Salesforce Mobile App Rollout: Roll Out the Salesforce App to Your Users

Admin Intermediate > Salesforce Mobile App Rollout > Roll Out the Salesforce App to Your Users

Before You Launch

you should do before your launch:

  • Migrate, then test. If you migrated your mobile customizations from your sandbox to your production environment, test everything again to make sure the Salesforce app is working as expected.
  • Control access. By default, all users have access to the Salesforce app. If you’re doing a phased rollout, define which employees can use the mobile app during this stage of your rollout. See Control Access and Security for the Salesforce Mobile App in Salesforce Help for details.
  • Collect a baseline. Take an analytic snapshot of the metrics your company is using to define success. Then you can use that data as a baseline for measuring the business impact of your rollout. 성공이라 말할수 있는 지표가 필요해요. 새로운 버젼이 비즈니스에 미치는 영향 분석
  • Take it to Chatter. Create a public, company-wide Chatter group where your users can ask questions about the mobile app and access training materials. Make sure your super users are engaged and ready to swarm on the questions that get posted in the group.

Ready… set… GO!

Motivate Users

During the launch event, you see a huge spike in logins and activity. but after the confetti(색종이조각) settles and the initial fanfare(과열, 과시) is over, you see a decline in usage.

some ideas that might help you drive adoption:

  • Produce helpful content. After the launch, continue to release short one-minute recorded screenshares that promote time-saving features available in the Salesforce app.
  • Don’t stop marketing. Your mobile users will probably start telling you about moments when the Salesforce app saved the day. Share those mobile success stories on Chatter, including a photo of the user in action. Get a testimonial from a few executives as employees follow the example set by their leaders.
  • Get organic exposure. Why take photos of your users when they’d be happy to do it themselves? It’s the selfie era! Have a contest on Chatter and ask mobile users to post photos of themselves using the app, with a prize for the most likes. Not only does that give your users a chance to shine, it also creates buzz about the mobile app.
  • Make it a game. Ignite some friendly competition among your users by running a login report, and then doling out cool prizes to users with the most mobile logins. Create a dashboard for the contest leaderboard.
  • Use sales as an incentive. If you rolled out the Salesforce app to your sales team, you can use the current sales contest or selling initiative to drive mobile adoption. Create a dashboard that shows how the sales reps are performing against their goal, and the reps will be motivated to check the dashboard in the Salesforce app.

Collect Feedback

 listen to your users. collect feedback about overall satisfaction and any pain points.

some ideas for gathering feedback from users:

  • Take it to Chatter. Use the Chatter group you created to support your mobile rollout. Employees can post ideas and suggestions there.
  • Make it easy. Allow users to provide input directly from the Salesforce app. You can use the standard case object or implement your own solution, like a Mobile Feedback custom object, a quick action, or a Visualforce page.
  • Provide multiple feedback options. Send out surveys, host open forums, or conduct simple Chatter polls.
  • Keep in contact. Meet with your super users regularly to gather valuable insights from the field.

Also, don’t forget to update your training programs for new hires! Incorporate the Salesforce app into your existing Salesforce onboarding activities.

Measure Adoption and Business Impact

review your metrics and figure out exactly how you want to measure them.

If your metrics include employee satisfaction, you can gather data using some of the methods we already discussed, like surveys, forums, and polls. For other types of metrics, create reports and dashboards to track your results. Take reporting snapshots and start comparing the data month after month to see if there are any increases.
