Jigsaw 3rd Annual Rainmaker Event in Las Vegas

I recently attended the 3rd Annual Rainmakers Event in Las Vegas from June 19th to June 22nd.
Jigsaw is a crowd sourced contact information platform that makes it easy for sales people to find the relevant contact details of people in their industry.

Rainmakers are Jigsaws most trusted and engaged users.  As a thank you for our hard work Jigsaw, who is owned by Salesforce, throws one of the greatest parties I’ve ever attended.  

Well it’s not all fun and games; the primary focus is to get hard user data about experience design, usability, and functionality from these Rainmakers.  Since we, Rainmakers, are using and interacting with the platform on a weekly or even daily basis our experience and pain points are high on their radar and they want to know about it.

I think this is a great way to get your super users involved and to give their feedback; put them up in a fancy hotel, feed them, and give them plenty of opportunities to interactive with the product teams to build a user driven top notch platform.  I can seriously attest from experience that it is a true pleasure to work with these guys.  It makes me want to work even harder every day to help them attain quality information.    

During the event we listened to keynotes from the top Salesforce people, interacted in roundtable discussions, and participated in user feedback groups.  After the main conference events we were given fun scavenger hunt tasks to complete for a chance to win some very cool prizes; like mac book airs, iPads, and Apple TVs.  Jigsaw also reserved the Ghost Bar on top of the Palms featuring a live band and all the free alcohol you could drink just to show their appreciation.
 
Overall the event left me feeling great! I met some interesting people, made some great connections, and didn’t have to spend a dime.  If you’re a sales person prospecting without Jigsaw I would say you’re pretty much dead in the water.  Do yourself a favor and get on board with Jigsaw.  Jigsaw (Salesforce) is a great company and I highly recommend giving it a try and maybe someday I’ll see you at the 4th Annual Jigsaw Event in Liva Las Vegas!
