35 Salesforce Users showed up last night at Alteva offices to discuss Salesforce and marketing. When you factor in the heat and it is the middle of summer it was a tremendous sucess.

Mike Becce from MBR Public Relations did more of a generic marketing overview. Download mikes_presentation_alteva.ppt

Kevin MIller from Marketbright presented more from the idea of things that can be done in SalesforceDownload sfdc_philadelphia_user_group_meeting.ppt

Our next meeting will be in September

I am looking forward to our end of year Holiday Party. We are looking for Vendors to particapate

Thank you for your continued interest in the Philadelphia SaleForce User Group. Our meeting in May was a great step forward. We had 30 people attend.

At the meeting we held an open discussion about topics to be covered in future meetings. I am taking that advice and trying to arrange speakers and meetings with topics requested. With that in mind if you have a topic of interest to the group and would like to present please feel free to contact me.

Lastly, the meeting schedule needs to be changed. I think we will meet every other month. So the meeting we talked about attempting this month will be cancelled and we are definitely on for July 24th at 4:00 at Alteva Offices again. We have one speaker line up the topic will be Marketing and Salesforce. More information to come

As part of trying to make the group more interactive we have also created a google group that will be moderated and membership keep hiden to avoid any potential conflict of interests. You can sign up at

Our first meeting went off well. Attendance was very good I would guess about 25 or so. Not bad for a our first meeting. The agenda was, as stated, S-Control and Apex for beginners by CRM Manager. (THANK YOU). Download scontrols_and_apex_philly_sfdc_user_group.pdf

Some users group business we will meet the 4th Thursday of the month from 4-7 at Alteva offices through the summer. Topics that users wanted to here about; best practices, lead control, customer surveys, marketing with SalesForce, Support using SF, and optimization. I am sure the list will grow.

Users came from as a far away as the land of Baltimore and as close as Center City. I want to thank those that came and those that contributed. The more interactive we are the better the group will be
