Hi Autumn,

Thanks for the feedback.  Its very hard to get into the specifics in that short period of time, but each one of these tips is based on my experience working with Marketo.

Just a couple of expansions on what I want to get across:

• Program statuses are needed to be set up correctly in Marketo along with alignment with sales to ensure that you know the stages that your leads will go through in each type of campaign and what is classes as a success to then help with lead scoring and passing on properly qualified leads to sales.
• Email templates in Marketo have to be coded correctly to work on all platforms and devices.  If they're not coded in the way that Marketo needs it then it won't send the emails in the correct format.

I hope this goes into a little more details about how these were Marketo specific?

Please feel free to reach out with any more questions and feedback.

Thanks Juli James​! If you had a sample of how you document your Marketo best practices, I'd love to see it.

Sage advice!

Alignment is so critical but one of the biggest challenges our organization faces. It's a work in progress for us and slowly getting better. Thanks for the tips!

Great

Love the point about documenting what you're doing! So often we're asked to move so fast that documentation falls to the wayside, but it is incredibly important. That's my fave tip

[Tom_Liolios4]

Good tips! Especially the marketing/sales alignment. Too many people forget about that when they start out with Marketo.

[Sean_Switzer]

Agree with almost everyone's feedback!
