SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Marketo, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKTO), today announced that LiveIntent, the platform that leverages the power of the email address to provide a smarter way to market to people, not pixels, is using Marketo's Engagement Marketing Platform to arm sales with more promising prospects and better align its sales and marketing teams.

After the first quarter of using Marketo, LiveIntent has:

• Increased prospective customers generated by sales development by 97 percent
• Exceeded "meetings scheduled" quota by 50 percent
• Boosted revenue pipeline by 101 percent

One of LiveIntent's core objectives was to better align the marketing and sales teams in order to close deals more efficiently and effectively. LiveIntent chose Marketo as it seamlessly integrated with the company's sales platform. This guaranteed that data was accurate from the start and that opportunities would not slip through the cracks.

Within 30 days, the sales team was able to prioritize prospective customers and close deals faster. As a result of using the platform, LiveIntent increased their sales opportunities by 97 percent, ultimately scheduling 50 percent more meetings. Marketo has helped impact the company's bottom line not only by arming sales with more accurate information needed to close a deal, but also improving the overall efficiency of the team.

"Leveraging Marketo was an invaluable addition for LiveIntent," said Suneet Bhatt, Chief Marketing Officer at LiveIntent. "We needed an upgrade on our prior marketing tool, one that would enable management of inbound and outbound prospects. We've experienced incredible growth and success in the past year, and our sales and marketing teams couldn't have done it without Marketo."
