1. 5 Steps to choose Salesforce consulting partner
Once you are decided to make the move to
Salesforce for CRM. Or possibly you’re already
using Salesforce CRM but are looking to take
further advantage of the system to generate
required ROI. The next big step is figuring out the
best way to implement it. Choosing the right
business partner is not just about making the
implementation process as smooth as possible;
it's also setting up a productive professional
working relationship that should last well into
the future - from initial project scoping through deployment, training, support and future
upgrades. Bodhtree's Salesforce implementation services help you get up and running fast to
deliver better experiences for your customers and make life easier for your staff. But what
happens once you’ve made that decision? What’s the best way to get the solution running as
quickly and effectively as possible?
The answer is to work with an implementation partner who can escort the entire process by
industry best practices. Here are five key points to consider.
1) EXPERIENCE
The importance of experience simply can’t be understated. Let us think in this way: who would
you rather have your doctor, someone just passed out of a medical school or someone who has
a few notches on their belt? While the recompenses might not be as high, the benefits of
experience are just as great when it is about implementing Salesforce. With experience comes
innate knowledge about how to overcome some of the common challenges, eventually providing
a faster implementation and a better end result.
2) CERTIFICATIONS
Salesforce has a number of certifications for developers, administrators and more through to
certified technical architects. To receive these Salesforce certifications, people must undergo
arduous testing to prove their knowledge of the solution and their ability to cater to the relevant
situations. Working with the partner whose team is highly certified means that you are in very
skilled hands.
3) SATISFIED CLIENTS
Once you are assured about the experience and certifications, it’s always important to do your
due diligence and see what the partners existing client have to say by the means of their success
stories. You will be working closely with your implementing partner, so it’s always smart to check
in with their customers to be sure that they can provide what you are looking for in terms of
project deliverability, responsiveness, etc. After all, would you buy a new product on Flipkart
without reading the reviews first? Probably not.

2. 4) INDUSTRY EXPERTISE
Now that you have analyzed on the experience, certifications and satisfied clients, the next step
is to determine if they have any expertise specific to your industry. The industry expertise can
prove to be a big advantage when it comes to delineating capabilities, mapping them back to
business needs and following implementation best practices. A partner with varied industry
expertise will have deeper understanding into your specific pain points and can offer more
educated, well - researched solutions on how to use Salesforce to solve respective problems.
Additionally, the partner’s experience implementing similar solutions for others in your industry
should be a ready reckoner enabling your implementation faster and smoother.
5) GEOGRAPHIC PRESENCE
Last but definitely not the least, it’s important to consider partner geographic presence. If your
business is in Germany, does it really make sense to work with a partner who is only located in
the Singapore, even if they outstrip all the other considerations? Not really. If you are planning
for a global implementation, working with a partner who also has global presence can easily
provide team members to your different locations which will be a huge benefit and can really
help push-start your implementation and use of salesforce.
PARTNERING FOR SUCCESS
These five points are very important to consider while looking for a Salesforce implementation
partner as Salesforce itself uses them to guide its partner program. Indeed, these are important
five of a number of other key requirements that partners must validate in order to achieve
Salesforce’s partner designation. I’m proud to share that Bodhtree is one among the Cloud
Alliance Partners worldwide.
