Why?

Most SFDC documentation describes the benefits &

features of the SFDC feature – more like a sales

presentation rather than an instruction guide.– Need best practice guides

• What do you need to consider before implementing this feature?

– Need basic instructions to set the function up

Outsource vs Do it Yourself

I’m somewhere in the middle of not having the time to

figure it out and do it myself

vs

Hiring an expert to do it for me…..

Too little time and too little $$

Basic INSTRUCTION; one small step at a time might be

the answer for a lot of us

Smaller Groups – Shared Experiences

How do you use Salesforce???

Share your experiences

We probably have many mutual needs and someone in

this room may have already addressed an issue that

you are struggling with

Suggestion

Small regularly scheduled training sessions

Cover mutually agreed upon agenda

Limit initial agenda to basic How To’s

Get more sophisticated as needs grow

Flexible schedule

Little or no cost – depending on talent available

What to we need?

Training facility – meeting place

Trainers– Volunteers

– Professionals

– Paid professionals – last resort

– Trainees/participants

Training Room

FREE! Seats up to 14 people comfortably Wireless access Projection After hours access Close proximity to present meeting site 3330 Keller Springs @ Midway Rd (just outside the

West End of Airport Tunnel
