Introducing the new Business Card Scanner app for Pardot! Pardot users can now import prospect information to their account instantly with the Pardot Business Card Scanner app from MarCloud Technologies. Read on to hear about all the powerful features!
This blog was written before Pardot was renamed to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. You can read more about the name change and what it means here.
For years, entering business card information for the prospects we meet at offline events or meetings into Pardot has been a manual process, or skips Pardot and goes straight into Salesforce… until now.
As of August 2021, Pardot users can import prospect information to their account instantly with the Pardot Business Card Scanner app from MarCloud Technologies, keeping them aligned with best practices.
Before I share all the powerful features of the app with you, let’s discuss why it’s even needed.
Business Card Scanner App for Pardot:
It’s 6pm and Mark is sitting down for the first time in 8 hours.
As the Sales Director for his company, he’s spent the day at a high profile networking event. It’s been a successful one, with plenty of ideal prospects in the room. There are some tough targets for Mark and his team to hit this year, so every single lead counts.
Shrugging off his suit jacket, Mark pulls out his wallet, which threatens to rip open thanks to the bulk of business cards he’s collected.
He’d really love nothing more than to take a shower and relax in front of the TV right now but the last time Mark didn’t enter new business card details into Pardot straight away, he accidentally spilled coffee on them and lost half of the email addresses.
So, with a sigh and rubbing his tired eyes, Mark fires up his laptop and prepares to manually add thirty new prospects, one by one…
You might be thinking that during COVID times, offline events are a rare occurrence and right now they might be - but they definitely are not obsolete.
Face-to-face, physical events will resume, be it trade shows, networking events, seminars or simply meeting a stranger on the train who happens to be a potential new customer.
And when the time comes, you don’t want to be like Mark.
With the Business Card Scanner app for Pardot, collecting prospect details will be much simpler, less time consuming and more accurate.
Purpose-built for Pardot and its users, the mobile app will allow you to simply scan a prospect’s business card and add them as a prospect instantaneously.
As you upload a new prospect, you can add comments so you know exactly what you talked to them about and instantly add them to specific Campaigns and Engagement Studios.
You don’t even need wifi to upload the business card as you’ll be able to use 4G/5G phone signal!
Doing so means you can:
I should mention here, that the app is brought to you by a team of Pardot experts who have either experienced the hassle of manual data entry themselves or have clients who repeatedly have to do so.
