Revenue Optimization App
Mimiran's looking for beta testers now for a product in development. Send Reuben Swartz an email if interested.:
"Mimiran is developing a new application that provides analysis on discount effectiveness - and we do this without disturbing your existing Salesforce data. We're looking for folks to test it and give us feedback. You must have opportunity line items in your salesforce instance. It will only take 2-10 minutes of your time, and you may find some valuable insights about where your company could be more profitable. Also - free accounts through the end of the year for folks who participate."

Spring is here so lets have some fun! - April 10
Hello Everyone,
I wanted to give you and update of our upcoming events. I'm currently working through an application process for the group so we can get outdoors and work with each other performing some community
service in helping out a local non-profit.
I think this will be fun for us and it will allow us to give back as a group to the wonderful city we live in.
Stay tuned as I will provide an update with everything is in place. Because of this we may not meet this
month but I will continue to work this avenue as well as our next formal meeting. It could be that we have
two opportunities to meet next month if the volunteer event slips from April.
I always welcome your feedback and any suggestions to continue a strong group that we've created. We are over 220 persons now since starting in Nov 07 but our journey continues just as with each release we receive from salesforce.
Also, look for a splash in the non-profit pool in the coming weeks as Salesforce Austin will an announcement soon.
Take care and I look forward to seeing you soon!
