Can we do this? A place to vent our frustrations about Marketo/being an admin? We love the system but sometimes it just about sends us over the edge. I'm thinking that with venting there will also be creativity for solutions.
I'll give an example
I'm trying to test out using tokens and dynamic content to become scalable in our biggest operational programs (renewals) and go from 100+ emails down to 15. I finally came up with an idea to eliminate the dynamic content need and just use a Marketo only formula field. Testing of current formula fields went well so I go to create the formula field only to discover you can't use Account information to create formula fields! Ugh.
I didn't know you could make marketo-only formula fields? Really?
Also, I'd LOVE to hear what you guys are doing for renewals in Marketo. I'm currently starting the planning process here, and find most content is focused on demand gen, not renewals.
