Hi Morgan - we have forms for each language and have found this to be the easiest way.  Lead lifecycle, scoring, etc., regardless of language, is all done out of the same program.  Unless of course you want to score these regions/languages differently.  ... View more

Hi Laetitia - the screenshots are not showing up for me.  Just followed you so we can use the email function to chat on this. ... View more

Hi Chris - an interesting angle.  I can see it working though on Sunday nights for sure - particularly on events.  We've had success late afternoon on Friday which was quite surprising. The content is a bit lighter and trend focused - something people are more open to relaxing over I think before the end of the week? ... View more

Thanks, Brittany! ... View more

Hi Jessica - we are looking for tools that help sales distribute content marketing easily and boost social sharing.  Our system right now is disjointed with emails housed in one place, content marketing in another and all of it not necessarily coming through and being tracked in Marketo as sales distributes it outside of our marketing bubble. ...

Hi Samantha - Everyone on my team has gone through the foundation training.  It is a must in my opinion and sets you up for the basics.  I would normally suggest that the team member go through as many of the training documents beforehand to ensure they really are ready for foundation training, but you might not need this given your past experience. ...

Hi Allison, We currently do up to, I think, five languages within one campaign across email and landing pages.  I'd recommend using tokens for almost all, if not all, of the email content.  The email looks essentially blank in the editor.  This makes creation and editing much easier, less error prone and quicker.  We also always wrap up the English language version first, than get the content translated, to avoid having to make changes to the other languages later, which adds significant time and cost if you have to end up doing it.  Also consider the timing of your campaigns to go to each language/time zone at the right time.  This makes a big difference in open rates. If you do extend this to landing pages make sure to translate the forms, thank you pages, etc.  This all adds up to higher conversion rates for us.  And I'd definitely encourage you to take the time to use more languages when possible.  Our conversion rates have gone up as much as 30% when we communicate in the local language.

Great idea, Pierce.  First, even getting ready and set up for reporting is/was a challenge.  You cannot just turn on RCE and it work beautifully, though that is often what is promised.  What detail/data/systems required to even begin reporting was not easy to determine and often was trial and error for us.  I'd agree with Justin on multi-channel attribution.  Specifically, we are in the midst of building our social attribution/reporting model and all the nitty gritty detail that entails. ...

Hi Deidre - in the editor our custom fonts often don't come through, but once live are perfectly fine. ... View more

Hi Charlie - when this happens I try to send a sample to my gmail account and 95% of the time it does go through there.  Our email servers, despite Marketo being whitelisted, still catch these emails off and on. Give that a try and if it doesn't go through, I'd put in a ticket with Marketo. ... View more

Charles - you are the first fellow Wrike user I've found here. This would be a great feature if you manage to sort it out! ... View more

Thank you, Phillip. Do you mean labels/tagging with Marketo? Or within your own excel sheet. ... View more

Jessica - very helpful to have all in one place.  Thank you for organizing it.  What does your documentation looks like for test results? Do you use a tool of some sort or just excel? ... View more

Thanks, Joe!  Nice meeting you yesterday. My company is on a good path but only after having to go through many trial and error moments the past few years.  I still find little things here and there that would make our jobs easier if laid out in a bit more detail in the Marketo docs or within the community.  I'm hoping that if this topic is addressed in an upcoming chat that it would assist other companies and if the discussion starts looking at far more mature instances, my company could benefit as well. Thanks again! ... View more

Very interested in bench-marking where instances should be amongst other Marketo users and industry peers.  It's hard to tell where we should be. ... View more

Hi Scott - We used to use Basecamp calendars but that was the only feature of Basecamp that really worked for us.  We've recently switched to Wrike which has some very good calendar/planning views which is much more task oriented than Basecamp was, a plus for my team.  We also use a calendar in Salesforce for sales staff to see upcoming events, speaking slots, etc. In general, I want my team to have the fewest things to update as possible so Wrike is our go to planning tool. ...

Hi James - We keep our unsubscribed contacts to stay compliant with their wishes and instead clean up through a variety of other nightly batches related to hard bounces, lack of activity, etc.  I'd suggest doing that over wiping them based on unsubscribes. ... View more

Thank you, Josh.  We seem to have more rules, lead routes and queues than two or three organizations combined given our business model, thus why complete automation has been elusive thus far. We do not have a SDR team though it has peaked the interest of our sales board as of late. ... View more

Hi Michael - I echo Kim's suggestion.  Engagement programs are a great fit for you. If you are looking to run up scores - try adding web activity campaigns.  If lead visits x amount of pages in x amount of time, send them this piece of content or a related offer.  Because it is triggered on their activity, open rates were stellar and we had a few hundred qualify for this in the first few weeks of setting it up, far exceeding my expectations. ...
