Communities

Salesforce Communities

Salesforce is a customer relationship management solution that brings companies and customers together. It’s one integrated CRM platform that gives all your departments — including marketing, sales, commerce, and service — a single, shared view of every customer.

Salesforce offers a wide variety of CRM categories and systems to meet your needs, including Sales Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Service Cloud, Analytics Cloud, Data Cloud, Community Cloud, App Cloud, and IoT, serving more than 150,000 customers.

At the end of the day, the only CRM that offers the full range of features and functionality, at a cost that is scalable to fit any business, is Salesforce. And, with the free 30-day trial offered to all new prospective clients, that’s a truth that you’ll be able to discover for yourself.

Communities Quick Start Suite

More than 25% of higher education and non-profit organizations opt to go without a donor and alumni community because of costs and complexity. 

Our easy to implement Quick Start Suite Community solution provides your constituents easy access to share their data and get engaged with your organization and their classmates and peers. 

Salesforce provides the technology to make this a reality and we have developed standard features like Regional and Class Networking, Class Notes, E-Store, and more.

Wisr

Your institution’s alumni relations team relies on past students for a key function: connections. But to succeed in this effort, your institution has to not only remain in contact with alumni but must turn them from passive to engaged community members. That engagement is not immediate, so it’s critical that you nurture alumni toward these opportunities. Once they’ve signed up, they can specify the types of opportunities they want to participate in, ranging from mentoring career-exploring students to organizing virtual get togethers to forming industry groups.

Communities for Similar Interests and regional chapters
Member-created communities provide an easy way to support groups with shared interests, identities, goals, and geographic locations. Some common real-life examples of communities include Future Entrepreneurs, First-Generation Students, Charity & Non-Profit Professionals, and Alumni in New York.
