Salesforce Maps for manufacturers, distributors & truck dealers

Showing up beats 1,000 emails. Salesforce Maps gets you there.

Mass email is dead, cold calls go to voicemail, and texting customers mostly annoys them. A rep at the door with a brochure, or better yet half a dozen donuts, still beats all of it, and in a market this competitive, being there is the biggest edge you've got. Maps tells your reps exactly where to be and builds the day that gets them there.

Google Maps shows you pins. Salesforce Maps tells you where to go next.

Your reps spend all day feeding Salesforce. That's the stick, and Maps is the carrot. It takes what's in your CRM, adds the sales history from your ERP or DMS and US business data on companies you don't even have yet, and turns all of it into routes that put your reps in front of the right people.

The Salesforce Maps Jumpstart

Most people think of Maps as pins on a page, and it does a lot more than that. Getting it running is less work than you'd think, because we do the heavy lifting and your team shows up and uses it. It can be live in as little as a week, and we know your people have real jobs, but this one is ours, so if your team can make the time, we'll keep up.

Discovery built around your territory

One session on your territory, your team and what your reps need to see, so nothing is a generic setup.

4 shape and 8 marker layers

Territories, activity, revenue and year over year trends, built on your own data.

2 prospect data layers

Net new companies from US business data plotted right next to your existing accounts.

Routing and mobile, done

Route building set up and every rep running Maps on their phone before we're finished.

Training at every session, plus 2 rollup fields

Your team learns as we build, and 2 DLRS rollups bring ERP or DMS numbers onto the account so the map has something to say.

Quick start
$5,900

A fixed price that gets your reps up and running fast, with room to grow from there.

Maps is only as smart as the data behind it

Pins on a map are where this starts, and on their own they're not that useful. Imagine every pin carrying what that customer bought this year against last year and how often they order, and suddenly the map is telling your rep where the money is. Getting that sales history into Salesforce is the work we're known for, and it's its own engagement, so ask us.

Questions about Salesforce Maps

What does a Salesforce Maps implementation cost?

$5,900 gets you a solid quick start, which covers discovery, 4 shape layers, 8 marker layers, 2 prospect data layers, route optimization, mobile setup for every rep, 2 rollup fields and training at every session. Bigger territories, more layers or an ERP or DMS integration add to that, and we'll tell you up front if you need any of them.

How long until my reps are using it?

In as little as a week. We know your team has real jobs and Maps is ours, so the pace mostly comes down to how much time your people can give us in those working sessions. Either way, every rep has Maps running on their phone before we're done.

Does our ERP or DMS need to be connected first?

No. Maps works with what's already in Salesforce, but it gets a lot smarter once your sales history from your ERP or DMS is flowing in, and that integration is a separate engagement we're glad to scope.

Does it work for truck dealers as well as manufacturers?

Yes. The same setup runs on DMS data from Karmak, Procede or CDK the way it runs on ERP data for a manufacturer or distributor.
