Project Overview

Salesforce Integration for Marketing Streamline the sales process by integrating marketing materials such as case studies and success stories directly into Salesforce, giving sales teams quick and easy access to the content they need.

Streamlined Marketing Access in Salesforce Centralize all marketing materials, including case studies and success stories, in Salesforce. This ensures that sales teams can access relevant content quickly, improving efficiency and saving time.

Custom Salesforce App Development eSparkbiz developed a custom Salesforce app using Lightning Component to integrate marketing content with Salesforce. Available on AppExchange, this solution helps clients improve marketing content accessibility within both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience

Effortless Marketing Content Search Enable sales teams to easily search for marketing materials based on customizable criteria such as account name, industry, and deal size. This feature enhances the speed and accuracy of finding the right resources for sales opportunities.

Optimized Sales Workflow via Integration Improve the sales workflow by providing a seamless connection between the Client’s website and Salesforce, allowing sales teams to quickly access marketing materials, reducing manual effort and ensuring timely resource availability.

The Problem

The Client had several pain points regarding the management, accessibility, and searchability of the marketing materials used by sales teams to close deals.

Disorganization of Marketing Materials

The marketing materials were not centrally located and had a disorganized format for uploading, storage, and access, which confused the sales teams as they could not readily locate the correct content at the right time

Lack of Integration with Salesforce

The sales teams would have to work with marketing content managed entirely outside of Salesforce, meaning switching between platforms several times, to get things done, thereby disrupting workflow and wasting time.

Ineffective Search Functionality

Sales representatives needed to find an effective method to search for marketing material. The current system did not filter on any meaningful sale metrics, like account size, deal value, or industry. This reduced the ability to discover crucial content in as little time as possible.

Manual Content Updates

It was tedious to do manual updates to the content, and many were missed, and the sales teams could not be sure that they had the latest and most relevant marketing material.

Limited Access and Collaboration

Limited access and less collaboration: Since there was no centralized system, different teams could not access marketing materials. It limited collaboration and reduced the effectiveness of sharing content across departments.

The Solution

This problem was proposed a solution that streamlined, organized, made marketing materials more accessible, and made sales teams manage their marketing materials better.

Centralized Marketing Material Storage and Organization

It solved the issue of disorder by allowing clients to upload, format, and organize marketing materials directly on their platform. Therefore, all these materials are stored in one place, from where the sales teams can easily access them.

Salesforce Integration

The custom app in Salesforce was directly integrated into the Client's website. This allowed marketing materials to be viewed and accessed within Salesforce Sales Cloud. For this integration, REST API callouts and OAuth 2.0 authentication were used.

Enhanced Search Functionality

the search functionality was extended and allowed the sales people to filter the marketing collaterals by very granular sales criteria such as account name, deal size, or industry. This made it easy for the sales teams to determine which case studies and success stories were relevant to the opportunities at hand.

Automated Content Updates

The system allowed marketing material automatically to update each time the client uploaded new content onto the client's website. As such, the sales team had access to the newest, most relevant content on time, without having to look into updating their libraries manually.

Improved Access and Collaboration

Salesforce integration ensured the sales teams could access everything from the marketing materials side in one place, creating improved collaboration and ensuring that everyone was working with the latest content. The app simplified the sharing of materials across teams and departments.

The Result

The integration of marketing materials into Salesforce Sales Cloud has been very influential on the efficiency and productivity of sales teams for the Client’s customers. The project reduced time spent searching for content by over 40% by giving sales reps direct access to relevant case studies and success stories within Salesforce. The sales teams could close deals faster and more effectively by having the right content at the right time.

The client benefited through the listing on Salesforce AppExchange, which increased their customer base and created a new source of revenue from downloads of the application. Hundreds of sales teams in several industries benefited from the integration and central management of content.

This project has enormous long-term implications. They have streamlined the sales process for the Client and introduced the latter to new revenue-generating channels through AppExchange. In addition to this, the solution provided is scalable in its nature and, therefore, can grow with the customer base of the Client; more materials and functionalities are constantly added.
