CUSTOMER CONTACT - SCORING DILEMMA
In a virtual meeting, a marketing executive in
business attire, speaks directly to the camera. The screen displays the executive's name and title (CMO).
CMO
It's nice to meet you. Welcome to our growing B2B tech SaaS company. I heard you've spoken with the CIO.
Good. Listen, I have a specific concern I'd like you to evaluate.
Marketing, my team, we're really ramping up our demand generation activities. We have a lot of leads coming in and we are pushing over an increasing amount of marketing qualified leads to the inside sales team.
(shakes their head)
The volume we're pushing-inside sales is just
getting inundated, and they don't know how to prioritize or who to follow up with first. My team has a lot of data and context to send over to the sales team, but it's just too much for them to take in all at once. I don't want us to waste these opportunities. Tell me, how can I use scoring to help with this challenge we're in9 FADE OUT:
THE END
At Treat Snack Inc, a company that specializes in unique local ethnic snacks, the new CMO is being bombarded by complaints from the sales team that a high volume of MQLs are being delivered to the sales team. There is no context around why they reached MQL, what it is about them, as well as what they did that caused them to MQL. The CMO decides to overhaul the entire scoring system and build a new method from scratch.
The Sales team is interviewed to understand what indicated a good person to speak with who has a high likelihood of wanting to take a meeting. The Sales team reports that their best leads have the following traits in order of priority starting with the most helpful trait:
1. People who attended a webinar on different types of treats enjoyed in different global regions
2. People who have a title of director and higher, followed by whether the account was larger than 1000 employees
3. People who work for companies that look similar to companies that they have sold to previously
4. People who have a high interest in their chocolate tasting line of products
5. People who search the web for wholesale suppliers of gourmet treats
In which order should the different types of scoring be rolled out?

• A. Predictive, Behavior Demographic, Intent, Product
• B. Behavior, Intent, Demographic, Product, Predictive
• C. Behavior, Demographic, Predictive, Product, Intent

UNICORN FINTECH COMPANY PROFILE
Unicorn Fintech is a mobile-only financial-servicesstartup created by a consortium of consumer banks to resell savings, checking, loan, transfer/remittance, and other services from a secure smartphone app. The company is venture-funded, and plans to reach profitability before a planned IPO in two years.
Business issues and requirements
Marketing is responsible for acquiring new customers 0 through online, television advertising, and email campaigns, and for cross-selling new services to customers through IM, email, and in-app campaigns.
Evaluating the success of these campaigns has been a persistent problem: although the company can track revenue by product line, it can't attribute those revenues to campaigns: for example, did a new loan come from onboarding a new customer, or by cross-selling a savings-account customer? Marketing currently uses crude, manual tools and guesswork to evaluate the quality and lifespan of new leads, and even the deliverability of emails in its external campaigns. As a result, the department can't allocate spending to the most productive campaigns, or decide how much different touchpoints in multi-stage campaigns contribute to revenue. Operational processes to connect lead data to CRM and other databases are entirely manual.
Staffing and leadership
Unicorn has fewer than 200 employees, and roles aren't always defined in traditional ways. Since customer acquisition and cross-selling are primarily through electronic channels, Marketing and IT roles especially often overlap. The traditional Sales role falls entirely to Marketing, and IT is responsible for the Salesforce CRM system, Google Analytics, and a handful of third-party integrations. The CMO and CIO work closely together on most initiatives, and budgets are typically project-driven rather than fixed annually. Individual contributors to Marketing campaigns include the Marketing Operations Manager, responsible for lead scoring and analytics. Key IT contacts include the CRM Administrator and Web Developer. Incidental contributors are the Corporate Attorney, who signs off on opt-in/out and DMARC policies.
Revenue sources
Unicorn earns commissions on financial services delivered by the banking consortium through its apps, including fixed finders' fees for what the company calls "skips"-customers who initially engage with Unicorn, but then "skip" to receive services directly from a consortium bank. Unicorn needs to attribute revenue from these customers to its own campaigns; currently, it's impossible to attribute ROI to individual campaigns, or provide documentation to claim commissions on "skips." Current and aspirational marketing technology Current Marketing technology consists of Marketable,an open-source lead management solution supported by a set of spreadsheets and scripts developed in-house. Marketable offers lead tracking and source attribution, but not multi-touch source attribution. Unicorn Fintech Marketing has difficulty linking the different stages of customer campaign journeys, and relies on scripts to translate Marketable's "sales alerts" into next steps it could use in multi-touch campaigns. IT has worked out scripts to input Marketable qualified leads into Salesforce, but the system is brittle and often requires manual intervention.
Current campaign management processes
A typical email campaign:
* Addresses a purchased (for customer acquisition) or0 in-house (for cross-sell) list. Purchased lists range from
300,000 to 1.5 million addresses
* Is sent from multiple data centers in the US and Canada
* Includes an "unsubscribe" opt-out below the message
* Is static; there are no formula fields
* Uses no deliverability authentication, nor integration 0 with any email management platform.
All campaigns to date direct respondents to a single 0 landing page with the company's "all markets" message.
More sophisticated targeting is a high priority.
Current lead management and attribution
Unicorn's lead-management process follows
Marketable's "out of the box" defaults: lead evaluation levels 1 through 3, lifecycle stages "unqualified" and
"qualified." The qualification processes are manual, and highly subjective: Marketing staff classify leads according to prospect email responses, including free-form comments. "Sales" followup is by email forms prompting higher levels of engagement. The company intends to phase out Marketable and replace spreadsheets and scripts with native features of whatever solution set it adopts.
Attribution processes are binary: response to a campaign email or web visit is rated a success if it results in a sale: there is no success rating assigned to TV ads that result in web visits, for example. Cost are not allocated to individual campaigns.
The Marketing department plans to expand outreach to social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, in-house and third-party financial blogs), and wants to make sure it can assess the ROI of these channels, and the overall social media program.
Current governance processes
Currently, the Marketing department assigns content development and campaign management duties to team members on a campaign-by-campaign basis. All team members (and IT) have access to all assets and tools, which sometimes leads to duplication and conflicts. The CMO realizes that a more specialization will be necessary to support the social media campaigns, but hasn't decided on the optimal organizational model.
Input of qualified leads from Marketable into
Salesforce is by manual cut-and-paste, assisted by scripts; inconsistency of input practices across Marketing team members is a known problem; individual members have their own "go-to" fields: where one member might check "TV ad" as Lead Source, another would put that in the comments field.
CMO
The CMO's most important concerns are:
* The current solution has too many manual steps to scale with anticipated growth
* Without more sophisticated attribution, the company will overinvest in less productive campaigns, and underinvest in better ones
* In general, analytics integrations are manual, slow, and unreliable
* The current system completely misses "skips"-customers switching from the Unicorn app to consortium banks-an important source of revenue
* Documenting the value of Unicorn's Marketing processes is essential to the success of the planned IPO, and millions of dollars in stock valuation hangs in the balance.
CIO
The CIO is concerned primarily with:
* The amount of time his team spends patching up Marketing campaigns and CRM data transfers, at the expense of other, critical initiatives
* Quality and reliability of the Analytics information his team provides to Marketing MARKETING STAFF Marketing Operations staff concerns:
* Campaigns require so much work that they can't run as many of them as they need to
* Multi-touch cross-selling campaigns (for example, savings accounts to loans) with excellent margins, but no way to know which campaign touches perform best
* Getting swamped with manual record-keeping; for example, spreadsheet mistakes take hours to find and fix
* Poor integration with third-party tools for preparing, sending, and evaluating campaign materials, for Example.
o Webhook not firing,
o Reaching API limit
o Synchronization errors with third-party tools and Salesforce
* Inadequate number of lead stages and qualification levels, making it difficult to evaluate lead value, especially in multi-touch campaigns Despite the absence of an external Sales team, Marketing Operations would like to improve the granularity of their lead tracking, including both lifecycle stages and quality levels, with "no score" and negative levels.
Unicorn Fintech is using Salesforce and Adobe Marketo Engage. They want to change their lead sync and lead routing rules for new leads that are generated through Marketo Engage forms. The Marketing Operations Manager needs to help them build new automation. Leads must reach a minimum lead score of 50 prior to being synced for Inside Sales to follow up. Prior to syncing to Salesforce, they want to make sure that each lead has a minimum data set of lead source and country. The Inside Sales Managers in each region cannot agree on a single global process for which leads should be assigned to which Inside Sales reps once the leads are created in Salesforce. They want the flexibility to decide at the country level.
What is the most appropriate, scalable process for the Marketing Operations Manager to build?

• A. Include country as a form field, use a hidden field to populate lead source, trigger the sync immediately, and assign to a country lead queue
• B. Use inferred data to populate the country field, use a hidden field to populate lead source, trigger the sync when the person reaches 50 points, and assign to an Inside Sales rep
• C. Use inferred data to populate the country and lead source fields, trigger the sync immediately, and assign directly to the Inside Sales Managers in each region
• D. Include country as a form field, use a hidden field to populate lead source, trigger the sync when the person reaches 50 points, and assign to a country lead queue

An Adobe Marketo Engage Architect needs to audit an existing Marketo Engage instance. Upon inspection, more than 1000 fields that only live in Marketo Engage were created for a single use to collect information for a specific event, or ask a specific question during the registration of an event.
What should the Architect recommend to their client regarding field creation best practices?

• A. Create a set of temporary program member fields (PMCF String 1, PMCF String 2, PMCF Boolean 1, PMCF Boolean 2) and utilize those fields on a local form for every event that requires custom questions.
  No additional action is needed to retain the data.
• B. Create a set of temporary program member fields (PMCF String 1, PMCF String 2, PMCF Boolean 1, PMCF Boolean 2) and utilize those fields on a local form for every event that requires custom questions.
  Add them to a static list if data needs to be retained.
• C. Create a set of temporary person fields (temp_string 1, temp.string 2, temp.date 1, temp.date 2) and utilize those fields on a local form for every event that requires custom questions. Add them to a static list if data needs to be retained. Clear the data from the temporary fields at the end of the event for utilization by another program.

Unicorn has been having an issue with data quality coming from their Adobe Marketo Engage instance. An audit finds that a key issue is that Marketers and IT members lacked knowledge in best practice processes for the following tasks:
* Importing data to Marketo Engage or CRM in incorrect format or with old information
* Setting up forms to comply with Data Standardization (such as String Country fields to fill out)
* Importing large purchased lists without any minimal validation
Unicorn agrees with the auditor's recommendations to roll out enablement as part of a way to solve the problems.
Which two steps should be a part of this enablement? (Choose two.)

• A. Align IT and Marketing Ops teams on what level of responsibility each team should have on data management in Marketo Engage
• B. Remove access to users who are the 'worst offenders' until they have successfully passed the Marketo Certified Associate Exam
• C. Set up training sessions that covers List Import and Form best practices for both day-to-day users and Marketo Engage 'Power Users'
• D. Buy lists from a third-party data provider that are GDPR compliant with no country values
• E. Set up a Roles and Permissions workshop with the CMO and CIO to capture and enforce the right level of access for level of Marketo Engage usage

An organization wants to improve its Lead routing to its team across regions. Instead of using their default workspace and partition for region/country specific marketing on top of global operations, they currently have four 'regions' that cover six countries, each with their own Lead partition and Workspaces:
* EMEA: UK and Belgium
* ANZ: Australia and New Zealand
* NAM: USA
* ASIA: Japan
Singapore will be added as an additional country within 6 months.
As the organization moves away from the highly manual process of assigning leads as 'ready', the goal is to use their new Lead scoring to state that leads that are above 60 in Score are marked as MQL, and are synced to the right country team queue in their CRM. The CRM will then use automated workflows to take leads from the queues and decide which leads are assigned to which representative for that country.
Which efficient measures should betaken to make sure Leads from the right countries are synced to the correct queues in the CRM?

• A. Build program in default workspace. When the score reaches 60, trigger the Salesforce sync and assign to lead queues based on country. For example, "If Country is USA, Assign to USA lead queue".
• B. Build program in each region workspace. When the score reaches 60, trigger the Salesforce sync and assign to lead queues based on region. For example, "If Partition is ASIA, Assign to ASIA queue".
• C. Build program in each region workspace. When the score reaches 60, trigger the Salesforce sync and assign to lead queues based on country. For example, "If Country is USA, Assign to USA lead queue".
• D. Build program in default workspace. When the score reaches 60, trigger the Salesforce sync and assign to lead queues based on region. For example, If Partition is ASIA, Assign to ASIA queue".
