Distribution Shared Services - How To…. Series
Salesforce.com - Working with Campaigns
Introduction
Campaigns are used to group together advisors or contacts for tracking responses to a specific business objective. For example, you can use a campaign to select advisors for an event, email a newsletter or other publication or article, or track their sales after a specific educational event. Salesforce users will use Campaigns as a method of sending out mass-email with Genius™. For these users, refer only to the 2: Create and Execute the Campaign
and 3:Add Campaign Members steps – your campaigns are „transient‟ and will only be required for that mailing. Once the email is sent, your campaign can be removed. Campaigns are accessed from the CAMPAIGNS tab and all users can see all campaigns. While Campaigns are created, managed and cloned from
this tab, they are also accessible from the Lead, Contact and Advisor Objects. If you do not see Campaigns in Salesforce, you may not be setup as a Marketing User. Contact your Subject Matter Expert to submit a request for you to get access to campaigns. Campaigns are not
available in Salesforce Mobile. Parent Campaigns
Parent Campaigns are “holding” campaigns that group all
the campaigns for the business. Parent Campaigns help organize campaigns and facilitate reporting. All user-created campaigns must be created under one of these parent campaigns.
Before using campaigns, each Salesforce user should check with their Subject Matter Expert to determine where their campaigns should reside, and if any naming conventions are in place.
Users are responsible for their campaigns - Only campaigns created at the parent level will be maintained by Distribution Shared Services. Any
campaigns not created properly will be removed by Distribution Shared Services as part of regular Salesforce maintenance.
To place your campaign under a Parent Campaign, select the appropriate campaign where requested:
Campaign Views
Campaign views have been created for each business/channel. Contact [email protected] if you would like to have a view created for your team‟s campaigns.
There are five steps to a successful campaign:
1. Plan the Campaign
2. Create & execute the Campaign
3. Add Campaign Members
4. Track Responses
5. Measure Campaign Data

1: Plan the Campaign
When planning the campaign, you should ask: 1) What is the purpose of this campaign?
2) Do I need to group the objects by matching a specific criteria? Or will I be selecting based on their name only?
3) In Salesforce terms, what are the criteria that will I use to gather the campaign members? Hint: Use the object to help develop your criteria. For example, if you
wish to select all Elite Advisors, refer to the ADVISOR object for a specific advisor to find out how to select Elite status.
4) Do I need to review the list of group members and/or remove or add additional
members? For example, I may select all Elite advisors, but then add a couple more
advisors (not Elite) who have expressed an interest.
5) Do I need to track responses in the campaign? If so, what are the milestones I want to track. For example, if you use a Campaign to track work with your advisors on a specific initiative, you may want to track the stages of your project.
2: Create and Execute the Campaign
Scenario: You wish to set up a Campaign for an Email Communication
1) Click on CAMPAIGNS tab. If you do not have the Campaigns tab visible, click on ALL TABS icon, then click on Campaigns.
2) Click on NEW. 3) Type the following:
Campaign Name Type the Campaign name (following the naming
conventions established by your Channel/Business Unit) Type Use the arrow to select “Email”
Parent Campaign Type the Parent Campaign name or use the Lookup icon to search for the Campaign.

Scenario: You wish to Track Milestones For a Specific Objective
In my example, I am creating a Campaign to track my success with a group of advisors I wish to introduce to RepSource‟s Campaign Manager.
1) Click on CAMPAIGNS tab. If you do not have the Campaigns tab visible, click on ALL TABS icon, then click on Campaigns.
2) Click on NEW. 3) Type the following:
Campaign Name Type the Campaign name (following the naming
conventions established by your Channel/Business Unit) Type Use the arrow to select the type of Campaign.
Parent Campaign Type the Parent Campaign name or use the Lookup icon to search for the Campaign.
Description Type some text to describe the purpose of this campaign. Status If you are ready to work on this campaign now, change the
status to “In Progress”.
You can leave the Campaign set to PLANNED until you are ready to launch it.
Active If you are ready to launch your Campaign, check the Active Field.
4) Click SAVE.
Your campaign has been created. Campaign Status
Before adding campaign members, decide if you will be creating Campaign Status entries for this campaign. In my example, I‟ll use the following status entries to identify the milestones in my Campaign:
Contact Required Indicates that I have not yet booked or had a meeting with this advisor to discuss the merits of Repsource‟s Campaign Manager.
Not Interested Indicates that this advisor is not interested in using Campaign Manager.
In Progress This advisor is using one of the Campaigns available. Analyze Results The campaign is finished and the resulting statistics need to
be analyzed with the Advisor to determine success of the campaign.
Active This advisor has successfully completed an email campaign and has sufficient knowledge to use the tool on his/her own.

The Campaign Member Status fields are free-form, you can enter whatever milestones you wish to track in your campaign. Once you have created the status entries, you will change the status for each advisor as they move through this campaign.
Change the Default Responses:
5) To change the default responses, click on ADVANCED SETUP button.
a. Click EDIT to modify the standard responses of Sent & Responded.
b. Add your own responses and determine which will be the default response when you select a contact, lead or advisor and which responses will count as in the Campaign Statistics.
c. Use the ADD MORE Button to add additional responses besides the two values shown.
d. Click SAVE to save the responses.
Now, you are ready to add members. Proceed to the Add Campaign Members section to add your advisors, Marketing Assistants, and/or Field Team members.
If you did not set your campaign to active, remember to change the Status and Active setting (steps 3 & 4).
3: Add Campaign Members
There are three ways that you can add a contact, lead or advisor object to a Campaign:
Report
o Reports allow for numerous records to be added to a campaign.
o Only Leads and Contact Objects can be added to a Campaign via a report.
View
o Available for Leads, Contacts or Advisor Objects.
o Allows users to use Recognition data and Relationship Fields to select Advisors.
o Only 200 line items can be displayed at one time, therefore advisors must be added “200” at a time.
o Advisor Views are only available for channel-specific users.
Individual Contact, Lead or Advisor Object
o Each contact, lead or advisor is added one-at-a-time. o Useful for “one-off‟s”.
Any method can be used and more than one method can be used for the same campaign. For example, you may initially build your Campaign with a View, and add other contacts with a different View or individually by their object record.

Add Campaign Members with a Report
Only Contacts and Lead objects can be used to generate reports with names to be added as Campaign Members. Use the Campaigns (Manulife)

To add these contacts or leads to a Campaign: 1) Click on the report to generate the list of
Contacts/Leads.
2) When the report data is displayed, click on ADD TO CAMPAIGN button.
3) Select the Campaign using the Lookup icon.
4) If necessary, modify the Member Status. Note that for email campaigns to be
delivered through the Genius™ Tool, you must leave the Member Status to Sent. 5) Click on ADD TO CAMPAIGN.
6) A message will display when the records have been added to the Campaign. Add Campaign Members with a View
Advisor, Contacts and Lead objects can be added to a Campaign from a View. A view is a list of Advisors, Contacts or Leads. Views are available on the main page for the object. To add these records to a Campaign:
1) Click on ADVISOR, LEAD or CONTACT Tab. Select the View from the list. 2) Place a beside the records to be include. To select all records from the list
(maximum 200), check the box beside the first column heading . 3) Click the ADD TO CAMPAIGN button.
4) Select your campaign from the Campaign list using the lookup icon.

7) A message will display when the records have been added to the Campaign. Click DONE.
8) If necessary, repeat for each View page.
If you get the error message shown below, you are a channel-neutral user and as such, do
not have the logic required to select the underlying Contact for this Advisor. You will need to select your Campaign members from the Contacts View.
Add Campaign Members Individually

For Campaigns with Milestones, track the responses by changing the Member Status as the member moves through the Campaign process. Modify the Member Status from the
Advisor, Contact or Lead object or directly through the Campaign. Advisor, Contact, Lead Object

5: Measure Campaigns
Campaigns are measured through the Campaign Reports, specifically those reports that are located on the Campaign Object page. These reports use the fields within a campaign to total the Number of Responses, and other statistics. By default, they will print information for “My Campaigns”– that is campaigns that you have created.
Campaign ROI Analysis Report –calculates the return on investment (ROI) and average costs for your campaigns. ROI is calculated as the net gain (Total Value Won Opps - Actual Cost) divided by the Actual Cost. The ROI result is expressed
as a percentage.
Campaign Member Analysis Report – Displays information about who has responded to campaigns. Use this report to view how “successful” your campaign is.
Campaign Revenue Report – can be used to analyze which opportunities have resulted from your campaigns.
In addition, you may find some Campaign level reports available in your regular Salesforce Report folder. Contact your Subject Matter Expert to see if there are any Campaign reports developed for you.
