💃 Drunk Salesforce Ideas (For Your Entertainment, Only) 🕺

Drunk Salesforce Ideas, But They Get Increasingly More Drunk

Good morning, Salesforce nerds. No intro needed, grab a refreshing beverage and enjoy ⬇️

FROM BAD TO RAD

Replace Chatter with Slack

Drinks 

🍺

What is it?

Replace the meh Chatter with the untapped superstar Slack.

Why?!

Chatter, thank you for service. Be gone!

Slack, welcome. You cost $27BB, let’s integrate you into the core product, where you will replace a real dud. The bar is low. Be great!

🤖

Salesforce AdminGPT

Drinks 

🍺🍺🍺

What is it?

When a Salesforce admin logs into their org, they’re welcomed with a familiar screen - a text box with a blinking cursor, awaiting your input.

You enter your stakeholder’s request, for example-

As a customer, I need the ability to select my shipping address and ship date.  I would like these fields pre-populated with ‘My Home Address’ and ‘ASAP,’ respectively.  But would like the ability to change these values during the purchasing process.

Then, AdminGPT spins up a dev sandbox, seeds data, builds the solution (a screen flow?), presents you a demo, including the WHAT, WHY, and list of considerations it took.

Why?!

A human decision-maker is critical to the solution process 💯.

But you know what a human isn’t critical for? Spinning up a box, seeding it with test data, unit testing, first-pass QA testing, and compiling considerations that are simple to explain to stakeholders.

Time-fairy stuff- give you your time back so you can put your efforts into strategy and tactics, and less on execution.

TWO ADMINS | ONE LICENSE

Salesforce Admin Co-Pilot

Drinks 

🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

What is it?

The drinks are kicking in. What’s better than an AI co-pilot? A human co-pilot!

🛩 Pilots have co-pilots for support. Why shouldn’t admins have co-admins?

2 admins. 1 license. 1 computer. SOX compliance be damned!

Why?!

Two brains are better than one. Four eyes are better than two. Plus, all these things-

  • Full-time encouragement.

  • Someone who has your back.

  • Someone who understands the business, the org, and the tech stack like you do.

This is perfect, what could go wrong? 🍻 

FREE.99

Dreamforce…but Free

Drinks 

🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

What is it?

Simple, it’s Dreamforce…but free!

Of course, you can’t have an unlimited amount of attendees, so Salesforce AEs are the gatekeepers, the golden ticket distributors. This gives them more leverage in their deal making.

Why?!

Do the drunk math-

$2k per Dreamforce ticket x 100k attendees = $200MM of revenue Salesforce would miss out on.

In 2023, Salesforce spent $13.5BB on sales and marketing

$200MM is 1.5% of $13.5BB. Tis but a scratch!

Make TDX free while you’re at it. 🍻 

THE GRASS ISN’T GREENER

It Could Be Worse

Drinks 

🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

What is it?

Salesforce isn’t perfect. That doesn’t mean you don’t have your frustrations!

🤬 The outdated admin UI.

🤬 Weird API limits.

🤬 Losing your Flow because you didn’t hit save.

And you vocally express your frustration with Salesforce 🤬🤬🤬

Triggered by your outburst, your org changes the screen to a SAP CRM user interface.

And it doesn’t go away until you say “It could be worse.”

Why?!

Salesforce has flaws 💯.

So, what other apps have you worked in that are comprehensively better?

Exactly. It could be worse.

CTRL + A + CELEBRATE

Cel-Hel

Drinks 

🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

What is it?

Cel-Hel is short for Celebration Hellscape.

You know when you’re in the casino and it’s DING DING DING from the slots 🎰. The craps tables are going crazy 🎲, everyone high-fiving the shooter. And the losers just wanna be winners, so they try and try again 🔄.

The Salesforce version of this- what do users love more than anything?

Happy Birthday Yes GIF

That’s right. Confetti 🎊 🎉.

Toggling on Cel-Hel in your org makes every user’s screen fill with confetti whenever anybody has an Opportunity-Closed-Won!!

Why?!

So. Many. Reasons.

  1. Winning environment, like a casino. Imagine that sales bullpen when the confetti is infinitely raining ☔️!

  2. See #1.

  3. 🍻 

🤩 😅

Sentiment Cloud

Drinks 

🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

What is it?

Ok. Hear this one out. Because it’s genius 🧠.

It’s a CRM. It has fields for first name, last name, and email. And that’s it. 

Everything else is emojis 🤗.

Why?!

Business, especially sales and marketing, is all sentiment. And emojis are just sentiment icons. See for yourself-

🙂 You feel good about your pipeline

😄 You feel great about your opportunity!

☃️ | 🏖️ This deal will close in the winter | summer

🌱 I’ve planted the seed, this deal needs time to grow

😩 That call didn’t go well….

💔 Opportunity Closed-Lost

🫰ATTN: Accounts receivable, this customer owes us $$$

😳 That’s a lot of open tasks

🥹 She complimented my shirt

🦄 Evergreen account

🤦 Boss, I can explain…
