Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Marketing Cloud for our own customers, where we run campaigns through it. SFMC is our tool of choice for managing pharma campaigns for our licensed customers. We work with around 20 top pharma companies where we run the product — we own the Salesforce licenses, operate the product, and manage the platform ourselves.

Pros

When you’re running campaigns, you need to know your segments and do proper targeting — especially in pharma, which is highly regulated and very specific when you’re communicating with HCPs or KOLs. SFMC helps with that by allowing you to segment, target, and deliver the right messaging to these customers or platform users. That’s what it really helps us do.

Cons

I think the improvements will come with Agentforce, which is coming in. I haven’t seen too many use cases for AI integration in Marketing Cloud yet, but I’m assuming that’s where Salesforce is heading. Bringing those capabilities into the process flow and market segmentation, I think, would really help.

Return on Investment

This has been our fastest-growing business over the past five years. The adoption of Salesforce Marketing Cloud has been phenomenal, and from both a revenue and growth perspective, as I mentioned, it’s the fastest-growing segment in our company.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Any email outreach that we have to do to the customers, that is through Marketing Cloud. So let's say if a customer is making a purchase of the tire, so we are S and let's say if they're making an appointment to make a tire consultation or the stores and taking a tire, right? So appointment confirmations, appointment reminders, finals, and then any reach to the outreach to the customers. In terms of the marketing emails or all those, everything is being directed to Marketing Cloud.

Pros

The seamless integration that we have and since we are already on Salesforce so it's a seamless integration that we can do and I mean easy to manage as well. So we have got access for the professional services and they really helped us integrate the marketing cloud infrastructure and we had some challenges in the past with other vendors that were other product that we were working with and after we have one model marketing or it has been very seamless experience, so yeah, it's a good thing to us.

Cons

The only area that I could think of, probably a better admin management stuff is the one that I, because there is not a lot open on the platform that probably you can use and you probably can get help of until, unless you are very well versed with the product, probably you're not willing to use it the way you can think of other Salesforce offering like the Salesforce sales cloud. It's easy to use, you can just navigate and you can do all this. The Marketing Cloud itself is a complex product. There are reasons why it is like that, but yeah, maybe if we can do something around that.

Return on Investment

It has made positive impact. I mean the outreach has been better to the customers and there is no lag, let's say for customers making an appointment and they're getting the appointment confirmation in snap. So there is no delay that we are getting and everything is being handled by the marketing cloud and it's easy to maintain as well. So definitely a impact for us.
