January 2011• I start to work at Sword CTSpace• No Marketing Automation software• Database is a disaster• I want to run out the door screaming

March 2011• We purchase Pardot• I realize that no one uses Saleforce for marketing

August 2011• I finally convince our CEO that we need to do something to fix

our customer and prospect data

How did we get here???!!!!!

• Too many people had administrator rights• Overloaded Tech Support team who didn’t have time to create complete records• Let’s face it, salespeople are LAZY!

Someone had to fix this. Any volunteers? Of course not…

Create your query in a similar logical method as you do for your Pardot automation rules, but there are not rule groups.

What now?

• Take a Saleforce Administrator class

• Get buy in from management for resources

• Find “suckers” internally who will help with this project

• Find interns or students who will work for cheap or free

How to identify duplicates:

Exported all data from Salesforce and then imported it into an Oracle database, ran the queries using PL/SQL (programming language/structured query language) and then exported into Excel.

• Accounts

• Contacts

• Leads

ACCOUNT LEVEL• Merge exact matches (name for name)• Merge any duplicates with exact match of addresses (name variation)• Query all name variation matches (example Sword, Sword CTSpace, Sword

Australia) Merge

CONTACT LEVEL• Merge exact matches (look for information associated with that contact)• Merge any duplicates with exact match of email addresses but variation in their

name

LEAD LEVEL• Same as contact level

Use Email Report Hard Bounces to clean up the database by removing those contacts. Make sure no data associated with that contact that may be needed for reporting purposes.

I worked with at least 1 user in each role/function within our company either in person or via Webex to get an understanding of how they currently use Salesforce and their wish list for enhanced/desired functionality.

This is a very important step to get buy in from your users

Adding new custom fields, to capture more data, target marketing

• Pardot is the driving force here

• Expiration date of support contract

• Secondary Specific Industry (gas and oil, upstream or downstream)

• Create new fields based on reporting needs of your teams/roles

IDENTIFY INDIVIDUAL CONTACT RECORDS that need updating (most time consuming step, may want to break out into groups to complete this step, i.e. territory managers)

• Industry/Sub Industry

• Type (Customer, Prospect, Lead)

• Contact Types (website, address, telephone)

• Marketing Source (uploaded list that didn’t include source)

• Language (for global companies)

Complete blank fields using MASS UPDATES

Create queries using Excel Connector app specific to field type, export out and complete fields in spreadsheet and then re-import to Salesforce

Download app http://code.google.com/p/excel-connector/wiki/Install

Create a query for each field you would like to do a mass update on, for example:

• Country

• Account Owner (mass update of old salesperson to new)

• Undesired naming convention (example USA, US. U.S. to United States)
