Standardized Marketo Dashboards Deliver 100% Pipeline Visibility Across Global Teams

Client Overview — A B2B Enterprise Struggling to Prove Marketing’s Impact

A leading B2B technology company relied heavily on Marketo and Salesforce for demand generation. While campaigns generated leads across multiple regions, the marketing team consistently struggled to demonstrate how their efforts contributed to pipeline and revenue. This disconnect between sales and marketing made it difficult to secure budgets and build trust at the leadership level.

Challenges — Blind Spots in Reporting and Misaligned Metrics

• Fragmented Data Sources: Campaign performance data lived in silos across Marketo, Salesforce, and regional tools.
• Inconsistent Attribution Models: Different teams tracked metrics differently, making it impossible to compare results.
• No Clear View of ROI: Leadership lacked visibility into how marketing campaigns influenced opportunities and closed deals.
• Lost Credibility with Sales: Without trusted numbers, sales teams questioned marketing’s contribution to revenue.
