Want to win in business? You need a smart way to sell your products and services. If you don’t have a good plan, other companies will beat you to customers. Businesses need a tool that can help them:

• Track sales easily
• Work more efficiently
• Make more money

Salesforce Sales Cloud is that tool. It helps businesses do all these things with cool features that make selling smoother. Let’s explore five reasons why:

1. AI-Powered Lead Scoring: A Predictive Advantage

One of the big wins with Sales Cloud comes in the form of artificial intelligence-led scoring of leads. Drawing strength from high-functioning machine learning algorithms, Salesforce AI—alongside innovations like Salesforce Agentforce—easily helps ascertain what will generate a customer out of which lead. Agentforce enhances this by providing real-time insights and AI-driven recommendations, ensuring sales professionals can prioritize cases that are most likely to translate into hard business.

A McKinsey report found that 41% of companies saw at least 5% more revenue after using AI in sales. As AI automates the process of lead qualification, sales representatives can devote more time to engaging with potential customers and closing deals.

2. Customizable Dashboards: Data-Driven Decision Making

Data is the lifeblood of any successful business. However, raw data is of little value unless it’s transformed into actionable insights. Sales Cloud provides customizable dashboards that allow users to visualize key performance indicators (KPIs) and gain a comprehensive understanding of their sales pipeline.

With real-time analytics at their fingertips, sales managers can track performance metrics, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions that drive growth. By empowering teams with the right information, businesses can optimize their sales strategies and achieve their revenue goals.

3. Mobile-First CRM Experience: Sell Anywhere, Anytime

Today’s world is mobile-first. Sales representatives have to be able to work from anywhere at any time. The Salesforce® mobile app provides a seamless on-the-go experience. It enables sales teams to access critical customer information, update records, and close deals from their smartphones or tablets.

Equipping sales representatives with the means for connectivity with customers will help the business be more responsive and thus enhance customer satisfaction, which will eventually drive sales.

4. Seamless Integration Ecosystem

Salesforce Sales Cloud natively integrates with a host of marketing, customer service, and other business applications. This interconnected approach removes data silos and allows teams to collaborate. By breaking down the barriers between departments, businesses can improve efficiency, reduce errors, and accelerate the sales cycle. 

And don’t forget,  if you have non-Salesforce apps/technology, integrations can be easily tackled with connectors like MuleSoft.

5. Advanced Workflow Automation: Smoothening Sales Processes

Repetitive, time-consuming tasks take away productive time from sales. Advanced workflow automation in Salesforce can help automate such mundane processes, including assigning leads, updating opportunities, and creating tasks. By automating these processes, the sales team will be free to develop relationships, close deals, and bring in revenue.

The Bottom Line: A Competitive Advantage

Salesforce Sales Cloud is much more than a CRM tool; it’s a competitive advantage in driving businesses of all sizes toward realizing their sales goals. Companies can transform their sales processes, boost productivity, and surpass their competitors by leveraging the power of AI, data analytics, mobile technology, and automation.

In addition, investment in continuous training and optimization will help in the realization of full benefits from Salesforce Sales Cloud. By keeping themselves abreast of recent features and best practices, companies will be able to exploit the potential of this powerful platform to the fullest.

The post Navigating the Salesforce Ecosystem: Which Cloud Is Right for Your Business? appeared first on Ad Victoriam Solutions.

Depending on your instance of Salesforce®, the remaining main release weekends for the Winter ’25 Release are October 5 and October 12, 2024.

To help get you ready for the release – on a recent Ad Victoriam Salesforce Simplified podcast – we spoke with  Salesforce Ben‘s Technical Content Director and 11X Salesforce-Certified Evangelist Christine Marshall about some of her favorite new features in the Salesforce Winter ’25 Release. Here are the seven she selected for AdVic®.

1. Optimize Your Strategic Planning with Account Plans

Salesforce Notes: Nurture existing relationships and grow key accounts strategically with Account Plans. You can research and analyze accounts, set objectives with actionable metrics, and keep tabs on growth and development, all from one repository within Salesforce.

Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited editions and Einstein 1 Sales Edition.

When: This feature will be available in production on a rolling basis after the Winter ’25 release is complete and available to all customers by October 29, 2024. The feature is only accessible in sandboxes after it’s available in production. To see the feature in sandboxes, run the Match Production Licenses tool or request a refresh after the feature is available in production.

Why: To maximize revenue potential and invest in your customers’ goals and challenges, track all your strategic planning with Account Plans.

How: Go to the new Account Plans page in Setup and turn on Account Plans. Then, configure the Account Plans object in the Object Manager, add the Account Plans related list to the Account object, and optionally set up Relationship Maps.

2. Configure Record Highlights in Lightning App Builder

Salesforce Notes: Use the new Dynamic Highlights Panel to configure your most important fields right in the Lightning App Builder. Previously, you could only configure fields in the Highlights Panel by using compact layouts in Setup. The Dynamic Highlights Panel can contain up to 12 fields. 

Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience in Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.

The Dynamic Highlights Panel is responsive. When you change the size of your browser window, your information stays visible and wraps instead of being truncated. You can also use visibility rules to show and hide fields in the panel.

The Dynamic Highlights Panel is a container for fields just like a Field Section. You can find it on the Fields tab in the Lightning App Builder.

You can also customize the actions that appear in the panel. The Dynamic Highlights Panel uses dynamic actions by default and is supported for all LWC-enabled objects. For a list of LWC-enabled objects, see LWC Migration for Record Home Pages.

Your users can see the Dynamic Highlights Panel immediately on desktop, but for it to appear on mobile record pages, you must enable it from Setup | Salesforce Mobile App | Dynamic Forms and Dynamic Highlights Panel on Mobile.

3. Make Record Fields Stand Out with Conditional Formatting

Salesforce Notes: Apply formatting to fields to help users quickly identify the most relevant information on a record page. In Lightning App Builder, give fields on Dynamic Forms-enabled pages custom icons and colors that can appear, disappear, and change color based on the criteria and rules that you define. The conditions can be based on the field’s value or the values of other fields on the page. You can view, edit, and delete rulesets for an object with the new Conditional Field Formatting node in Object Manager. 

Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience in Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions

When: This functionality is available on a rolling basis starting with pre-release and sandbox orgs in early September 2024.

How: Conditional formatting uses rulesets, which are collections of rules. Each rule is made up of conditions that determine how and when formatting appears on a field. To apply conditional formatting to a field, open a Dynamic Forms-enabled record page in the Lightning App Builder and click the field on the canvas. In the field’s property panel, use the Conditional Formatting property to assign an existing ruleset or to create one.

4. Add Calculated Fields to Your Lightning Reports with Einstein Generative AI

Salesforce Notes: Customizing reports to meet your business needs is easier when Einstein Report Formula Generation assists with the technical work of creating row-level and summary formulas. Describe a calculation in simple terms, and Einstein discovers the relevant data and suggests a formula. Previously, constructing formulas for calculated fields required expertise in data models, objects and fields, available functions, and the various limitations of data types and formula types.

Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions with Einstein 1 Sales Edition or Einstein 1 Service Edition and the DC Report GPT add-on. Einstein generative AI is available in Lightning Experience.

How: From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Einstein Setup, and then select it. Enable Turn on Einstein.

When editing a report, select Create Formula in the Fields panel, or select Add Summary Formula or Add Row-Level Formula in the Columns menu.

In the formula builder, on the Einstein tab (1), describe the calculation that you want (2). You can ask questions such as, “How many days did it take each opportunity to close?” or “After deducting taxes and expenses, what are our net earnings?” If the Einstein formula looks good, click Insert Formula (3) and Einstein fills in all the fields for you (4).

Feedback can help us improve, and it’s greatly appreciated. Access the thumbs up and thumbs down icons by hovering on Einstein’s response.

5. Make Inline Edits with the Enhanced User List View

Salesforce Notes: You can now view, sort, and filter user records in a list format and directly modify new entries inline. Quickly update and modify records and simplify this experience without navigating away from the list view. 

Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience in all editions.

How: From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Users, and then select User Management Settings. Enable Enhanced User List View. Select Users to view the enhanced page.

6. Get Insight into How a User’s Permissions Are Granted

Salesforce Notes: To simplify user management, you now have visibility into the profile, permission sets, and permission set groups that grant permissions to a specific user. This information about a user’s assigned object, field, user, and custom permissions is available in the User Access Summary. Previously, troubleshooting where a user’s permissions came from required multiple queries or steps. Now you can get this information with a few clicks.

Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience in all editions.

How: From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Users, and then select Users. Select a user, and then click View Summary. To see how an individual permission was granted, click the row-level action, and then click Access Granted By.

7. See How Object Access Is Granted in Object Manager

Salesforce Notes: Get a comprehensive view of the permission sets, permission set groups, and profiles that grant access to an object, and the level of access granted. Use the read-only Object Access Summary in Object Manager to quickly check object permissions when troubleshooting, completing reviews, or determining how to grant user access.

Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience in all editions.

How: In Setup, go to Object Manager, and then select an object. In the sidebar, click Object Access.

As a manufacturer, navigating the complex world of customer relationship management (CRM) solutions can be tricky. Two prominent options within the Salesforce® ecosystem are Sales Cloud and Manufacturing Cloud. While both offer valuable tools, they cater to distinct aspects of your business. Let’s delve into their differences to help you pick the right fit.

Understanding the Core Functions

• Sales Cloud: This is the foundation of Salesforce, focusing on managing the sales pipeline. It excels at lead generation, opportunity tracking, contact management, and sales forecasting. Sales Cloud streamlines your sales process, improves lead nurturing, and fosters better communication with potential and existing customers.
• Manufacturing Cloud: Built on top of the Sales Cloud platform, Manufacturing Cloud extends its capabilities with industry-specific features. It integrates seamlessly with existing sales functionalities while adding functionalities crucial for manufacturers. These include:
  • Sales Agreement Management: Streamline complex contracts with customers, ensuring clear pricing, volume, and order fulfillment details.
  • Advanced Forecasting: Gain deeper insights into production capabilities and customer demand. This allows for data-driven decisions on resource allocation and inventory management.
  • Operational Visibility: Track production schedules, materials management, and quality control processes. Identify bottlenecks and optimize production efficiency.

Side-By-Side Comparison

Choosing the Right Cloud Solution

The decision depends on your current needs and future goals. Here’s a breakdown to guide your selection:

• Choose Sales Cloud if:
  • You’re a manufacturer with a simple sales process.
  • You primarily focus on managing sales teams and opportunities.
  • You don’t have a complex production environment, and basic forecasting suffices.
• Choose Manufacturing Cloud if:
  • You require advanced features for managing sales agreements, production planning, and operational visibility.
  • You want a CRM that integrates seamlessly with your existing ERP system.
  • You aim to optimize production efficiency and improve data-driven decision-making for sales and manufacturing.

A crucial point to consider: Manufacturing Cloud builds upon Sales Cloud. This means you get all the functionalities of Sales Cloud (lead management, opportunity tracking, etc.) plus the additional manufacturing-specific features.

The Power of Combining Forces

Manufacturers with established sales teams likely have Sales Cloud in place. In such cases, transitioning to Manufacturing Cloud provides a significant advantage. You can leverage your existing sales data while gaining the power to optimize production and improve overall business efficiency.

Here’s how the two clouds work together:

• Sales teams utilize Sales Cloud to nurture leads, close deals, and manage customer relationships.
• Manufacturing Cloud takes over once a sale is confirmed. It integrates with the agreed-upon pricing, volumes, and fulfillment details from Sales Cloud. This ensures production aligns with sales commitments.
• Manufacturing Cloud provides real-time production data that feeds back into Sales Cloud. This allows sales teams to provide accurate lead times and adjust forecasts based on actual production capabilities.

This seamless integration creates a unified information hub, fostering better collaboration between sales and manufacturing teams. Ultimately, this translates to improved customer satisfaction, reduced production bottlenecks, and increased profitability.

Summary

Salesforce offers a powerful CRM ecosystem for manufacturers. When deciding between Sales Cloud and Manufacturing Cloud, consider your specific needs. Sales Cloud excels at managing the sales pipeline, while Manufacturing Cloud adds an industry-specific layer for optimizing production and integrating with existing systems.

For a manufacturer seeking a comprehensive solution to streamline sales, improve production efficiency, and gain real-time data insights, Manufacturing Cloud emerges as the clear winner. However, if your sales process is straightforward and production management is less complex, Sales Cloud might be sufficient for now. Remember, you can always migrate to Manufacturing Cloud later as your business needs evolve.

Service Cloud + Data Migration Accelerator

Eliminating technology limitations accelerates progress – especially when  it relates to servicing customers, everyone’s number one priority. For some start-ups, Zendesk may be an initial option due to it being a quick fix, low-cost  help desk ticketing system approach. But as the need for smarter, faster and more personalized service delivery grows, organizations commonly  migrate from a “help desk” approach to a full-service relationship management system like Salesforce Service Cloud. Ad Victoriam’s Service Cloud + Data Migration Accelerator will migrate your business from Zendesk to Service Cloud to improve customer service delivery and propel satisfaction within weeks. 

Experience Cloud Accelerator

Salesforce Experience Cloud (formerly Community Cloud) is an all- encompassing software system with an integrated set of technologies, digital marketing products, services and solutions that help companies digitize business operations, engage customers, and provide effective connection and collaboration with their partners.

You’ve heard it before…. having an all-inclusive sales platform helps sales representatives close deals more quickly upfront rather than waiting weeks, months or even years. 

Well, that’s easy enough to say, but why not hear it right from a daily Salesforce user? HexArmor‘s Director of Sales, Geno Lechuga, recently spoke on the AdVic “Salesforce Simplified” podcast about how his team benefits from being able to see every interaction prospects and customers have with his business—regardless of department—using the CRM platform that connects his whole company. Here’s some highlights from that conversation.

Sales Team Adoption of Salesforce

Change can be difficult for any person, but for HexArmour’s Lechuga, trust and respect make the process much easier. 

“If you come to our company as a new employee in our sales department, it’s likely that you have not used Salesforce the way we do. But the way we use Salesforce is a part of the reason why we’re so successful. If you come to our company, we promote the way we do things through trust and respect, [which] are the pillars of any particular team; [and] they’re earned. They’re not granted to anyone, nor should they be. But once the trust and respect is there, now the sales team can see the company vision, and then they can buy into the way we do things, i.e., Salesforce. And all that comes a little easier with that trust and respect.”

Salesforce Improves Lead Generation

Leads are costly for any company, and that’s no different for HexArmor. 

“We want to see the ROI for our leads,” Lechuga explained. Whether they’re marketing-generated leads, trade show leads, or even leads generated by a rep. With Salesforce, we’re able to track the ROI and determine really if the leads make sense from a company aspect. So in other words, if we track specific leads to a specific trade show and the ROI is favorable in our favor, then looking at our budgets for the following year will be helpful knowing that we need to invest in that trade show again. And again, all of these results are tracked right there in Salesforce. So, with these types of results being tracked, companies can really decide what type of lead generation they want to invest in. So, the overall efficiency and knowing where to put your dollars, it all comes from the data that’s generated through Salesforce.”

Analyze and Share Customer Data 

Commenting on how his team analyzes and shares customer data internally via Salesforce, Lechuga said, “The nice part about Salesforce is it’s all right there on the same platform. If I run a specific report for a specific region, I can easily do that right inside Salesforce and allow that region to see that report as well. So, we utilize this data daily and it helps our teams drive more business. And as a company, we’re big on data and we make big company decisions based on the data.”

Salesforce Helps with Retention, Too

It’s no secret that customer retention is directly proportional to increased revenue and business growth. Customer acquisition becomes futile if you cannot keep the customers coming back. Here’s how Lechuga says Salesforce helps HexArmor with retention:

“Retention really is an area that I can say I am very proud of the job we’ve done here at HexArmor. Now, partly it’s because we offer certain technologies that are proprietary to our company that our customers need and we know what they need, but a lot of it is the type of data that we’ve tracked inside Salesforce that really helps us to stay in front of these customers and communicate what’s important to them and what they need. So all the way from setting future tasks or reach outs, organizing a detailed sit down meeting, all this information is right there in Salesforce.”

There is much more to our conversation with HexArmor’s Geno Lechuga, including discussion of how the Salesforce mobile app helps his team better serve their customers. Listen here, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

With a Salesforce® solution your sales team will drive more revenue because of the power of built-in automation and analytics. Additionally, you’ll maximize the time reps spend selling with productivity and collaboration tools that work anywhere, on any device.  It is flexible, scalable and integrates with all other Salesforce Clouds. Why not let the AdVic team show you how Salesforce automation tools can improve sales by increasing leads, reducing costs, accelerating productivity and closing deals faster? We’re just a click away!

Not familiar with Salesforce Rebate Management? It was designed for organizations with complex sales channels and incentive programs. Rebate programs drive profitability and optimize channel sales – that is, when they work the way they are meant to work. 

And in the manufacturing industry, Rebate Management empowers companies to reduce manual processes, drive top-line growth and scale incentive programs. They can gain an accurate view of business performance, demand forecasts and channel sales, in addition to securely sharing incentive information with channel partners to build trust.

However, programs only succeed if organizations provide the intelligent visibility to sales teams and channel partners that enables them to upsell, identify cross-sell opportunities, and drive the right behaviors. And to that end, here’s a Salesforce Rebate Management success story.

AdVic’s Challenge

RAB Lighting – a company that manufactures and distributes affordable, energy efficient LED lighting and controls to retailers to sell, electricians to install, and end-users to save energy – was utilizing various spreadsheets and emails to manage and calculate rebates. However, spreadsheets created data collection challenges, which impacted their ability to facilitate their program efficiently. They wanted an automated Rebate Management Program to handle each of their various rebate offerings. To ensure that the Salesforce® Rebate Management platform could meet their needs, they contacted AdVic® and we immediately began with a deep-dive discovery to bring a company-wide solution to RAB. 

What AdVic Did

To ensure that RAB would have the efficient Rebate Management Program they desired, AdVic’s consultants designed this solution: 

• Implemented Rebate Management eliminating manual calculations, spreadsheet maintenance, incomplete data, and rebate management inefficiencies while fostering cross-departmental data visibility.
• Integrated Rebate Management with Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (formerly Pardot) and enabled data exposure for the national sales team. 
• Cleaned, formatted and migrated two years of historical invoice data into two tailored rebate use cases: Base Payouts and Growth Payouts. 
• Developed a scalable data processing engine, which runs through flows and calculates rebates based on each use case requirements. 

“AdVic® felt like an extension of the RAB team, as they quickly got up-to-speed with requirements and integrated them with the Rebate Management tool. I appreciated the efficient use of meetings to move the project forward and ensure alignment without wasting time. Happy to partner with them for future projects.” – Dave Ramo, Director of Business Analysis, RAB Lighting

---

As part of the Salesforce Rebate Management pilot team, AdVic was building and testing business use cases, providing feedback on the functionality, and also implementing the program as a launching pad to implement Rebate Management for all of RAB’s rebate programs. Salesforce relied on our feedback during the pilot, which gives us the ground-floor knowledge and more expertise to create effective Rebate solutions. And now, Salesforce highlights AdVic as a top trusted Rebate Management Partner, so why shouldn’t you, too? 

Let’s start the conversation about your Rebate Management Program today!
