How to Maximise the Benefits of Salesforce CRM for Your Business

Start with a clear strategy

Before diving into Salesforce CRM, it’s crucial to have a clear strategy. This means understanding your business goals and how Salesforce can help achieve them. For instance, if your goal is to improve customer service, you might focus on Salesforce’s Service Cloud features.

Here at iWeb, our expert solution architects can help you map out a strategy that aligns with your business objectives. With iWeb’s 30 years of e-commerce experience, we know how to tailor Salesforce to meet your specific needs. A well-defined strategy ensures that you make the most of Salesforce’s capabilities from the get-go.

Customise Salesforce to fit your business

Salesforce is highly customisable, which is one of its biggest strengths. You can tailor it to fit your business processes, making it a perfect fit for your unique needs. Customisation can range from simple tweaks to complex integrations.

Our talented team at iWeb can help you customise Salesforce to suit your business. Whether it’s creating custom fields, automating workflows, or integrating with other systems like Adobe Commerce, we have the expertise to make it happen. Customisation ensures that Salesforce works the way you need it to, rather than forcing you to adapt to a one-size-fits-all solution.

Train your team effectively

Our expert solution architects at iWeb can help you set up automation in Salesforce. Whether it’s automating lead assignment, setting up email campaigns, or integrating with other systems like Akeneo PIM, we have the expertise to make it happen. Automation not only improves efficiency but also ensures consistency and accuracy in your processes.
