			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to the Apprivo Seven Reasons series. For the next few weeks, I’ll hone in on a specific Apprivo product and provide 7 reasons why it delivers unrivaled Salesforce enhancements and business results. Why 7? Because top 10 lists are so last year.</p>
<p>Our topic today—<a href="http://www.apprivo.com/products_apprivo_dynamic_public_groups" target="_blank">Apprivo Dynamic Public Groups</a>.</p>
<p><strong>#7 You can share without the scare</strong></p>
<p>While sharing information with your employees, partners, and customers is an important Salesforce capability, you can’t risk sharing the wrong information with the wrong people. With Apprivo Dynamic Public Groups, you won’t have to.</p>
<p><strong>#6 You can manage without the…head bandage…</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Manual Public Group management can create all kinds of headaches. Group membership is defined either by individual user, which isn’t scalable, or by user role, which quickly becomes unmanageable. Apprivo Dynamic Public Groups makes these worries a thing of the past.</p>
<p><strong>#5 You can say important-sounding words.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Everything sounds better with the word “Dynamic” in front of it. Go ahead, try it out.</p>
<p><strong>#4 You can keep groups tidy and safe</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Apprivo Dynamic Pubic Groups uses a rules-based approach to automatically and dynamically manage Public Group membership by user account attributes. That means group upkeep is faster, easier, and safer.</p>
<p><strong>#3 You can write rules that totally rule</strong></p>
<p>Who controls those rules? You do. You can create reliable rules using account attributes to automatically define Public Group member. That way users always have the right level of access to the right information.</p>
<p><strong>#2 You can save big on theme park admission</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Just tell them you’re part of a Dynamic Public Group. They’ll have to give you a discount, right?</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>#1 You can make Salesforce work for your business.</strong></p>
<p>Simply put, if you’re looking to reduce admin costs and boost user satisfaction, you need to streamline group management and improve information access. And there’s no better way to do that than with Apprivo Dynamic Public Groups</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a tough economy, gaining new customers can be a daunting task. For a lot of businesses, it may be next to impossible. That’s why keeping the customers you have—and keeping them satisfied—is now more important than ever.</p>
<p>A recent report from Forrester details the importance of customer service in a down economy. <a href="http://www.forrester.com/Research/Document/Excerpt/0,7211,48321,00.html" target="_blank">In the report</a>, senior analyst Natalie Petouhoff accurately identifies four ways customer service impacts revenue:</p>
<p>1.    A good customer experience boosts repurchase probability and long-term loyalty<br />
2.    Poor service leads a customer to defect<br />
3.    A lackluster interaction may lead to lost opportunities<br />
4.    Bad experiences also result in hidden costs &#8212; in particular, the additional money required to market and sell to new consumers</p>
<p>I don’t mean to ramble on about the merits of good customer service. It’s common sense, really—why shop at the store where the clerks are jerks when there’s one across the street with nice, helpful folks and similar prices?</p>
<p>But improving your customer service does you no good if it requires a massive, long-term investment. Keeping customers happy is one thing—busting your budget wide open to do it is another.</p>
<p>Apprivo has a number of solutions that can help you stimulate customer loyalty and boost agent effectiveness—all within Salesforce. We’ll help you create a <a href="http://www.salesforce.com/crm/customer-service-support/">customer service cloud</a> that doesn’t just react to customer problems, but also lets you better listen to your customers and remain proactive.</p>
<p>And here’s a proof point, because I know you love them—we helped Freedom Financial Network increase customer service throughput by 50% and double the overall productivity of call center agents. Imagine what we could do for your business.</p>
<p>I’d like to offer you the opportunity to watch a recorded webinar from June 2009 featuring myself and representatives from <a href="http://www.salesforce.com" target="_blank">salesforce.com</a> and <a href="http://www.freedomfinancialnetwork.com/" target="_blank">Freedom Financial Network</a>. Rather than focusing on theory, this webinar offers real-world tips for improving customer service.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.apprivo.com/lp_csw_customer_service" target="_blank">Register</a> to watch the free webinar now.</p>
