website and is now tracked in Pardot.

3)Conversion: Once a visitor gives you their contact

information by submitting a landing page or form in

4) Prospect: An anonymous visitor

that has converted and is now
identified. If you’re familiar with
Sales Cloud or other CRM
software, this is also called a lead.

5) Lead nurturing: Sending targeted messages at specific

intervals based on a prospect's actions and whether or not
they’ve met certain qualifying criteria.

6) Lead Qualification with Pardot.

Qualify your leads with Pardot's scoring and grading tools.

Scoring shows how engaged a prospect is with your

company.
Grading reflects the prospect's persona, fit, or
demographic. Scoring is based on what a prospect does, and
grading is based on who a prospect is.
 Pardot uses "Prospects score" and "Prospect grade" for lead
qualification.
Prospect score: numerical value indicating how interested they
are in your product or service.

Prospect grade: represented by a letter (A, B, C, D, etc.).

Indicates how well a prospect fits the profile of your
ideal prospect.

Example of Lead scoring and grading

Jacob is a great fit for your product

or service, but either hasn't had time
LEAD SCORE 012 to do any research, or doesn’t know
LEAD GRADE B+
that your product exists yet. This lack
of activity is why he has a high grade,
but a low score.

Recommended Action: Call him or

place him on a nurturing campaign.
Meet Jacob
