To Hire Or Not To Hire? Selecting The Best Salesforce Consulting Services

You should of course select us!

But before you do, consider that to get the maximum from your Salesforce CRM, it’s crucial to ally your business with the best Salesforce consultants: that way, you can sleep soundly knowing that they have your interests at heart and will help you take your business up the ladder. 

The proliferation of Salesforce consulting companies online has erupted recently, making it an often overwhelming task to find the right one, let alone to assess the strengths and weaknesses of each. 

You may want to consider factors such as objectivity, expertise, service, cost, attention to detail, reputation and clientele. 

Six primary facets of choosing the right Salesforce consultants:

1. Implementation Approach 

When you hire a Salesforce consultancy service, it’s crucial to look at how they plan to implement their strategy in helping grow your business. 

Agile incremental delivery is a proven method as it considers phases and iterations that ensure the delivery of projects in a timely manner – and on budget too. This approach also ensures a high level of collaboration between your team and your consultants that often leads to better results. For instance, Consleague can assist you with any and all configurations, Salesforce data, third-party integrations and customisations. 

2. Happy and Willing to Collaborate 

Consleague will actively and energetically participate in all of your business meetings and conversations, especially when you meet with potential customers. Like us, your consultant should ideally have a breadth of proven experience and success stories. It goes without saying they should also be ready to communicate with clients so that we – or your chosen consultant – can determine which solution works best for you. 

A professional consultancy company understands all Salesforce services offered are called PaaS or Platform as a Service. We know which of these services will meet your exact business needs and can suggest whether a community or Sales or Service cloud will work for you. 

3. Communication 

When you have a business meeting or want to discuss your future business goals, it would be wise to find a Salesforce consultancy that is always ready to either meet you in person and talk about the project in detail at length or communicate with you via phone, Zoom, Skype or your video conference software of choice. 

At Consleague we are equipped to develop strategies that can develop relationships with customers, as any top drawer consultancy should. We advise you to look for partners who can meet your business needs personally and help you implement and build – whether you choose us or not! 

4. Versatility 

We’d advise that your Salesforce consultancy should be a proven expert in end-to-end Salesforce implementations and integration, just like we are. 

You will want a partner who has vast experience and a high level of knowledge to gain a better understanding of your business and what it needs. Specialist expertise on how to address the challenges and demands of a business and to achieve the desired results is also, of course, a prerequisite. 

5. Salesforce Certifications 

Look out for this! Salesforce certification verifies if the company has the level of knowledge and experience to handle your implementation process. 

(Note: we do and have earned Salesforce Partner Status at Platinum (Summit) Level) 

6. Budget 

You knew we would get to this eventually! Budget is the most important facet when choosing a consultancy – never underestimate the importance of fixing and discussing your budget from the very start of the process so that you can focus on partners that are within your spend. Ask potential consultants for proposals and compare what they offer, so you can comfortably put your money into a genuine investment.
