- Salesforce for B2C allows managing both business and consumer customers within the same platform by introducing "Person Accounts". - Person Accounts replicate contact fields at the account level to represent individuals as accounts with a 1-to-1 relationship between accounts and contacts constrained into a 1-to-1 relationship. - Activating Person Accounts modifies the standard data model by adding a record type field to distinguish between business and person accounts while maintaining backward compatibility.

Editor's Notes
- Person Account is Salesforce out-of-the-box approach to B2C applications. This presentation goes through the usual misunderstandings and helps you getting started on the right foot with PA.
- Key Takeaway: We are a publicly traded company. Please make your buying decisions only on the products commercially available from Salesforce. Talk Track: Before I begin, just a quick note that when considering future developments, whether by us or with any other solution provider, you should always base your purchasing decisions on what is currently available.
- Most standard Account fields except: ParentId (not available on RT = PA) Most standard Contact fields except ReportsTo Phone Fax Description System fields All Contact custom fields API name suffix = "__pc" (instead of "__c)
