Norwegian Innovator Keyteq and how Salesforce helps them focus on the customer

2. Products used by the Customer
Norwegian Keyteq is a web company
helping customers succeed in digital
channels. A big part of their own success
comes from emphasizing the importance
of enjoying work, and with Salesforce
communication is easy.
For internal communication and for
building their special team spirit Keyteq use
Chatter, instead of emails.
“What we did was to cut internal emails.
Emails are a nightmare and most of them
are not that informative. With Chatter
we can ask questions, share files, have
discussions or even polls and inform each
other. We use it for everything!”
At Keyteq everything from polls on what to
do at the summer party to discussions on
how to help their customers succeed takes
place on Chatter.
“Chatter has become our intranet and
it’s taking up more and more of our
communication, almost like standing by the
coffee machine”, Alexander Sundli-Härdig
says.
Communication between the two
Norwegian offices in Stavanger and Bergen
has also become a lot easier since the
switch from emails to Chatter.
“It’s a challenge working together in
different offices but now it’s easier and here
you can track the information. Emails get
lost, but not on Chatter. It enables us to
“CRM will be very
important in the future
when it comes to taking
care of your customers.
Your competitors will surely
act on them if you don’t “

3. Salesforce Case Study
Salesforce is the new hub for
information
Salesforce has now become Keyteq’s hub.
Everything from customer information,
such as phone numbers for contacts,
to projects and invoices: it’s all there on
Salesforce.
“We have even integrated Gmail into
the system, so each time I get an email
all Salesforce data pops up. And each
time I’m looking for something on my
customers or projects I find it in Salesforce”,
Alexander Sundli-Härdig says.
Customer success is our
success
Alexander Sundli-Härdig calls himself a
nerd. When he and the other co-founders
started Keyteq ten years ago, they were
driven by their passion for Internet. As
the years pass it’s getting increasingly
important to also do good business. But it’s
still the customer’s success that counts.
Keyteq mainly do big projects for
companies in Norway, looking at the
Internet as a focus area, providing services
such as media management, marketing,
web shop systems and social media
consulting, helping them succeed on the
web. But each year Keyteq takes on one
project for charity.
Over the last three years, the company
has been involved with a Norwegian
organization helping children in Brazil,
built a webpage communicating and
marketing a local group with Downs
Syndrome as well as helped out a street
magazine sold by homeless people in
Norway.
“We don’t care about the flashy stuff out
there that doesn’t work. We try to do our
very best to make our customers succeed
on the Internet.
No need to employ a
specialist
In 2010 Alexander Sundli-Härdig was
looking for a new CRM or sales system for
Keyteq. He contacted Salesforce while also
exploring other solutions.
“I found it to be too expensive at the time,
so we chose the cheaper open source
competitor, but it turned out it wasn’t a
smart move. Salesforce was actually half
the cost of the cheap alternative because
we didn’t have to employ someone to
maintain it”, he says.
Professionalizing the
company
Using Salesforce has helped Keyteq serve
bigger clients. The system helps Keyteq
govern the process, reporting and keeping
up to date as well as access extreme
knowledge on customer contracts and
agreements. It also enables employees to
keep an eye on things such as response
times and helps them evaluate their own
performances.
“Salesforce really helped professionalize
us. Knowing is the key to improve
yourself, because stuff doesn’t solve itself”,
Alexander says.
He is very keen on the dashboard that
gives snapshots on how Keyteq is doing
every day, and automatically spreads the
reports around the office.
