Pardot can be understood as the sales path which is traced by your leads and prospects. The Sales path begins with the marketing of your product to create interest within the leads and ends with the prospects assigned to a Sales rep.
Many organizations today use both Pardot and Marketing Cloud. The major difference between the two is that the Pardot can be used if the company is selling the product to another business. While, marketing cloud is used when the company is selling a product to individual consumer.
In Pardot, when a lead or a visitor visits a company’s website, they become traceable for the company. The company can view which links they have clicked, how many pages have been navigated, etc. This all is done with the help of tracking cookie to their browser when they first visit your website. The prospects created in Pardot can be done in many ways.
