- [Instructor] As social selling grows
and becomes integrated into the sales process,
the obvious questions are about metrics.
Sales is used to measure everything
and social is no different.
So what are some of the additional metrics you can measure?
We can measure things like new social media followers
and subscribers, new leads from social,
new opportunities from social,
close sales from social, and total revenue from social.
All of these metrics can be easily measured
in Salesforce reporting.
Reports are really an essential feature of Salesforce
and Salesforce has created a lot of options
for you to review.
So let's take a look at that now.
So let's go to the Reports area.
You'll see that in this area, Salesforce has already created
some of the most commonly viewed reports for you.
There are Opportunity Reports, Sales Reports, Lead Reports.
Salesforce does a good job of creating many
of the most frequently used reports.
So let's take a look at Opportunity Reports.
We'll just click here and I want to identify
which of our opportunities came from social.
So you'll see, these are all of the different reports
that Salesforce has come up with.
And in my experience, it's always easier to edit
an already created report than to create one from scratch.
So here's a great one, Opportunity Sources.
What sources are my opportunities coming from?
So I'm going to click on that
and you'll see we have some information
to customize that here.
So we can look at the Close Date.
We can look at the Current Full Year or Full Quarter.
I'm going to change this to the Current
and Previous Full Year.
And you'll see you have a lot of options here.
And then it shows All Opportunities.
I want us to go and to look at Closed Opportunities
and I'll Run the Report.
Now, you'll see I get a quick summary here
and it shows four records are not attributed
to a Lead Source.
We can actually change that if we wanted to
if we talked to our Salesforce admin
and made it required to add that.
That's fairly simple to change.
We have Web, Phone, we have two leads that came from Social,
which is great.
Now, if we want to see the detail here,
we just go up to show details
and we'll see a lot more information here.
Now, this is great.
These reports are also highly customizable.
So if I hit on the customized button,
this brings up a drag and drop screen.
So I can look at a few different things.
So I have a lot of columns here and scroll down
and I can take these and I can Remove Columns
for example, if I want to, and then I can Add Columns.
So if I want to look at Expected Revenue, for example,
I simply hold that down and bring it over, and drag it,
and that shows up.
So I have some great information here.
I'm going to save this report now.
I'm going to go up here to the Save button
and I can put a Report Description in here.
And the great thing is that I can save this a few ways.
So, first I can save it in My Personal Custom Reports.
That means only I will see it, it's my personal folder.
I can also save it in Unfilled Public Reports,
which means everyone will have access to it.
If I want to share the report,
or if I'm creating it for someone else,
I can put it in there.
And then Salesforce does allow you to create folders
that are only available to specific people in Salesforce.
So I previously created one for a California Team,
and that folder is only available to people
who've I've assigned access to.
So right now I'm going to save it
in Personal Customer Reports and you'll see that safe now.
And I can still edit it if I need to, or I can close it.
It always gives you a nice reminder, which is helpful.
And then you'll see it shows up right here.
