Not only is it super cool looking...But it is SO comfortable. Most comfortable helmet that I've ever worn BY FAR. I would recommend this helmet to anyone!
Best comfort!
by Joni
The most comfortable openface helmet ever! Same comfort as in D3 fullface helmet. You can't even feel that you have a helmet on and it looks super good on your head!
Pillow for your head
by Gumpster

Sweet Obsession: friends-to-lovers redefined.
OH. MY. GOSH. Sweet Obsession is just too amazing for words! I mean, I personally thought J. Daniels have already written her best yet but then Mason King and Brooke Wicks came along and shot it all down to hell. I've been waiting for this for a long time because ever since I've read about Mason in All I Want, I knew—I just freaking knew—I will love that man. What with that freaking Australian accent, Greek God bod and too-handsome-it-hurts face and hot yoga instructor? You mean that?! OMFG, here take my panties—it's basically useless. And Brooke Wicks? That I-will-wreck-your-penis woman, yeah? Whom I never in a million years thought I'd learn to love? She is one hell of a woman. She loves sex as much as breathing and I believe as much as cupcakes but not enough to give cupcakes up. I love how she's so confident about it and doesn't give a damn about wanting sex. You rock, my girl!
[kindred-recipe id="2292″ title="Sweet Obsession (Sweet Addiction 3)"]
Mason moves out of Alabama to put up his yoga business in Chicago. But I think that's not all there is to it. If my memory serves me right, he tried to go at it with Tessa but failed since Tessa loves another man. I'm not so sure though. But it's all good. He's starting his business and just when he's about to officially open the studio, there goes the wicked, little devil that is Brooke Wicks trying her moves to get in to his pants. Shamelessly. I don't blame Brooke though. I would never. Mason is gorgeous and hot and a girl can only take so much. It's just that this is Brooke we're talking about. She loves sex so much, right? And sex with Mason is no exception. But sex with Mason isn't just sex for Mason. For him, feelings should be involved because he doesn't do senseless fucks now. If anything, it needs depth. Commitment. Communication. Relationship. Waiting. Those things that I definitely agree with.
I am not sure if it's Mason's accent or Mason's persistent and consistent ways of doing things his way that dig Brooke in to try to get around to know Mason first without even having sex with him. And it was phenomenal. It's real. It's there. I love seeing a carefree, confident, happy Brooke who doesn't care if she goes camping even she doesn't even camp. I love the Brooke who cares so much about the people around her enough to deliver cupcakes herself first thing in the morning and give them things that they do not want at all. (I.e. A stuffed, fluffy toy that Mason hates so much). I love the Brooke who's afraid to show her feelings because love is a scary thing. But mostly, I love the Brooke who never gives up on and goes after the love she knows she deserves. There's Mason who's perfect as fuck with his gentle, sweet, and flithy ways to get Brooke to agree to things. I love that he doesn't rush things and instead take his sweet and dirty time to get to know Brooke. I love that he's always there for her. I love that he tries to reveal the Brooke I didn't know existed in the first place. I'm so glad he's the one who made her feel safe and secure. Even without the sex yet. I love how ecstatic he is for every bit of progress he gets out of her. I love how he eases her in to the idea of falling in love with him without her even noticing. It's very sweet and chest-tightening. I really felt his feelings for Brooke. I love that I know what he feels over Brooke. I love how Mason made Brooke feel that.
And when they finally get to it, AHHH MAAAAN IF IT ISN'T HOT AS HELL. Fireworks won't cut it. J. Daniels has mastered the art of explosive sex even without the contact yet. Yeah, that's how sizzling those scenes are. That's all I could say about it. Prepare your spare panties.
J worked her magic well in capturing Mason and Brooke's feelings, desires and hurt in Sweet Obsession. She has also perfected her craft for that perfect timing of pace, character growth and plot twists. Always the plot twists. If you've read her previous books, you'd know what I mean. It's excellent. It made Sweet Obsession even sweeter and deeper with feelings. And funnier because of our own Joey. Gosh, I love him! Sweet Addiction series won't be complete without him. J should write a book about him, really. He deserves it.
In the end, I am so happy that J. Daniels exceeded my expectations on Sweet Obsession. Again. When will I ever learn? This is J. Daniels and she is downright amazing; it always hurts to finish reading her books. Sweet Obsession is not an exception.
