Salesforce Partner Management makes cross-collaboration a breeze!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Salesforce Partner Management connects with our CRM to help us track leads and manage activity on an account/client. We are able to share this among our account team and within our company so that everyone has access to the same files and notes and it is more uniform across the board. The UI is simple and it is easy to pick up right away.

Pros

  • Clear, concise user interface.
  • Organizes calls & notes & client info into one uniform platform.
  • Allows knowledge to be shared across the organization & account teams.

Cons

  • No analytics capabilities to my knowledge.
  • Personalization isn't always simple, but that also is one of the things that make the UI easier to learn.

Most Important Features

  • Track data and notes to cross- collaborate with team and organization.
  • Import data/ notes and keep it organized in one place for my own viewing.

Return on Investment

  • Saves time during my day to find not only my notes but other people's notes so I don't have to go back to them to find the data.

Salesfore Partner Managment - If you are already in the Salesforce Ecosystem you must try this!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used the Partner Management piece of Salesforce strictly to keep an official record of the partnerships we had at a certain level. The Salesforce suite of products is great, but the add-ons like Partner Management are where it really shined for our organization. We had some confusion around what a parent was at a ground level and the solution as--they aren't a partner if they aren't in the Salesforce Partner Management area.

  • Automated Channel Marketing
  • Connect to our existing Salesforce CMS

Cons

  • More releases per year
  • More detailed release notes with change log call outs
  • More template options for setup
