Sales methodology for Salesforce Opportunity, Georgy Avilov (@GeorgyAvilov), 101 level

In short:

I’ll show what is a sales methodology, how does it work in an everyday life and how to reflect it correctly in Salesforce. We’ll see how to setup a sales process and revenue forecast. And let sales department benefit out of it.

And what’s more important – how to avoid common mistakes that will make system heavy and not usable.

Longer:

I’ll tell the audience how to connect sales and Salesforce. And thus design a working system.

Salesforce launch sponsors are often from operations (COO-s and etc). That’s why sales process is often more about operational processing steps rather than sales methodology. That makes Sales Departments consider Sales Cloud as purely administrative tool – damaging Salesforce reputation among Sales.

It makes Salesforce more a pain rather than a value in a longer term prospective. And to fix that afterwards you have to almost make a new launch.

That can be done correctly at the very beginning – I’ll tell how.

Marketing Data Enablement Strategies with Data Cloud, Lusine Grigoryan, 201 level

One of the biggest challenges in enterprise organizations is the disconnect of Sales and Marketing Teams when trying to align interactions with the customers. Marketing teams need to know how often Sales Reps are interacting with customers and outcomes in order to personalize marketing campaigns.

The core of the issue lies in sharing the data from CRM to Marketing platform and in many organizations it is a manual process.

Data Cloud gives the opportunity for the marketing teams to access marketing relevant data without having access to CRM or requesting data manually. Correctly configured Data Cloud can give limitless opportunities to create segments based on their personas, interactions from CRM, engagement on emails, on websites, from offline and online events.

Before configuring the data model in Data Cloud, there are few questions to answer:

• What is customer experience on different touchpoint with the company (how data is captured and where is it stored)
• How does the company identifies Sales Qualified Leads and how to nurture them via personalized marketing

Data enablement through Data Platform is giving marketing teams the opportunity to have access to the customer data and create a solid foundation for personalized marketing campaigns.

Taking control of your queries with GraphQL, Alba Rivas (@albasfdc), 201 level
