A successful Salesforce implementation requires “advanced preparation” and careful planning to fully “transform your business” and enhance customer relationships.

Key steps include identifying stakeholders, setting “specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-based” goals, developing a realistic budget, and choosing a certified implementation partner to manage the complexity.

Equally important is committing to thorough training and a “well-planned change management strategy” to ensure smooth adoption.
