Testing commences, and who knows what's next

Yesterday I had Salesforce training with Cathy, Joel, Garlenzka, Ken M, Mary M, Alyse and Stacey B so they could start testing the new "Dexter in Salesforce" process. A big thank you to all of them for doing this testing. When you're a beta-tester it means you deal with the glitches and bugs so others don't have to. That can be bothersome. Here's hoping it goes well and soon a lot of more of you will join in.

Before they could truly use the new Project object in Salesforce I needed to get the sites from the Sites Database into Salesforce. I thought that'd be pretty easy and straightforward but, as is usually the case, nothing's ever simple. I worked on it for a couple days with no luck but finally yesterday, with some help from Apprivo, the consultant we've been using for Salesforce customization help, I got it. So now the sites from the Sites database for the companies that were sent to Salesforce from Contact are in Salesforce, too.

It feels good to make this progress. I'm excited about moving forward. A few days ago I reviewed Salesforce.com with Harvey, the sales ops managers and Sandy. It was fun to watch ideas for more and more ways we could use Salesforce bubble up from everyone. There are so many possibilities it's almost overwhelming. Now we need to figure out the priorities together and forge ahead!
