Expenses on Salesforce | Webinar Highlights
On January 21st, Pracedo hosted a joint webinar with SalesTrip. Together we looked at how you can maximise your Salesforce investment and improve your expense efficiency.
Penny Townsend, from Pracedo, kicked off the event by discussing how the issues of adoption and completeness are common problems for companies using Salesforce. By completeness, Penny means Salesforce users complaining that they have too many systems and don’t know what to log in to for what. SalesTrip can help by making expense logging simple and efficient. ‘Taking an unpleasant experience and simplifying it inside of Salesforce is a strong incentive to get users to log on.’
Doing everything in one place and making a bad process better are powerful arguments to increase adoption

Matt Bray, VP Partnerships at SalesTrip, spoke about some of the difficulties surrounding logging expenses, describing the process as ‘time-consuming, frustrating, non-revenue generating and non-productive for both the employee and the employer’. He claimed that manual processes are a big problem which generates additional costs that can impact your organisation.
