For the past few weeks I’ve been sitting on an announcement that I can now make public. I’m excited to say that today will be my first day as an Eloqua employee.
Working out of Eloqua’s Toronto office, my mandate is to help drive Eloqua’s use of Salesforce.com, ensuring Salesforce is the CRM and development platform we all know it can be. If you know me, or have seen one of my posts, you may know that much of my experience is using Salesforce to drive marketing, and marketing automation requirements. This makes the opportunity at Eloqua truly exciting.
While this is an exciting opportunity, the decision to accept it was far from easy. My time at Architech Solutions was engaging, and allowed me to grow into a well rounded Salesforce solution consultant. In the last two years I’ve had the pleasure of working with 15 clients. From initial pitch, to final project completion, I’ve had the privilege of working on:
- Two soon to be appexchange apps
- Sophisticated marketing automation requirements
- Calculating customer value, LTV, donner lifetime value, lead score, opportunity health, etc.
- Lead and opportunity management visualforce pages
- A six figure ERP style custom application that relies heavily on visualforce pages to drive workflow
- A custom product catalogue that supports a matrix based pricing grid
- Complex systems integration
- Multi-year rollout and integration plans
- Early lifecycle implementations
- Administrator and end-user training
I’m grateful for the opportunities that I’ve been provided at Architech. I’m now looking forward to bringing my Salesforce experience and perspective to Eloqua.
Andrew,
Congratulations! I’m sure you will be an assest to Eloqua. Hope you enjoy the challenge Eloqua has to offer. Now pipe down!
Take care,
Peggy
Having been educated on Salesforce and having attended some of your seminars, I am indeed impressed with two aspects of the tool. One is is versatility and depth of data retrieval and the second is the need for the training curve to enable the most useful production of the tool. We will await to hear more as the new challenges unfold.
Andrew, Congratulations!
They have a great team there – led by Brian Kardon, CMO!!!
Looking forward to more of your knowledge share on these topics.
Best, Michelle
