Far better visibility of Key metrics including:

Sales performance and accountability

A “new world” marketing approach

What results/outcomes has Salesforce delivered?

Lessons Learnt along the way

> Appoint a “champion” - avoid committees.

> Develop Salesforce Progressively

> Initial set up and data design is absolutely fundamental to avoid future constraints

> Consider if Person Accounts or Contacts are the best way to store data – how does

this impact Leads ?

> Consult with Salesforce Partner if complex structure – e.g. Not selling widgets

> Adopt an “if not in salesforce it doesn’t exist rule” to increase user engagement

> There is more to marketing than just email
