Managing The Customer Life Cycle
What is my objective?
• Users need to work efficiently at any business process stage
• Information needs to go in the right places
The Right Data Set
(List of data needed to conduct a business process)
Support How I Work
• How do I follow up on the Leads in my queue?
• What are the next actions for today’s high priority Cases?
• What are the next steps on my most important Opportunities?
But there’s a few catches…
Data Needs Are Often Complex
Tactical business actions don’t map 1-to-1 to objects in a data model.
Stringing Together Raw Components Doesn’t Cut It
Salesforce® page layouts & list views are single object-based, raw components
Editing 3 Opportunities with 3 related
Opportunity Products takes 32 page loads, 56
clicks, and 3 minutes and 24 seconds
At Scale, Users Have Varying Visibility Requirements
An AMER rep’s view of what she needs to progress her opportunities
The Right Data Set User Experience
Efficient Rollout
The hallmark of an admin rock star!

Customizations at Enterprise Scale
• Start creating custom objects
• Add a few fields
• Add a workflow / trigger
• Make the data visible in a list view
• Create list view via Visualforce
• Add filter, sort, move fields, etc.
Two Examples
• The custom approach: Installed Base Console - $250K
• Grid approach: Wins/Reference- $1K
Natural Progression – What happens when you start customizing
Productivity
• Unify data to experience
• Train to a single User Experience
• Segregate experience based on person/profile
• Make your data actionable
Two Examples
• Pipeline – Forecast View
• Account View
Elements needed to improve productivity
