Testimonial from a new hire…
It was after 5pm on a Friday evening last December. The 11th
floor of the Seattle office was empty, except for a dedicated
new hire named Manuel Martucci. He had just closed one of
his first sales, and needed help in Salesforce. He reached out
to his support resources, but they were not available due to the
late hour.
Manuel thought he would have to wait until Monday to get
help…. But then he remembered that his Trainer, Misti Scott,
had requested access for his new class for a trial on a new
tool called WalkMe. He opened the WalkMe menu right from
Salesforce and saw the process he needed help with – Submit
a request for a Site Survey.
Manuel followed the steps in the walk-thru to submit his
request, and was also able to find out how to add the new
Service Location. He stood up in his cubicle, pumped his fist,
and shouted “YES!” out into the empty office.
