Separate Team & Managerial Training Sessions

Salesforce Training for Teams

Team training typically takes place across several one-hour sessions, depending on group size and/or role. Session content can range from basic setup and novice-level tutorials to complex, multi-integration sales process trainings. As part of the onboarding process, we work with managers to strategize a proper training schedule to ensure the quickest team adoption.

Salesforce Training for Managers

Managers need their own process-tracking and reporting tools as well as assets that help support quickly growing sales and marketing teams. Hence, they naturally have a unique set of customizable tools and reports at their disposal. We make sure managers receive the necessary training to understand these crucial assets and help ensure success for their entire department.

Beginner Salesforce Online Training Agenda

Learn how to navigate Salesforce

The goal of our online Salesforce training services is to ensure you and your team are as comfortable with the platform as possible. After all, because it’s so powerful, there is a bit of a learning curve.

If necessary, during our first training session, we cover the basic functions of Salesforce, including basic setup needs, to provide a conceptual foundation and “map.” That’s why our goals for the first training are simply to learn how to navigate and understand standard Salesforce functionality.

Become comfortable with the interface

Gradually, through future training sessions, more complex concepts and elements are added. But for now, we keep things pretty general. To keep engagement up (and consequently adoption), we encourage trainees to speak up and ask questions early and often.

Go over the concept of Objects / Tabs / Like Excel
Waffle / App Launcher
Home Setup (if applicable)

The Object Overview

Here we discuss the concept of the “Object.” Think of an object like an entity in standard database terms. It is the container for all the information on a certain person, place or thing you want to store data on. Consider a school, which might need to track its students, teachers, and classes. To do this, it would create objects in Salesforce, for students, teachers, and classes. There are multiple Objects in Salesforce:

The Contact object: People who work at companies
The Account object: Companies
The Lead object: Unqualified prospects
The Opportunity object: Qualified prospects
Various Custom objects: extra objects tailored to a business’ process needs.

How to Use the Platform

Here we start getting our hands dirty and creating contact, account, and lead records. We also begin navigating list “views.”

How to create a Lead
Show a List View
Create a List View
How to use Global Search (with * wildcard, AND, OR)

How to Navigate Records

Next we go over…

Lead Page Navigation
- Progress Bar
- Related Lists / Activities / Chatter
- Chatter (instant message and/or social media)
  - @mention users in system
  - Records activities that are tracked
  - Follow

Create a Task
Edit a Record (in-line or page layout)
Section Roll-ups (maintains state for you)

How to Manage Data Across Associated Objects

Now we begin to piece together the sales process conceptually. This is where most of the “Aha!” moments take place.

How to convert a Lead
How to move data to the appropriate “Object” (Account, Contact, Lead)
Discuss how one does not HAVE to create a Lead first (could create these records separately and connect them)
Discuss how “Activities” on the Lead record move over to the associated Account and Contact objects – Activities rollup to Accounts but can be seen just for the Contact (or Opportunity) records.

Our Latest Salesforce Training Review

“KeyNode provided a disciplined evaluation of our company’s use of Salesforce, and delivered high performing optimization that is customized for our business work flow.”

Denise C., Director of Marketing

Our Latest Salesforce Training Review

“We found KeyNode after a bad experience working with an implementation partner. KeyNode’s team took the time to understand our business and design solutions specific to our needs. In addition, they made suggestions for Salesforce best practices and features that we did not know we could leverage. I would highly recommend them as a Salesforce partner and we plan on continuing to work with them as our business grows. My only regret is that we did not use them during our initial implementation as we would have saved thousands of dollars and hours of work. Thank you for helping us fix the mess we were in and making the process as painless as possible.”

Michael G., VP, Business Development

“The KeyNode Solutions and their team members are extremely competent, efficient and truly understand our priorities and constraints as a nonprofit organization. We did an extensive evaluation on potential Salesforce partners and they were the only team that could help design the solutions that were meeting our requirements and were within our budget. It is rare that you work with people who really think through all the aspects, who are mindful and resourceful, solutions-focused and two steps ahead. We truly consider them our partner who cares not only about the technology aspects but also our overall mission. Thank you KeyNode! You are the BEST!”
