Achieving Success with Salesforce: Embark on Your Journey with Confidence

Sales and marketing leaders, along with IT executives, understand that selecting a CRM can be a complex process. Once a committee is formed, the organization or consulting firm must evaluate various platforms. However, these decisions can sometimes lead to challenges related to bias, both internal and external. It's essential to consider CRM platforms objectively, especially with a solution as comprehensive as Salesforce in the mix. As a Salesforce Practice Lead at Master Software Solutions, I frequently encounter misconceptions specific to the Salesforce platform and suite of clouds. Addressing these concerns is crucial to moving forward in the evaluation process.

  • Salesforce is too expensive - This is a common misconception, as Salesforce offers a range of pricing options. During the sales process, your account executive will inquire about your short- and long-term strategies. It's important to evaluate not only license costs but also soft costs, such as time saved through automation. Understanding your requirements and considering different license types can help make the price of Salesforce more appealing.

  • We are too small for Salesforce - Companies of all sizes can benefit from Salesforce, depending on their specific use case and the strategy employed. Even small companies can effectively use Salesforce as their primary operational platform by integrating other solutions from the AppExchange.

  • There are too many clouds on their website - I don’t know which one I need." Salesforce offers various clouds tailored to different industries, providing out-of-the-box solutions. When evaluating which cloud to use, consider your organization's future vision and the potential challenges of migrating from one cloud to another.

  • I need to integrate with Salesforce, but I have other vendors’ products - Integrating with other systems is a common need, and Salesforce offers solutions like MuleSoft and traditional API access to assist with this. Integrations don't have to be daunting, especially with the resources and support available from Salesforce consulting services and consulting partners.

  • It’s hard to find talent - While finding skilled Salesforce professionals can be competitive, Salesforce offers a robust community and free training tools like Trailhead. Your system administrator should evaluate new releases and features to maximize the platform's benefits.

  • We tried Salesforce, and it didn’t work - Failed implementations are not unique to Salesforce and are often related to operational change management. Setting clear expectations and working closely with a trusted consulting partner like Master Software Solution can help ensure a successful implementation.
