2. Lack of Focus and Vision
It is critical for your company to have a clear strategic roadmap and post implementation plan when integrating Sales Cloud into your company’s system.
At Enehano Solutions, we guide you with our 4 step process of implementation:
Analysis: At the start of every project, it’s necessary to clarify the project’s goals and KPIs. We help our clients specify their expectations and the project’s scope and we recommend best practices.
Implementation and testing: Taking into account our clients’ needs as well as the scope of the project, we choose an appropriate way to manage the whole project. As a result of choosing the right approach, we can help our clients specify their needs and the project scope.
Deployment and training: We know that the real work starts after the project is deployed to production. We provide consultation and, immediately after deployment, we are ready for the ad hoc adjustments and changes that are an integral part of the first weeks after a new system is launched. Of course, user and technical training for employees is always given.
Optimization and development: In view of today’s dynamic environment, we recommend applying the 80/20 rule to your first release: 20% of the functions will handle 80% of your requirements. To make sure the first recommendation works properly, it’s necessary to carry out an evaluation and develop the key next steps.
By having this strategic planning process for pre and post implementation of Salesforce, your company will be able to maximize your ROI out of this solution.
