SOCOMFORCE Coming Soon



This domain will be use for the development of tweaks and modifications to Salesforce.com that a company can use to customize the Salesforce CRM to help drive sales. These posts will be grow over time and will be primarily focused on the sales person and how to use your CRM to gather better information on your accounts, contacts and leads. Since a CRM is supposed to empower the sales person let's make a few adjustments in your Salesforce CRM that will drive better decisions and make your daily sales grind a bit easier the SOCOM way.

Many companies use Salesforce, they are the leader in the CRM market. The most obvious appeal for companies to use a hosted CRM as a sales tool is mainly the on demand nature of the system and the ability to give executives a view into the company with special reports and dashboards.

But what about the account manager on inside sales person? Besides having a basic listing of leads, contacts and opportunities, what can they do with such a great tool? How many dashboards are available out of the box for them? How customized are the fields in their records? Chances are like most companies you have a few special fields created and mostly the defaults for everything else. Then you wrap your sales process around that and figure it out as you go along.

I'm going to show you that salesforce.com with a few SOCOM Sales input can turn your CRM into a well oiled revenue generating machine. That's the plan anyway. :)

You say you don't use or need a salesforce.com account for work? Thats fine. Get a personal account. These are great for socialites, freelancers and contractors. Pretty much anyone that wants to use a better system than Outlook.
