CHATTER COMMUNICATION
Chatter is a service provided by Salesforce that helps drive the exchange of ideas and information and is
available to all YP team members. Chatter supports YP’s commitment to give team members the tools
needed to help fuel further success by enabling better ways to communicate, collaborate and share.
In conjunction with a Task, Chatter is the method you will use to communicate to Sales and other CXO
team; as well as how to escalate a Case when necessary to meet SLAs.
IMPORTANT: PLAY BY THE RULES!!
Although Chatter is an internal communication and collaboration tool, team members should still
follow YP’s Social Media Participation Guide and protocols, including:
Not posting anything that is offensive or harmful to others
Keep it professional and work-related. Do not post anything that you would not want
your team leader or other colleagues to read
Be constructive. Chatter is not the forum for critical comments about YP, its customers,
vendors or team members

TASKS
Some customer calls and emails that YP receive require one or more actions, next steps or what we will call
a “Task.” Tasks will help CXO team members more effectively manage, plan and communicate “to do’s”
associated with each of our advertisers.
Tasks will:
Create and utilize a history of customer interactions
Plan and execute more proactive customer interactions
Support continuity and timely execution
The vast majority of Tasks in Salesforce will be created & managed by the individuals who will execute
them; however Tasks can be ASSIGNED to other individuals to take action on an account. Along with
the use of Chatter, CXO will create Tasks and assign them to Sales when more information is needed or
if they need to contact the customer.
HOW TO CREATE A TASK
