Steps to Take Before Fully Engaging in a Salesforce Implementation
Implementing Salesforce is a notoriously complex process that has a reputation for humbling even the most skilled teams. Salesforce is a complex CRM platform with many different products and an almost limitless capability for customization. That’s why planning and getting input from the system’s future users is important for building the right platform for your organization’s needs and achieving software ROI in the investment.
In fact, CRM implementation projects are known for having a failure rate of anywhere from 30 to 70%. But you have the power to make your software implementation and rollout a success. How you approach planning, implementing, and training will all impact the success of your CRM implementation project.
