Pardot

---

I have extensive hands-on experience working with some of the most recognized Email Marketing and CRM platforms, including Microsoft Dynamics, ClickDimensions, HubSpot, Eloqua, MailChimp, and Marketo. However, I have been particularly impressed with Salesforce and Pardot due to their seamless integration and the exceptional quality of support provided. 

Together, Salesforce and Pardot function as a powerful combined solution, with Salesforce enabling advanced sales enablement functionalities and Pardot serving as a comprehensive Marketing, CRM, and Email platform.

Recently, I had the opportunity to meet our Pardot team at the Excel Centre in London’s Docklands as part of their Small to Medium Business (SMB) initiative. During this meeting, I connected with Ronan Twohig and was introduced to Emer Merriman. 

Our discussions quickly focused on optimization strategies for Salesforce and Pardot integration. I expressed interest in gaining deeper insights into marketing ROI metrics and was informed about the B2B Marketing Analytics Suite, a critical tool I was not yet utilizing. We arranged a follow-up demo to explore this solution further and uncover best practices for Salesforce-Pardot integration.

Ronan also inquired about the progress of our Pardot implementation, which I had previously discussed during a client meeting at The Shard. I was proud to share the results from the initial two months. Within the first week, I developed and presented a comprehensive marketing plan to my CMO, which was later approved. 

By the end of the second week, Pardot was successfully implemented across all our marketing campaigns. Emer commended the rapid progress, but I attributed this success to Pardot’s intuitive design and extensive resources, which make onboarding efficient and accessible.

Notably, the system has worked so effectively that we have extended its use beyond the original scope. While my role focuses on B2B marketing, I leveraged Pardot to manage B2C email campaigns with over 80,000 contacts, ensuring scalability and impact. This adaptability is crucial in fast-moving startups where resourcefulness often defines success.

My expertise is backed by experience driving growth for leading organizations, including:

• Zscaler
• Visual IQ
• Sigma Systems
• InPost

These achievements underline my ability to deliver strategic results in B2B SaaS environments, utilizing innovative technologies and data-driven strategies. For companies aiming to enhance revenue, optimize operations, or align marketing with sales enablement, I bring a proven track record of delivering impactful outcomes.

In fact, it's worked so well that I've even begun using it for more extensive B-2-C lists, of over 80,000 contacts. B2C is not typically in my remit. But in the start-up world, you do what you can to help.
