REVIEWSIn the fast-paced world of marketing, it’s essential to have the right tools and technology to stay ahead of the competition. Salesforce has become a leader in the CRM space. Their marketing automation platform for customer engagement, Pardot, has become equally popular. It’s a great choice for businesses looking to improve their marketing efforts for B2B and ‘considered purchases’ (think: a house, a car, insurance, mortgage or a Cartier watch) in B2C. But what about the Salesforce Service Cloud? How does it fit into the picture, and what benefits can it bring to your marketing strategy? In this article, we’ll explore the power of combining Service Cloud and Pardot to drive better results for your business.
What is Salesforce Service Cloud?
Salesforce Service Cloud is a cloud-based customer service platform designed to help businesses improve the customer experience. It’s not just to serve existing customers. It’s for new enquiries and thus sales too!
This platform offers a range of features. Most notable are its features for case management, knowledge management, and community management. All three make it easier for businesses to manage customer interactions and provide high-quality support. It also includes an add-on called ‘Digital Engagement’, which brings Whatsapp, SMS, Facebook Messenger, web chat and chatbots into Salesforce.
