B2B marketing in itself has a wide spectrum. To perform sales and marketing, several activities have to be taken care of for example, managing the contacts, processing orders, management of inventory, sharing the information with related departments and contacts, tracking the order, regular analysis of the sales, evaluation of employees’ performance, managing the customers, maintaining contact with them. All of these activities have to be performed efficiently to function as healthy and successful sales. Now what Pardot does is address all of these activities by bringing automation into the picture. Hence, Pardot is widely and commonly referred to as B2B Marketing Automation.
