I gave a little bit of background on the Salesforce.com user group community in this post a few months ago, and I wanted to bring it up again and send out a special request to the SFDC community at large out there…
I’m looking for recommendations and examples of great tools and reports and dashboards that you Salesforce.com power users and junkies have downloaded off of the AppExchange and use for free. I’m not interested in tools that have a "free trial" or tools that have pay-as-you-go features — I am only interested in honest to goodness free tools. So, anything from the community that has been posted to the AppExchange, anything from Salesforce Labs, any reports or dashboards you have found on the AppExchange…let me know in a post down below.
The next San Francisco Salesforce.com User Group meeting is on
Thursday, September 18th and the theme is "Guerilla" Salesforce.com — since much of the Salesforce.com user community is from companies with sales or marketing departments of less then 10 people, it is always interesting to see how much these small groups can accomplish with limited resources and limited budgets. Hence my interest in what users have been able to accomplish with the free tools available to them. I’d love to hear some stories. Let me have them!
We’ll also be talking about Dreamforce and sorting the the tracks and sessions, with alumni sharing thoughts on sessions that are being brought back and exploring all the new stuff coming up in November. If you are in the Bay Area and are interested in attending the meeting on the 18th, register for the San Francisco user group here.
