  • Business Challenges
    • International business units operating autonomously
    • Inconsistent nomenclature and processes
    • Mix of English and native speakers
    • Formal sales processes immature
    • Global Account Management push stalled
  • Technology Challenges
    • No common platform for Account management, pipeline management, contract management
    • Implementing Salesforce domestically before International

9. The Solution

  • How did we address these challenges?
    • Developed data model up-front
    • Deployed domestically
    • Exposed areas with obvious pain to influencers and decision-makers
    • Phased implementation in by function Finance, then sales
  • Tips, tricks & lessons learned
    • Approach International operations that we are flexible
    • Channel them to standardized process

  • Multi-Currency is deployed
  • Outsourced Admin and Premier support to salesforce.com
  • We will deploy delegated administration

11. The Dark Side They Dont Tell You About

  • Private sharing model in matrixed structure
  • can be a nightmare

  • Account ownership can take many forms and can limit or emancipate you
  • My versus All reporting feature maybe critical to adoption

12. They Now Also Have A Big Flashlight

  • Territory Management is a very powerful
  • Grouping accounts provide unique access for individuals
  • Territory Management is powerful, but risky..
  • Extremely flexible but, no going back
  • Not just for global deployments

13. Thou Shalt Not

  • Plan on deploying Internationally without a solid data model/data strategy
  • Deploy without actively engaging relevant functions in advance to listen to feedback
  • Customize for a Region or Country that will result in core differences
  • Deploy without multiple training modes (face-to-face, Web conference, online)

14. Success! Results

  • What were the results?
    • All countries maintain their Accounts, Contract, Contacts and Opportunities within Salesforce
