Spark Staff!
I’m glad to help!

Everything throughout the slideshow is linked to these objectives!
An overview of what we’re going to do during this hour.
Here’s how you get started (and no, it’s not really a trap as long as you stay patient and persistent)
This is what you see when you log in! It can be a little overwhelming.
Salesforce is like R2D2: It speaks a very strange language with a very strange grammar, but once you understand the language, it becomes a powerful tool… Let’s take a look at some of that language
Galactic Spacecraft Design Corp is a business that can/could/does host apprenticeships. They are an account. Accounts can also be schools/businesses
Han Solo works for Galactic Spacecraft design. We want him to be a mentor or donor, but we’ve never been in touch with him. He’s a lead.
Yoda also works for Galactic Spacecraft design. He’s a past mentor/donor. He’s a contact because we have talked back and forth with him.
Alderaan is a place where we’re going to work with multiple schools (students and teachers) and businesses (leads and contacts). It makes sense to bring them all together into one campaign.
Accounts (Businesses and other organizations) have leads (people we’ve never been in touch with) and contacts (people we have been in touch with)
Campaigns bring together multiple accounts (and leads and campaigns). They represent a place and time that Spark is doing something
Quick quiz to make sure we’ve got the basics down before we move to the more advanced stuff. Directions: Match the vocab with the definition
The search bar is probably the best way to find specific objects. If you can’t find it in the search bar, you probably will need to create it… just click create new, find the type of object you want to create and fill in the information you know. When creating leads, use the term “General Lead”
Take a few minutes to explore the search function. Find these things on SalesForce and check out what kind of information you can find!
Another quick check for understanding:
Q:What’s the difference between lead and contact? A: Leads are people we have not heard back from
Follow up question: when would a lead become a contact? A: After a person responds to a phone call, e-mail, etc.
So, after you hear back from from a lead, then you need to make them into a contact through a process called conversion. It’s really easy: Just push the button that Yoda is pointing to
Q: Chewbacca, Past mentor; A: Contact. We’ve been in touch with him. The company he works (Loreal) for is an account.
Q: Mos Eisley Schools are launching Spark in Spring 2014! A: This one’s a little tricky. We’d need to create an account for the school, contacts for the school staff, and a campaign for the Spring 2014 session!
Q: The Rebel Base is hosting 5 students; A: The business/organization is an account; the 5 people hosting apprenticeships are contacts
Q: Storm Trooper, Potential Mentor that hasn’t responded to e-mail; A: He’s a lead for now, if he responds to our e-mail, then he becomes a contact (even if he says “no”)
Q: Oaklandish, current place that hosts apprenticeships; A: It’s an account. Its employees are contacts (or leads)
Q: Westlake Middle School, a school we work with; A: The place is an account; the students, parents, and teachers are contacts; and the sessions we have apprenticeships there are part of a campaign
Q: Mayor Jean Quan, somebody we’d like to know, but we don’t know her. A: She’s a lead because she hasn’t responded to our e-mails.
Oaklandish (and its contacts), Westlake MS, and Mayor Jean Quan would all be connected under a campaign
Give everyone a chance to practice these things
Quick agenda check…Next we’re moving on to Tracking!
Go to a contact page; Find the contact’s “Activity History” It’s useful to check before you reach out to someone.
You can track every e-mail you send using salesforce’s BCC function! We’ll set this up later
After you hang up the phone with someone. Follow these steps. I like to use the notes section to fill in a brief summary of the phone called (why you called, what happened as a result, what are some next steps). Eg:
“KV called to recruit mentors for SP14, SF is unavailable for the session but is open to reaching out to colleagues. KV to follow up via e-mail with recruiting materials”
We learned so much! And now we’re ready to begin using the basics of the (sales)force!
Forshadowing: There’s more to come!!! Now that we know how to put data in, we’ll want to figure out how to actually use that information!
