The Story
The company used a historical system called Tire Power. Unfortunately, it lacked an efficient way to keep up with their core commercial sales team.
Upon hiring a new director of marketing who had prior experience with Salesforce Sales Cloud, they realized the force.com platform could provide the structure and visibility they needed to enhance their opportunity pipeline along with tracking and logging customer visits.
The Challenge
The notion of lead and marketing management was new to the sales team as they had very little prior CRM experience. User adoption was a challenge due to a lack of technology and a majority of the team was used to doing things a certain way.
Our Solution
We solved user adoption challenges by creating a very simple customization and user interface utilizing Salesforce Lightning. We configured page layouts for a streamlined efficient approach and created global actions for everyday actions to make their job easier.
In addition to efficiency, we also implemented a basic integration with their internal POS system that pulls over sales figures each month which, in turn, rolls up to their Salesforce operational reporting.
The Results
Sales reps are now able to log visits and opportunities directly from their phone using the Salesforce1 application. Operational reports were created so that management can see where their reps are spending their time and any bottlenecks in the sales process.
