Follow-up from today's user group meeting (9/16/09)

Appexchange Downloads impacting Tab Limits

 

Are you approaching -- or at your tab limit within Salesforce?  If so, some options:

  • Contact your account executive (AE) to find out the price for upgrading to a different edition, or purchasing an expansion pak for your current edition.  The expansion pak may only be available for Enterprise Edition customers, but your AE can provide more details.
  • Cast your vote on idea exchange regarding how appexchange downloads are counted.  Here's links to 3 ideas I found. 
  • HINT:  Adding comments when you cast your vote gets your vote more "weight" with Salesforce.com Product Managers, and helps get additional votes from other customers.

If you're not at your tab limit, you may want to check out this presentation from our April meeting that highlights no cost (or low cost) packages that are on Appexchange that many customers find to be very valuable.

User Group Meeting

Wednesday, Sept 16, 2009

7:30-10:00am

·         8:00-8:15:  Welcoming comments

See how others are using the Customer Portal and/or Partner Portal to make working with their customers and/or partners easier, more productive, and payoff with bottom-line results.

This live demonstration will show you how your peers are using the different salesforce portals, what is involved in setting them up effectively, and caveats to be aware.

  • 8:45-9:15:  Qualcomm's use of the Customer Portal -- and Salesforce Knowledge

We are very fortunate in San Diego to have so many people from Qualcomm in our group and for the use of their great facility for our meetings.  John Snead, Senior Systems Analyst with Qualcomm, will be sharing with us how they handle customer support and how they are using the customer portal for processes beyond just support.  Qualcomm is part of the pilot of Salesforce Knowledge, so John will be giving us a preview of this feature that is not even generally released yet.

Our special guest will be Sara Varni Bright,  Salesforce.com's customer liason for AppExchange.  Salesforce will be rolling out some new AppExchange offerings and she will be giving us a sneak preview.  If you are new to Salesforce, and not yet familiar with what AppExhange is, a good place to get introduced to this very important part of the Salesforce ecosystem is by going here.

·         9:30-9:50:  Breakout sessions

This part of the meeting is time for more intimate discussion with other members in smaller groups. 

Come with your questions!  Here are two that have already been submitted for you to think about.  If you have a good recommendation regarding how you handle these common challenges, please come ready to share it with others.  That's what a user community is all about!

  1. How do you get your sales people to comply with entering data into salesforce as well as just getting them to log-in and utilize the program?
  2. Do you a special way of handling vacation coverage in Salesforce?
  • 9:50-10:00:  Wrap-up and prizes

Red Skye will be raffling a giveaway of an awesome Flip video recorder - the rage in video recording and sharing on the go - "as simple as it is fun" - don't miss it!
