Hi everyone,

 

My name is Gergana, and I'm excited to be part of this mentorship program! I live in Milan, Italy, and I have over 8 years of experience in marketing automation (Marketo and Salesforce Marketing Cloud), both as a practitioner and admin. Currently, I work for The Adecco Group.

 

I'm aiming to take both the Business Practitioner Exam and the Architect Master Exam. It might be a bit ambitious, but I'm looking forward to the challenge and the opportunity to learn and grow with all of you.

 

Looking forward to collaborating and learning from @vaitheshwari-2 and all of my fellow aspirants.

 

Warm regards,

Gergana

Hi @vaitheshwari-2

 

I am glad to be in this CT 🙂 Could you provide some guidance on which areas are the most challenging and on which we should focus when preparing for the exam? Even though we may have varying levels of existing Marketo knowledge and skills, I imagine there are certain concepts, features or use cases that most people struggle with to some degree when studying for this certification. Could you highlight a few of those areas that you think it's critical for all of us to focus extra study time and attention on? Any specific tips on how to master those trickier topics?


Personally, I'm concerned about the Revenue Cycle Modeler section, as we haven't used it in my company yet. However, with an upcoming Marketo instance change and some internal process updates, this will be both a challenge and an opportunity for me to dive in and set it up from scratch.


@My fellow aspirants (
@kristof-2, @gautamkk@saurabhsh13@svetlana@kumareshve, @niharikanikki, @sam_berger), what are the areas you think you struggle the most with when it comes to Marketo?

I think it would be incredibly valuable for all of us to get your perspective on the most common pain points and pitfalls to watch out for. That way we can proactively shore up our weaknesses and make the most efficient use of our limited study time over the next month.

Looking forward to learning from you and my peers in this program.

Thanks @gergana, I agree completely ✌️ 

From my end, I would like to walk through the main-broader areas of the Master exam, such as: API, revenue modelling, lead lifecycle, multi-touch attribution, advanced reporting, instance health & management, etc. 

I'm going step by step through the exam prep guide, and for example at the moment a key question for me is: to which extent do we need to be familiar with the REST API? How broad our knowledge needs to be for the exam? @vaitheshwari-2, any thoughts on this please?

Cheers,
K

Hi All,

it is great to be a part of this program and I'm looking forward to collaborate and exchange ideas & knowledge with all of you! 

A few words of intro from my side. I'm Kristof, based in Warsaw, Poland. I have been using Marketo for almost 10 years now. In the last few years I have been focusing more on marketing operations and contact data management, and I love marketing automation in general. Currently working at QAD company that offers software solutions for manufacturing & supply chain industries. I was always working with B2B industries and audiences.

It is nice that this group is a small container of a few of us, so that it creates a closer space for interactions.

Looking forward to our discussions in these next few weeks and onwards 🙂

Best,
Kris

Hi All,

 

Nice to meet you here! My name is Sveta - I'm very happy to join this program. I have around 5 years of experience with Marketo, and I've never started the instance from the scratch - so i would love to deep dive in Architect Master knowledge and exam. My current role as Marketing Automation Manager is about aligning S&M functions and driving high-quality & easy to find leads.

I passed Practitioner & Expert exam levels 1,5 hears ago, and now I think i'm ready to grow 🙂 

 

Looking forward to learn form @vaitheshwari and all the peers here!

 

All the best,

Sveta

Hi guys,

it's almost the end of the 1st week and we haven't heard from @vaitheshwari-2 on this thread, or am I missing something?

Will we be receiving any content or guidance here?

Hi @kristof-2,

 

Thanks for your question. I have reached out to Vaitheshwari for input. It may be that she does not have the bandwidth to continue as a mentor in this program. If she does not respond in the coming days, I will remap all the aspirants in this thread to other mentors. Appreciate your understanding and patience!

Hi all,

 

I've just finished first chapter in Examp prep guide - but i don't have access to the video here  https://nation.marketo.com/t5/champion-program-blogs/marketo-merging-or-migration-what-it-takes-to-move-houses/ba-p/307658

@kristof-2 @gergana @niharikanikki @kumareshve @jon_chen 

Do you have the same issue?

Hi @svetlana, this video was available last week and now it says that there is an error loading it. 

But no regrets here really, as this was just a general discussion, not really helpful or informative, to be honest...

Check "marketo migration" on YT, and you will find much better and more practical at least 2-3 webinar recording there 😉

Check this: one | two | three | four

Hi everyone,

It's a pleasure to meet all of you here! Thank you very much for your wonderful introductions.

It's great to know that each of us has a good amount of experience. This experience will be invaluable when tackling scenario-based questions in the Business Practitioner exam.

For those of you preparing for the Business Practitioner exam, there's no need to worry about RCE and REST API. Instead, our focus should be on:

  • Program fundamentals
  • Smart campaign logic (combining triggers and filters)
  • Reporting
  • Nurture programs
  • Lead scoring

I hope you are familiar with these concepts. It’s important that we strengthen our understanding of these areas to avoid any confusion.

I will share questions in my upcoming posts, which should be helpful.

If you have any questions, please feel free to post them here.

thanks,
Vaitheshwari Selvam

Hi @vaitheshwari-1 ,

 

Thank you for your warm introduction and for sharing valuable insights about the Business Practitioner exam. 

 

I wanted to point out a small error in the thread's focus. We are all here to prepare for the Adobe Marketo Engage Architect Master (AD0-E560) certification. While some of us, including myself, are also preparing for the Business Practitioner exam, this thread should be dedicated to the Architect certification.

 

Thank you for your understanding, and we are looking forward for your guidance.

Hello @jon_chen 
In section 4. of the Architect exam prep guide there is an incorrect link under the topic CRM Sync - Salesforce Sync Errors - what is the correct link please? 
Also, in the same section, this topic is doubled: Creating an Allowlist for IP-Based API Access
Thanks

Hi @kristof-2 Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

I will confirm what the correct link should be for the Salesforce Sync Errors section as I believe it should be this one. I'll also request to remove the duplicate for the Allowlist section.
