8. Action: Engage
• Create and foster a tight relationship with IT
– Educate yourself about any computing/mobile policies
– Make sure you communicate mobile usage with IT (they may need to contact you for support)
• Revisit User Permissions
– Do your users have permission for the actions they will need on Salesforce1?
• Revisit Validation Rules and Workflow Rules
– Mobile allows us to be faster – do your validation rules allow for that?
• Sandbox/ Developer Org
– Your Platform for future engagement!
10. Action: Evaluate
• Pre-Rollout
– Business Process
– Global or Object Specific Actions
– Left Navigation
– Branding & Logo & Colors & Splash Page
– Compact Page Layouts
• Post-Rollout
– Chatter Feedback Group
– Report on Mobile Usage
12. Action: Mobile Mindset
• Build Specific Training for Mobile
– Should always be scenario based
– Should always be hands on
– Use One/One.App for Mobile focused training on the Desktop
• yourinstance.salesforce.com/one/one.app (ex: na9.salesforce.com/one/one.app)
• Chatter Push Notifications
• Communities on Salesforce1
– Does mobile provide the missing link between you and your customers and partners?

Facebook & IDC Report
Always Connected – How smartphones and social keep us engaged
IDC conducted an online survey of 1,000+ 18-44 year old iOS and Android smartphone owners in the U.S. each day for 1 week (Friday-Thursday) in March 2013, for a total number of respondents of 7,446.
This study was designed to understand how smartphone owners use their phones over the course of a day, with an emphasis on social and communication applications and services. While we asked about broader application categories the respondent used on their smartphone, most questions focused on a subset of communications and social applications and services. In various instances, we combined activities to assess those that are more active (creation) vs those that are more passive (consumption) or combined various activities by social network.
IDC found that during Tuesday through Thursday, 18-24 year old respondents were underrepresented. In order to correct for this, as well as to have our study reflect the current installed base of smartphones, we’ve weighted the data by both age and operating system.

What is a habit? Broken record response but hey, that’s kind of a habit.
Habits are repeatable actions that we make part of our job to make us, our users, and our executives more successful.
We frame out these habits like this – they all work together.
Frame habits with actions- arrows are actions and that’s how we move from one habit to another.

Jared: why did we start with this habit?
Mike: Answer and then transition to Jared to talk about the Action Items
Jared will talk about IT, User Permissions, VR/WFR (the goal is to be fast, do we still need these rules?)
Mike talks about Sandbox
The sandbox brings us to our next habit – Evaluate.
As we move into a more mobile world – we need to evaluate our solutions in a mobile world.
Not only do we need to look at our solutions in a desktop usage vs mobile usage, but we need to dive one level deeper and look at Pre-Rollout and Post Rollout evalution
Jared – Pre-Rollout
Mike – Post-Rollout

We have been talking about actions for our habits in terms of mobile, so we can get in the mobile mindset.
Mobile Mindset? Let’s get faster, more collaborative, and smarter with how we work.
How do we think in the mobile mindset? First we get our users to think about it too!
Mike talks training mobile emulator.
Jared talks Chatter, communities

The best part of being an admin. Right?
Don’t you love how people only talk to us in terms of emergencies? Even ideas are emergencies. Joy.
Great news! Mobile makes it easier for us!
Jared points 1 and 2 and will transition to Mike for 3 4 5.

But maybe we change how these habits work. Our mobile mindset should be how we think about any solution and should be involved in all of our conversations. Call Center – maybe the agents don’t need a mobile version but do the call center managers?
As mobile is taking over, we also need that way of thinking to frame what we do. We need to be the ones who are taking charge of our mobile usage and the impact of the browser usage.
Jared: Mike has to run right after this to another session – if any of you are going to __________ you should follow him! But now is your time to ask questions to both of us, or just Mike! Thank you!
Mike: Witty quip about sessions and running/rain
