YOU BOUGHT SALESFORCE, NOW GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH

STRUGGLING TO REALIZE THE VALUE FROM SALESFORCE?

It's not uncommon to hear from Business Leaders the following after going live with Salesforce:

"Adoption is low"
"Users are putting data in but they are yet to see value out"
"Changes take too long to implement"
"We wonder if we are fully utilizing all the platform's capabilities"
"We underestimated the cost and effort to build and run Salesforce"

Sounds familiar?

These (and other frustrations) usually have more than one root cause:

• Lack of executive alignment to move forward with a shared vision

• Lack of a roadmap prioritized based on what will bring the most value to users

• Broken governance to build the right things first, the right way

• Not enough Salesforce experienced resources to execute

• Insufficient change management or training for users to adopt the ways of working

• Lack of a data management strategy and governance

• Improvised architecture results in piling up technical debt and less agility

• Green development and release methods that take too long to deliver changes

• Limited understanding of products and license types to maximize underutilization

• Inconsistent ways of measuring value to know how the organization is benefiting

• Unfamiliarity with Salesforce's sales strategies may lead to overbuying licenses

If you are experiencing any of these common challenges, you are not alone! 😩

Salesforce is a very powerful platform but it definitely takes a little more than "clicks, no code" to get substantial value and high ROI.

"91% of companies with the highest levels of ROI from Salesforce have a Center of Excellence (COE)"

COE = ⬆ ROI

I'm Alejandra Teran!

After almost two decades of hands-on experience working with Salesforce, as a client and partner, and building Global Salesforce COEs for Deloitte, Freddie Mac, and Teleperformance, experience tells me that if done right, a COE is the fastest way to help transform your organization and get your money's worth from Salesforce.

There's a ton of information in the ecosystem about the hundreds of things that you should do to build and run your Salesforce platform and maximize the value. It may feel like an overwhelming mission that will take you months to do, if not years. I've been in your shoes!

This is the reason why I developed "The COE Blueprint" and "The COE Bootcamp" programs; the playbooks designed to help you get 10X more value from your Salesforce investment.
