Even though Salesforce's Summer 20 is delayed a bit (coming out in mid-July now), the release notes are out which means it's time for our release write-ups. Before jumping in, I just want to say I hope everyone is healthy and hanging in there with the pandemic and all of…
Thanks to everyone who joined our webinar, RPA For Salesforce Service Cloud. For those of you who missed it, you can watch the recording here. We received some great questions and couldn't get to all of them live during the session, so we wanted to publish a follow-up post with…
Before getting into the RPA details, I just want to say I hope all of you are healthy and doing as well as you can with the current pandemic. These are definitely challenging and unprecedented times but it has been uplifting to see how many of our customers and partners…

Alright, we're on the last part of our Spring 20 release write-up. It's getting hard to keep up with all of the different products & clouds, but even with just the areas we write about, this was a huge release. In Part 1 we discussed the Sales Cloud and Platform…
Spring 20 is getting close and there's a ton of new features in it. In Part 1 of our Spring 20 write-up we covered all of the Sales Cloud features (including a bunch of free Einstein!) and in Part 2 we covered all of the Service Cloud and Field Service…
2020 is here and each New Year brings a lot of resolutions and new goals for folks to embark on. Companies normally aren't much different and here at GearsCRM we have an exciting year ahead of us. We had a great 2019: our 10th year anniversary, being named in the…
Happy 2020 everyone! Hopefully, this year and decade is a terrific and productive one for you. I thought it was going to be annoying have Christmas and New Years on a Wednesday, but it actually wound up working out where the traffic wasn't as bad and the re-entry on 1/2…
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and I hope everyone has a terrific upcoming New Year. It's hard to believe the year is almost over, let alone the decade. The 2010's were a big decade for us at Gears (it's hard not to be when all but 6 months of our existence…
Anyone that reads our blogs on a regular basis knows that Service Cloud is my favorite cloud and is near and dear to my heart. I love all of the different use cases of how our customers provide incredible service to their own customers and how Salesforce's platform provides an…

As I mentioned in our part 1, we're a little late with the write-ups this release due to Labor Day and then our Gears Annual Company Meeting. We're typically ahead of the release, but this weekend the last of the instances were updated and everyone is now on Winter 20.…
A bit of an international edition for this one, as I'm up in Toronto for the weekend and writing it on the road. I had the awesome pleasure of seeing Thom Yorke live up here on Friday and I'm still dancing in my head to those tunes so I'm ready…
Winter 20 is coming right around the corner and I am super late with these blog posts. The main reason I'm late is last week we had our annual company meeting for 2019 up in Ogunquit Maine. At Gears, these company meetings are a big deal. As a fully virtual…
Today is the 10th Anniversary of GearsCRM and for the last three weeks - while I tried to figure out this blog - I've been trying to wrap my head around everything that has happened in those 10 years. We definitely started off small - just myself and a plan…
