In Marketo’s language ,
Marketable People : The number of all-time people for the workspace listed, minus the following: people without an email address, people whose email has hard bounced, people that are blocklisted, people that have unsubscribed, people currently set to Marketing Suspended. This is what we see in the system-created dashboard.
As Katja mentions, this is only a functional definition - that these are a count of ‘effective’ records to send emails to.
However, there’re ways to manage hard bounces, blocklisted people, unsubscriptions, and flagging people as Marketing Suspended.
It’s always better to treat system fields as they are, and align on definitions by the system itself. So if you want to call compliant people as Marketable, consider a different term, as Marketable is taken.
For example, we can use a term called ‘Marketing Eligible’ which can be based on Compliance, Data Quality Grades, Fit, Lead Stage, and more tags you may think of.
One could treat a person as Marketing eligible, if the person is compliant (GDPR compliant if applicable, CASL compliant if applicable, and so on), meets the threshold for data quality grades (should honor the data quality standards), is considered a good fit to market (qualifies for your target market segments), is at the right stage (you may not want to market to SALs) and more - and, is Marketable.
