Some things are better separate. Here’re a few examples:  pizza and bananas, French fries and ice cream, and certain Pardot prospects.   Sometimes Pardot prospects need to be segregated. Keeping them apart makes more sense. Or, for system configuration or legal reasons, marketers do NOT want prospects intermingling. What are Pardot business units? Marketers can separate their Pardot database into groups…

Pardot Segmentation

Pardot Segmentation Techniques – Prospects Can Enrich Their Own Data

In marketing automation, good content isn’t enough – you need to ensure you send the right message to the right person.
