Who's Calling (http://www.whoscalling.com/) is a call-measurement, ad tracking and lead-producing service that helps businesses nationwide maximize the revenue-generating potential of the telephone. With Salesforce, Who's Calling is leveraging the benefits of a 17th-generation CRM solution, as well as new innovations, including the Customforce tool, for rapid, easy customization. Using Customforce, Who's Calling has been able to adapt Salesforce to meet its unique needs. Who's Calling is one of the 13,900 companies of all sizes that comprised the salesforce.com customer base as of Jan. 31, 2005.

"By implementing Salesforce, we can now properly follow up on sales leads, and understand how our marketing campaigns are doing on a day-to-day basis," said Shellie Pierce, director of marketing and communications, Who's Calling. "We are able to help our customers better than ever before -- not to mention our own staff. We've created almost 90 dashboards for each of our sales managers and for our Client Satisfaction staff."

In addition to creating dashboards for instant visibility into the health of the business, Who's Calling has created custom fields and objects that allow sales and marketing staff to categorize customer records based on the company's specific needs. For instance, with custom objects, users can identify customers based on length of their relationship with Who's Calling, amount of billings, and vertical market.

"With the Web-to-lead features in Salesforce, we can now easily and cost-effectively create follow-on lead-generation programs," said Pierce. "In 2003, launching this type of campaign was more difficult and expensive. In 2004, we generated an additional 2,000 leads and salesforce.com did much of the web development work, saving us thousands of dollars."

With Customforce, salesforce.com provides every company the power to be unique.
