					<description><![CDATA[<p>Salesforce marketing automation is not one workflow, one email tool, or one product. A modern Salesforce environment can include CRM records, Salesforce Flow, campaigns, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, Marketing Cloud Engagement, Data 360, integrations, lead assignment, sales activity, customer journeys, and reporting. That creates a large amount of automation power. It also creates a design [&#8230;]</p>

A well-designed system can segment prospects, update data, score engagement, evaluate fit, assign prospects, add people to Salesforce campaigns, trigger sales activity, control nurture programs, connect third-party activity, and help marketing and sales respond to meaningful buyer [&#8230;]</p>

A prospect enters Pardot, marketing activity is captured, information moves into Salesforce, sales follows up, and both teams use the same customer data.
