USA Consulting Firm Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Implementation

The consulting firm needed to scale marketing within its shared Salesforce environment while maintaining independence.

 

UTDS connected Salesforce, Account Engagement, and ZoomInfo to automate prospect generation and improve lead prioritisation.

About the client

Specialised US consulting firm providing strategic advisory, organisational transformation, and operational excellence services to mid-market and enterprise clients. The sales team already used the parent company’s Salesforce environment, but the subsidiary had no marketing automation and relied heavily on manual outreach. They needed to scale their marketing efforts while keeping their operations separate within the shared Salesforce environment.

Challenge

Scale Prospect Generation Without Losing Independence
The US consulting firm wanted to introduce marketing automation and smarter prospecting without creating a separate Salesforce environment. They needed to integrate ZoomInfo with their existing CRM, automate prospect generation, and systematically nurture leads while keeping the subsidiary’s marketing activities separate. The solution also needed to maintain clean data, prevent duplicates, and help sales prioritise prospects that fit their ideal customer profile.

Data Quality & Reporting

The solution needed deduplication, reliable data flows and reporting across Salesforce and Account Engagement to maintain data quality and measure marketing performance.

Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Implementation

UTDS implemented Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement within the existing Salesforce environment, giving the subsidiary its own marketing automation, lead scoring, grading, and analytics without requiring a separate Salesforce org.

Custom Business Unit Segmentation

UTDS introduced a custom Business Unit field with rules to ensure prospects were consistently assigned to the correct entity.

ZoomInfo Integration

UTDS connected ZoomInfo with Salesforce, allowing sales reps to add prospects with one click and automatically identify prospects matching the target profile.

Automated Data Flow

UTDS connected ZoomInfo, Salesforce, and Account Engagement so prospects move automatically through the system with the correct field and campaign data.

Lead Scoring & Grading

UTDS configured scoring and grading to assess prospect engagement and fit, helping sales prioritise the prospects most aligned with the firm's ideal customer profile.

Marketing Campaign Framework

UTDS created the core marketing assets, including email templates, landing pages, forms, segmentation, dynamic content, and engagement programs, giving the team reusable tools for ongoing campaigns and prospect nurturing.

Reporting, Testing & Training

UTDS configured Salesforce and Account Engagement reporting for campaign, lead, and conversion visibility, then tested the full setup and provided training and documentation.

Results

The new setup made prospect generation faster and more scalable.
Adding researched prospects to Salesforce dropped from 10–15 minutes to seconds.
Business Unit assignment, lead scoring, and reporting help the team manage prospects and prioritise the strongest opportunities.
