Its name is an umbrella term for the AI features available through Pardot and Salesforce. Marketing automation is more than just a buzz word. Marketing automation is revolutionizing how organizations manage their target audiences and focus their time.
Today, marketing and sales are all about time management. Getting the deal often comes down to who gets there first, who engages with potential customers more meaningfully and who converts leads to sales faster. Digital marketing has set a fast pace to lead conversion, and businesses have no time to lose on customers that may not convert at all. Sifting through possible options for each contact consumes time and energy that detract from more important work.
The hidden gem that you may not be aware of yet? It’s called Einstein Next Best Action. This is a new tool available in Pardot that surfaces recommendations to users. Einstein Next Best Action allows marketers to shift their focus to the best possible options. The options help convert a prospect to a customer or a customer to a superuser, thus saving time and energy.

Einstein Discovery enables you to discover relevant facts and themes using data in your Einstein Analytics datasets.

Once it’s done analyzing your Einstein Analytics dataset, Einstein Discovery generates answers, explanations, and recommendations in a way that is easy for business users to understand.
Einstein Prediction Builder lets you make predictions about almost any field in Salesforce with just a few clicks. Then, you can use the projections to power workflow, focus your efforts, and work smarter. No models, no algorithms, no code needed. Point. Click. Predict.

While a recommendation is not full automation, it is a way of keeping your sales and marketing team engaged. It also eases the burden of deciding the “next best action” for the client.
