Introduction
As a B2B business ourselves, we understand the complexities you may have to go through while planning your marketing campaigns and strategy. The truth is- the days of generic and impersonal campaigns are long gone.
Nowadays, buyers expect a personalized experience, tailored content that aligns with their specific needs, and seamless interactions throughout the customer journey.
But managing these complexities in a B2B environment, with intricate buyer personas and long sales cycles, can be tremendously challenging.
However, several other businesses like yours struggle with it and manage to overcome it and drive success.
Keeping this in mind, we will share how Cymetrix, a leading Salesforce Partner Company, helped an Energy company overcome its challenges with Salesforce marketing automation.
Initial Marketing Struggles of the B2B Energy Company
Believe it or not, a surprising 69% of companies struggle to break down data silos and gain a unified view of their customers. It can be a primary hurdle for B2B marketing automation, and our client, a leading global energy company, was no exception.
For them, siloed data across disparate systems led to a frustrating game of whack-a-mole: duplicated efforts, inconsistent messaging, and scattered targeting always left them with a lack of clarity, when they tried to understand their complex B2B buyer journeys.
Without a centralized platform, campaign performance was unclear, making it difficult to track ROI and refine strategies based on real-time data. Essentially, they could not truly see and understand their audience, hindering their ability to deliver targeted campaigns that resonated.
This lack of comprehensive client behavior tracking and limited data analytics capabilities made it nearly impossible to personalize marketing efforts and derive actionable insights to optimize their B2B marketing strategy.

Our approach to power up B2B Marketing Success
Once we had a clear idea of the client’s requirements, we knew the key to unlocking the client’s B2B marketing potential lies in using a custom strategy that addresses their specific pain points.
So, here’s how we leveraged Salesforce and Cymetrix expertise to transform their marketing game:
Unifying the Marketing Ecosystem
The foundation of our approach involved breaking down data silos. We integrated the client’s existing Sales Cloud with Marketing Cloud, creating a seamless flow of information and streamlining processes. It ensured better alignment between sales and marketing teams, fostering a more collaborative approach.
End-to-End Campaign Management
Marketing Cloud became the central hub for crafting and executing impactful campaigns. We utilized Marketing Cloud’s suite of powerful tools like AMPScript, Journey Builder, Data Extensions, and Audience Builder. That allowed targeted audience segmentation, personalized email marketing with Email Studio, and social media engagement through Social Studio.
Streamlined Email Marketing Workflows
The strategy of generic mass email blasts doesn’t work anymore! Accordingly, we leveraged Salesforce’s Sales Cloud and Marketing Cloud integration to create a smooth email marketing workflow. That includes crafting customized email templates, scheduling targeted campaigns, segmenting audiences based on specific criteria, and executing mass mailing efficiently.
As a result, it empowered the client with granular control over their email outreach, ensuring targeted messaging reached the right audience at the right time.
Data-Driven B2B Marketing
Data is king in B2B marketing automation, and our team placed a strong emphasis on robust tracking mechanisms. We implemented solutions to monitor campaign performance, client interactions, and the all-important ROI. This data-driven approach allowed the client to measure success, identify areas for improvement, and refine their strategies for maximum impact.
Automated and Personalized Marketing
We automated several key Salesforce campaign processes, including contact segmentation, email template customization, A/B testing, and real-time dashboard creation. That freed up valuable time for the client’s marketing team, allowing them to focus on more strategic initiatives. Additionally, through automation and unified customer insights, we enable them to personalize each interaction with customers.
What were the results?
The impact of our team’s approach was undeniable. By harnessing the power of Salesforce Marketing Automation and our deep expertise in the Salesforce platform, we transformed the client’s B2B marketing landscape. Here’s a glimpse into the results that clients observed:
- ROI Clarity: Enhanced campaign tracking with Salesforce provided the client with a crystal-clear view of their marketing ROI. They could now understand which campaigns were delivering the most value, allowing them to make data-driven decisions and optimize future efforts for maximum return on investment.
- Increase in Cross and Upselling: Improved client tracking capabilities within Salesforce unearthed valuable cross-selling opportunities. That not only boosted customer lifetime value but also opened doors to increased revenue streams for the B2B energy company.
- Qualified Leads: Precise audience targeting with Salesforce resulted in a surge of qualified leads. That led to a happier and more productive sales team, empowered with high-quality prospects ready to convert.
- Enhanced Client Interaction: A unified Salesforce platform provided a 360-degree view of the customer, enabling the client to craft highly targeted messages and personalized experiences. That resulted in a measurable increase in client engagement, fostering stronger brand loyalty.
- Efficiency Unleashed: Seamless integration across the Sales and Marketing cloud streamlined marketing workflows, eliminating the need for manual data entry and repetitive tasks. This newfound efficiency freed up valuable time for the marketing team, allowing them to focus on strategic initiatives, such as campaign optimization.
