Connect in Entirely New Ways with Social and Mobile Cloud Technologies
Effective use of customer advocates (a.k.a. references) has always been an inherently social, collaborative exercise between those who own customer relationships and those who want to share those customers’ stories. ReferenceEdge provides a specialized environment to store essential reference data, easily find it, request references and share relevant customer perspectives with buyers.
With ReferenceEdge, users now have everything they need when it comes to accessing customer reference information and managing the customer reference request workflow, all within Salesforce. Whether it’s leveraging the reporting and dashboard tools within Salesforce to quantify reference impact on revenue, or the enterprise grade infrastructure, security and access to a broad spectrum of roadmap innovation delivered as a result of the app being built on the Salesforce Platform, ReferenceEdge addresses the critical factors that customers demand for customer advocacy automation, to drive strong user adoption.
