What happens to support after Salesforce is implemented?
In many business environments, managing Customer Relationship Management with ongoing business goals is a daily challenge.
Some businesses want to keep an eagle’s eye view on everything; looking forward to the next leads and opportunities, planning and projecting forward, and keeping an eye to strategy at all times. While others keep a worm’s eye view. With a ‘business as usual’ approach, managers can only hope staff will react to issues if (and only if!) they arise.
And some businesses do both.
In high-functioning workplaces with savvy, trained staff, juggling both is more common than you think. While balancing a forward-thinking approach with day-to-day needs, many businesses can get distracted from their larger goals.
This is where the Salesforce Productivity Plus Service comes in.
We developed a service to provide a new, proactive service in addition to all our usual ongoing support. We can review and improve your existing processes, and plan and report to help you better understand how Salesforce works in your organisation. We want to help take the lead in your business CRM to identify and resolve issues before they arise.

Why is managed Salesforce support good for business?
We blogged previously about how a good partner not only helps you navigate the vast systems, training modules and capability of Salesforce, but also looks at the ‘why’ of your business. Thinking strategically – from a technology point of view – helps refine and hone not only your in-house staff skills, but also keeps your overall goals on track. It’s an attitude that goes well beyond ‘business as usual’.
How could managed support help you get more out of your CRM?
- Fast, expert service resulting in higher productivity.
- Relieve staff pressure on internal resources and increase the focus on core business.
- Make more informed decisions about regular Salesforce product upgrades and new features.
- Better tracking and reporting of your sales team’s activities.
- Predictable pricing, allowing you to accurately track ROI.
- More efficient processes across your entire company, resulting in less frustration, drudgery, and wasted time.
