Totally agree on the data front. Not understanding this can mean errors as simple as missing a set of people who had valid reasons to be included in a campaign, or as major as a compliance breach... eek.

And TOKENS! All the tokens.

YES to data normalization! Whenever I start at a new company I spend a good month making sure I understand our database and normalize data as much as possible.

These are all very helpful! I wish I had understood tokens better when I first set up my Marketo account. It would have saved me TONS of time and effort!

Awesome tips! I highly recommend making a data dictionary to explain each field in the Marketo database: details on what it represents, sources (if applicable), field type, how it should and shouldn't be used, etc.

Awesome tips, Kyle! Data normalization is spot on - not only from an accuracy/relevance perspective in Marketo, but also from a system perspective to avoid any CRM sync errors.
