Getting to grips with any new marketing automation software takes time. This is especially true for a full-featured software like Pardot, which doesn’t come packaged up with an easy to understand Pardot user guide. Unfortunately, time is something most Marketing Managers and external marketing consultants don’t have much of.
The go-to solution then is usually to bring in finland phone code an expert; a Pardot specialist who can implement, audit, and manage Pardot marketing automation software in their sleep. With a Pardot specialist in the co-pilot seat, you save yourself the learning curve, avoid simple mistakes, and get the support you need to set up your software as best as possible to generate ROI. Of course, all that tailored servicing comes at a price.
The usual cost of working with a marketing automation consultant can be from £3000 upwards. That’s no small change! Whilst there are many benefits to having a one-to-one, bespoke support service, it is now possible to quickly start your Pardot implementation without relying on a consultant’s schedule. That possibility comes in the form of the newest MarCloud Consulting online course; the DIY Pardot Implementation Course.
As of this week, you can easily access this step-by-step Pardot user guide and use it to implement Pardot at a pace you choose.
Want to stay up all night swotting up on Pardot implementation? Fancy getting set up in twenty-four hours so you can start recouping your investment as soon as possible? Or perhaps you’re a consultant with an urgent client need and you want to learn Pardot as fast as you can. You can do it. Although, we’d recommend sleeping at some point!
