Why Salesforce?

• Groupon has been using Salesforce since 2008.

• When we first started we needed a simple way to store our Leads and Accounts.

• Every time we had a new process, we would build it on to Salesforce.

• Lead Gen => Sales Intelligence => Sales => Deal Qualification => Account Management => Planning => Editorial

Leverage Force.com automation to streamline

our business.

We have over 430 workflow rules.

Automate where you can, when you can.

We need to move a lot of data.

How do you keep multiple systems

in sync when the schema can change?

We use APIs to limit integration access

for external partners we work with.

Our API is our ‘contract’ with other

development teams at Groupon.

They know what data

and data types should be returned.

How can management

keep track of the deals?

How do we make sure the

deals we put on our site

are good for our merchants

and our customers?

Each deal is approved by the

manager of the market.

Call Me Maybe

Making a call is easy enough, but what else can we do?

Emails? Voicemail?

• What is the average time you must spend on the phone with a prospect before you

convert it?

• Are your agents having meaningful conversations?

• What is the right contact cadence?

Start with the data at the top of your funnel to get you really understand your pipeline.
