We know it’s only July, but we’ve already begun our preparations for Dreamforce 2009. This year Salesforce.com is spicing things up a bit and starting the conference on a Tuesday! (Actual sessions start on Wednesday). You can see the agenda here.

MK Partners is proud to announce a special discounted rate for our Nonprofit clients of only $99.00 for the first 400 registrants. After that the price goes up to $199.00. If you don’t work for a Nonprofit, the current rate is $799.00. Either way, it’s a great investment and one that is well worth the money.

MK Partners has also worked out some discounted hotel rooms and rental cars (not that we recommend renting a car in SF).

Visit our Dreamforce page at www.mkpartners.com/dreamforce to get your discount codes and stay tuned for more Dreamforce updates over the coming months!

As a salesforce.com user, I continue to be impressed by the ability of salesforce.com to consistently reinvent itself and evolve. As the seasons turn, so do the capabilities of my salesforce.com license. Salesforce.com has been able to go from being a product used by sales people to store data and build relationships, to an integrated solution for users regardless of their industry, title, or business needs. Perhaps nothing highlights salesforce.com’s reputation as a revolutionary leader in the industry than when revolutionary figures in other industries endorse your product. When legendary musician Neil Young stepped on stage at Dreamforce, salesforce.com’s annual user’s conference, I knew salesforce.com had once again cemented its place as an industry leader.

Neil Young, who has always been on the cutting edge of music, attended Dreamforce to share that he is now on the cutting edge of technology. Dedicated to rivitalizing the automobile as a vehicle  that is not only an effective means of transportation, but environmentally friendly and cost-efficient, Neil Young discussed how he is using salesforce.com to create a community that will continue to push his idea for transforming the automobile.

Using the force.com platform, Neil Young is using salesforce.com ideas to generate feedback and new thoughts on his Linc Volt  car. By leveraging salesforce.com’s technology, Neil Young is striving to build a grassroots movement around something as traditionally American as apple pie and baseball, the car.

If you are interested in learning more about how Neil Young is using salesforce.com to change the automobile, check out his key note address at Dreamforce at the links below.

With 2008 coming to a close, most companies are focused on wrapping up for the year. But in fact, MK Partners is still hard at work on new products and offerings for you and your organization.

Today we did our first live demo of the new Salesforce CRM Plus Nonprofit Pack. We are honored to have been chosen by salesforce.com to lead this project, which is a redesign of the nonprofit template. We enjoyed talking with many organizations at Dreamforce about the new features and enhancements that we implemented. You can sign up for a free trial here.

With that in mind, while we eagerly look towards the new year we realize there are plenty of opportunities to help you succeed in your salesforce.com optimization and implementation, allowing you get a jump start NOW on your goals for 2009.

That’s why we’re introducing complimentary salesforce.com support for nonprofit organizations. We’ve put together a support portal where you can submit questions, chat with our employees and search our extensive knowledge-base.

If you’ve just signed up for the new nonprofit pack and have questions, who better to ask than the company in charge of its redesign?

We look forward to hearing from you!

MK Partners is a proud sponsor of Dreamforce ‘08, happening in San Francisco November 2nd-5th. There, we’ll be introducing some of our exciting new products, and continuing our education on how to take advantage of the latest salesforce.com innovations for you.

We hope to see you there! Stop by and say hi, we’ll be at booth #353.

This year we’re happy to announce our charity giveaway. When you visit our booth, leave us your business card and you are eligible to win a $1,000 donation to the charity of your choice, on behalf of MK Partners.

As a leader in the nonprofit community, we are pleased to make this donation and show our support.
