HarvestGold Delivers Personal Sales Goals for Salesforce.com's AppExchange
Salesforce.com Customers Can Now Deploy Personal Sales Goals Directly Within Their Salesforce Implementations
SAN FRANCISCO, salesforce.com Appforce conference, May 24 / / -- HarvestGold and salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM), the market and technology leader in on-demand business services, today announced the availability of Personal Sales Goals for salesforce.com's AppExchange. Salesforce.com customers can now deploy Personal Sales Goals within their Salesforce implementation to establish and track both activity and productivity goals. Built on the AppExchange on-demand platform, Personal Sales Goals for AppExchange is immediately available for test drive and deployment at salesforce.com/appexchange. The announcement was made today at Appforce, salesforce.com's first annual AppExchange partner, user and developer conference.
The ability to quickly and easily set relevant activity goals, and track performance against those goals is critical to a successful sales effort. Until now, the concept of "Activity Quotas" has not been addressed in the Salesforce application. Personal Sales Goals solves that problem for Salesforce customers everywhere. Now you can use Salesforce to even more effectively manage both activity and performance. Personal Sales Goals allows managers to work with their sales people to develop individual sales plans which establish the right activity and productivity goals for each sales person. Targets can be specific to individuals or consistent across the organization. Results are tracked directly from existing Salesforce activity and opportunity records and are displayed in the HarvestGold Dynamic Dashboard, which automatically adjusts as goals are set or modified.
As a salesforce.com Consulting Partner, HarvestGold also delivers customization, data conversion, administration and training services to maximize adoption rates and increase ROI in salesforce.com implementations for customers in the Southwestern Pennsylvania region. Over the past few months alone, HarvestGold has completed conversions from many legacy client-server software CRM systems to Salesforce, and is currently engaged in assisting with a worldwide implementation of Salesforce for one of the region's largest manufacturing companies.
"The AppExchange has given us access to a development platform that fully integrates our planning processes with the Salesforce application," said Steve Lippock, president and founder of HarvestGold. "Until now, sales planning has been a very cumbersome and disconnected process for most sales organizations. The new HarvestGold planning solutions available through AppExchange, deliver a front-end sales planning module which allows sales people to develop territory-level sales plans, then track and manage sales execution, in one integrated environment."
"HarvestGold has delivered an excellent solution for managing and tracking productivity goals," said Bobby Napiltonia, senior vice president, worldwide channels and alliances, salesforce.com. "Salesforce.com customers can quickly and easily deploy Personal Sales Goals to better manage sales reps performance and productivity. We are excited to have them as part of the AppExchange."
