Salesforce CRT-251 Salesforce Certified Sales Cloud Consultant (SU24) Exam Practice Test

In Salesforce, when the organization-wide default (OWD) setting for Account is Private, access to child account records does not automatically inherit from parent account access. Therefore, if a sales rep has access to a parent account, they do not automatically get access to the child accounts. Access to child account records needs to be shared manually through sharing rules, role hierarchy, or manually sharing the records.

Account Hierarchies and Sharing

These are three steps for successful change and seasonal release management. Change and release management is the process of planning, testing, deploying, and communicating changes and updates to a system or process, such as Salesforce. Some steps for effective change and release management are:

Communicate updates to end user: This step involves informing the end users about the changes and updates that are coming, why they are important, how they will affect their work, and when they will be available. This can help increase user awareness, adoption, and feedback.

Create an org development model: This step involves defining the roles, responsibilities, tools, and environments for developing, testing, and deploying changes and updates. This can help ensure quality, consistency, and security of the system or process.

Collect input from stakeholders: This step involves gathering feedback and suggestions from the stakeholders who are affected by or involved in the changes and updates, such as users, managers, customers, or partners. This can help identify needs, requirements, issues, or risks of the system or process.

To meet the requirement of granting Read/Write access to child Opportunities for Account Team members with the Executive Sponsor role, an Opportunity sharing rule should be created. Sharing rules in Salesforce allow you to automatically extend access to users based on their roles or other criteria. In this case, the sharing rule would be configured to provide Read/Write access to Opportunities for those in the Executive Sponsor role on the Account Team.

Create and Edit Sharing Rules

To assure UC's management that Sales Cloud is being successfully adopted on mobile devices, the consultant should report on the opportunity records created on a mobile device. This metric directly demonstrates that sales reps are actively using mobile devices to perform their core activities, such as creating and managing opportunities. By providing tangible evidence of mobile usage, the consultant can validate the adoption and effectiveness of the mobile solution. Salesforce provides various reporting tools to track and analyze mobile device usage and user activity.

A knowledge transfer is essential to ensure that the Cloud Kicks admin is fully equipped to manage the Sales Cloud implementation post-go-live. This process involves detailed discussions, documentation, and training sessions to cover any gaps in understanding and to ensure the admin can handle day-to-day operations and troubleshoot issues. It also fosters independence and confidence in managing the system.

Salesforce Training and Adoption

These are the actions that can meet the requirement of restricting access to opportunities based on ownership and account association. Setting opportunity access on the role allows users to see opportunities owned by users below them in the role hierarchy, as well as opportunities associated with accounts they can access. Setting organization-wide defaults for opportunities to Private means that users can only access opportunities they own, unless they are granted access by other means, such as sharing rules or manual sharing. 

To display the total amount of all the open opportunities related to the account on the Account page layout while using Advanced Currency Management, the consultant should use a record-triggered flow to set the value on the account. Advanced Currency Management complicates the use of standard roll-up summary fields due to multiple currency rates. A record-triggered flow can be configured to calculate the total amount of open opportunities and update a custom field on the Account record accordingly, ensuring the displayed amount is accurate and up-to-date.

Using custom price books for domestic and international customers is the best way to improve usability for account executives who find the standard price book difficult to use because of different currencies and country-specific product variations. A price book is a list of products and their prices that account executives can use when creating opportunities. A custom price book is a price book that can be created and customized by users based on their needs and preferences. By using custom price books for domestic and international customers, account executives can easily select the appropriate price book for each opportunity based on the customer’s location, currency, and product requirements.

When enabling the Set Up Contacts to Multiple Accounts feature, it is essential to designate a default account as the Contact's primary account. This ensures that the primary relationship is clear, while still allowing the Contact to be associated with multiple accounts. Salesforce supports this feature natively, which eliminates the need for creating a custom junction object. By designating a primary account, you ensure data consistency and clarity in reporting and account management.

Enabling the Person Accounts feature is irreversible is something that the consultant should consider when evaluating Person Accounts. Person Accounts are a type of account that represent individual consumers rather than business accounts. Enabling Person Accounts is a permanent action that cannot be undone or deactivated once it is done. Therefore, the consultant should carefully evaluate the pros and cons of using Person Accounts and make sure that Cloud Kicks understands the implications and limitations of this feature before enabling it.

Contact roles on the Opportunity object allow sales executives to identify the contacts who are involved in the sales process and their roles, such as decision maker or influencer4. This helps sales executives prioritize their interactions with existing contacts and track their influence on the opportunity.

Configuring a new Forecast Type on Opportunity Product grouped by Product Family can improve CK’s forecasts by dividing them by footwear line. A Forecast Type is a set of settings that define how forecasts are calculated and displayed for a specific business scenario, such as product line, territory, or revenue type. A Forecast Type can use either standard or custom opportunity fields to group and filter forecast data, such as Type, Product Family, or Territory. By grouping forecast data by Product Family, CK can see how much revenue they expect to close for each footwear line, such as Formal or Athletic.

After completing the Build and Validate phases of a Sales Cloud implementation, the next step is to deliver training to the end users and administrators of the system. Training is essential to ensure that the users understand how to use the system effectively and efficiently, and that they adopt the system as part of their daily work. Training can be delivered in various formats, such as online courses, webinars, videos, manuals, or hands-on sessions.

Creating a User report and filtering by login Subtype is the most efficient way to analyze how users are logging into Salesforce, whether through a mobile device or a browser. The login subtype provides specific information about the method of access, making it easier to assess user behavior and preferences accurately. This approach allows consultants to generate insights without manually reviewing individual login histories.

Login History

Creating Reports on User Logins

Moving the invoice related list to a separate tab on the Lightning page can solve the issue of long rendering time, as it allows the account record to load faster without loading the invoice related list at the same time. The user can then click on the tab to view the invoice related list when needed. This also improves the user experience and the page layout by reducing clutter and scrolling.

To assign territories in bulk to Opportunities, the consultant should run the filter-based Opportunity territory assignment. This feature allows users to apply territory assignments to a large number of opportunities based on specified criteria or filters. This method is efficient for bulk assignments and ensures that opportunities are accurately aligned with the appropriate territories based on predefined rules and conditions.

To measure the sales team's performance based on a fiscal year that starts in February and ends in January, the consultant should recommend updating the Company settings. In Salesforce, the fiscal year settings can be customized in the Company Information section of Setup. This allows the organization to define a custom fiscal year that aligns with their financial reporting requirements. By setting the correct fiscal year, Salesforce will automatically adjust all reports and forecasts to align with the company's financial calendar.

A cross filter is a feature that allows users to filter a report by related objects and their fields, such as accounts with or without opportunities. A cross filter can be added to any report type that supports cross filters, such as accounts, contacts, leads, or opportunities. By using a cross filter, Universal Containers can build a report that shows accounts with opportunities that are missing contacts, such as accounts with opportunities without contacts.

When addressing performance measurement needs, it is crucial for a consultant to collaborate closely with the customer to understand their specific requirements. Each organization has unique goals, challenges, and metrics that are important to them. By working closely with the customer, the consultant can tailor the performance measurement criteria and system architecture to meet their specific needs, ensuring the implementation is aligned with the customer's business objectives.

The Salesforce Adoption Dashboards provide visibility into how users are adopting and interacting with Salesforce. The region chart shows the number of logins, page views, and other metrics by region. This can help the consultant determine if all regions are using Salesforce effectively. 

This solution will meet the requirement by allowing the CEO to run reports from the sales team’s reports folder, the CEO’s assistant to control access to the reports, and the sales managers to change the reports when necessary. The View access level will allow the CEO to view and run reports in the folder, but not edit or delete them. The Manage access level will allow the CEO’s assistant to view, run, edit, delete, and share reports in the folder, as well as add or remove users from the folder. The Edit access level will allow the sales managers to view, run, and edit reports in the folder, but not delete or share them3

During the planning stage, it is crucial to define clear goals, metrics, project schedule, and sales processes. This ensures that all stakeholders have a shared understanding of the project objectives, timelines, and success criteria. Defining these elements provides a structured framework for the implementation and helps in tracking progress and addressing issues proactively.

Project Planning and Management

The data update will cause sharing recalculations and should be completed during off-peak hours and the team can defer sharing calculations to decrease the risk of lock errors during the data update are two factors that should be considered when updating the sales territories and Account owners for 400,000 accounts with Private organization-wide defaults. Sharing recalculations are processes that update record access based on changes to sharing settings or ownership. Off-peak hours are times when there is less user activity or system load on Salesforce. Deferring sharing calculations is an option that allows users to postpone or schedule sharing recalculations for later times instead of running them immediately. Lock errors are errors that occur when two or more processes try to access or modify the same record at the same time.

By considering these two factors, Universal Containers can ensure that the data update is performed efficiently and effectively without affecting user experience or data integrity. By completing the data update during off-peak hours, Universal Containers can avoid impacting user performance or availability during peak hours when there is more user activity or system load on Salesforce. By deferring sharing calculations, Universal Containers can reduce the risk of lock errors during the data update by running them at a later time when there is less concurrent access or modification of records.

Arranging multiple sessions with small groups of employees is an efficient approach to conduct discovery meetings, as it allows the consultant to interact with different types of users and gather more detailed and specific feedback from them. Sending a survey to all employees asking for a list of desired changes is another efficient approach, as it enables the consultant to collect quantitative and qualitative data from a large number of users in a short time. Asking management to select which employees should participate in sessions is also an efficient approach, as it ensures that the consultant meets with the key stakeholders and representatives of each business unit or function.

Revenue Schedules allow you to recognize revenue from a product over a period of time, rather than at the time of sale. You can create revenue schedules for products that are paid in instalments, and specify the amount and date of each instalment. This can help the finance department forecast the revenue more accurately and easily. Verified References:

This is the recommended solution for Cloud Kicks if they want to search and cross-reference records with the original source database after migrating 70 million records from a legacy database to the data warehouse that will be synced with Salesforce. Using a custom External ID field and mapping it to the source record ID value will allow Cloud Kicks to uniquely identify each record and match it with its corresponding record in the source database. A custom External ID field is a custom field that has the External ID attribute enabled, which means that it can be used as a unique identifier for data import or integration purposes.

Inbox is a suite of email productivity tools that integrates Salesforce with Outlook or Gmail. With Inbox, sales reps can sync their calender events between Salesforce and their email application, and log emails with related records in Salesforce without leaving their inbox. This way, they can easily track their customer interactions and report on them in Salesforce.

Implementing a lead scoring strategy is the most effective way to help sales reps focus on leads most likely to result in a sale. Lead scoring involves assigning values to leads based on criteria such as demographic information, behavior, and engagement levels. This helps sales teams prioritize their efforts on high-quality leads, improving conversion rates and sales efficiency. According to Salesforce documentation, lead scoring can significantly enhance sales productivity by ensuring that the most promising leads are followed up on promptly.

Schedules on the Product object allow users to track the revenue and quantity of products over time, such as for subscription or installment payments. Schedules can be enabled for any product that has a schedule type of Revenue or Quantity, and they can be customized to match the payment terms of each opportunity.

EAC a two-way sync for events and contacts means that EAC can synchronize events and contacts between Salesforce and the connected email and calendar applications, such as Gmail or Outlook. This minimizes the need for sales reps to manually create meetings and events that are stored on their calendars, as they will be automatically captured and displayed in Salesforce.

EAC supports emails, events, and contacts means that EAC can capture these types of activities from the connected email and calendar applications and display them in Salesforce. This allows sales reps to view and track their interactions with customers without having to manually log them in Salesforce.

Running the updated assignment rules in Planning State and viewing the accounts on the territory detail page is the best way to show sales operations what the data will look like after changing the territories. Assignment rules are rules that determine how accounts are assigned to territories based on criteria such as account fields, address fields, etc. Planning State is a mode of Territory Management that allows users to preview how changes to territories or assignment rules will affect account assignments before activating them. The territory detail page is a page that shows information about a specific territory, such as name, description, users, accounts, etc.

By running the updated assignment rules in Planning State, sales operations can see how accounts will be reassigned to new territories based on the ZIP codes. By viewing the accounts on the territory detail page, sales operations can verify the accuracy of the account assignments and make any adjustments if needed.

Enhanced Folder Sharing is a feature that allows users to share reports and dashboards with other users, groups, roles, or territories based on different access levels, such as view, edit, or manage. This can help sales reps find the reports and dashboards that are relevant to them by organizing them into folders and granting access to the appropriate users. Enhanced Folder Sharing also supports inheritance, which means that users who have access to a folder also have access to its subfolders.

The Object Manager tab in Setup allows the consultant to view and edit the metadata of standard and custom objects, such as fields, relationships, page layouts, and record types. Schema Builder provides a dynamic, graphical view of the object relationships in Salesforce, and allows the consultant to create new custom objects, fields, and relationships.

The Scope section of a Statement of Work (SOW) is where the consultant should detail who will be responsible for training users on new features and how the training will be delivered. The Scope section outlines the specific tasks, deliverables, and responsibilities of both the consulting team and the client. Including detailed information about the training plan, including trainers, training methods, schedules, and any materials to be used, ensures that both parties have a clear understanding of the training expectations and responsibilities.

Showing a leaderboard on the regional sales dashboards highlighting account executives who have held the most prospect meetings is an action that would help support the sales teams and foster friendly competition between them. A leaderboard is a visual display that shows the ranking of individuals or groups based on a certain metric or performance indicator. A regional sales dashboard is a tool that shows data from one or more reports related to a specific region or market in a visual way, such as charts, gauges, tables, etc. A prospect meeting is an activity that represents an interaction with a potential customer who has shown interest in a product or service. By showing a leaderboard on the regional sales dashboards highlighting account executives who have held the most prospect meetings, the new employee can motivate and incentivize the sales teams to increase their prospecting efforts and activities, which can lead to more sales.

The final step in completing a Sales Cloud engagement is to obtain stakeholder sign-off. This formal sign-off ensures that all project deliverables have been met to the satisfaction of the stakeholders and that the implementation is considered complete. It is a crucial step to officially close the project and transition to ongoing support and maintenance.

Project Completion and Sign-Off

Ensuring Project Success

To ensure a smooth rollout of an updated sales process, the consultant should start by creating a comprehensive implementation plan. This plan should include driving awareness among the sales team, designing training and coaching programs, updating and documenting workflows, and measuring success. A structured approach helps ensure that the sales team understands the changes, receives proper training, and can adapt to the new process effectively. This method aligns with Salesforce best practices for managing change and ensuring user adoption.

When project teams inform about events such as attending a conference, it impacts the project timeline. The best practice in such scenarios is to update the project plan to reflect any changes due to the team's unavailability. This ensures that all stakeholders are aware of the adjustments, and the project can proceed smoothly without unexpected delays. According to Salesforce's project management best practices, keeping an updated project plan and clear communication with stakeholders is crucial for maintaining project alignment and ensuring transparency throughout the project lifecycle.

Creating a dashboard component and scheduling the dashboard to refresh monthly can help the VP of sales determine the number of closed deals on a monthly basis and compare the month-over-month results. A dashboard is a visual display of key metrics and trends for records in Salesforce. A dashboard component is a chart, table, metric, or gauge that shows data from a source report. Users can create a dashboard component that shows the number of closed deals for each month based on a report that filters opportunities by stage and close date. Users can also schedule the dashboard to refresh monthly, so that it always shows the latest data. Scheduling a reporting snapshot of the Opportunity History object to run monthly can also help the VP of sales determine the number of closed deals on a monthly basis and compare the month-over-month results. A reporting snapshot is a report that captures data at a specific point in time and stores it in a custom object. Users can create a reporting snapshot that captures data from the Opportunity History object, which tracks changes in amounts or stages for opportunities, and stores it in a custom object with fields such as Month, Year, Stage, and Count. Users can then schedule the reporting snapshot to run monthly, so that it always captures the latest data.

Creating a Global Action to convert leads via the Salesforce mobile app allows sales reps to efficiently convert leads while on the go. This approach ensures that the functionality is easily accessible from the mobile interface, streamlining the lead conversion process for sales reps who are frequently traveling.

Global Actions Overview

Setting Up Global Actions

To ensure that key fields are populated when creating leads manually, the consultant should apply the following functionalities:

A required field. This forces the user to enter a value for a field before saving a record. The administrator can make a field required at the page layout level or at the field definition level.

A validation rule. This checks that the data entered by a user meets certain standards before saving a record. The administrator can create a validation rule with a formula that evaluates whether a field meets certain criteria, such as length, format, or value.

Einstein Forecasting uses machine learning to analyze historical opportunity data and generate predictions for how much revenue a sales team can expect to close in a given period. The predictions are based only on the standard Close Date and Amount fields of the opportunities, so any custom fields or other factors are not taken into account. The predictions are only shown when the user is in the forecasting hierarchy, which means that they have a forecast role assigned to them and they can view forecasts for themselves or their subordinates.

Adoption Dashboards Pack is the best feature to measure core Sales Cloud record data and track data trends and adoption after implementing Sales Cloud for a mid market sales team. Adoption Dashboards Pack is a package that contains pre-built dashboards and reports that show how users are adopting and using Salesforce features and functionalities, such as creating and updating records, logging activities, running reports, etc. By using Adoption Dashboards Pack, Universal Containers sales management can monitor and analyze core Sales Cloud record data such as accounts, contacts, opportunities, etc., and see how they change over time and across different dimensions.

Before enabling Person Accounts, it is mandatory to create at least one Account record type in Salesforce. Person Accounts use record types to differentiate between business accounts and individual consumer accounts. This step ensures that the Salesforce org is properly configured to handle Person Accounts, which combine the characteristics of both accounts and contacts.

Enabling Person Accounts

Person Accounts Overview

Using quotation marks operator around contact’s first and last name is a recommendation that can yield better search results when searching for contacts in global search. Global search is a feature that allows users to search for records or information across multiple objects and fields in Salesforce. Quotation marks operator is an operator that can be used in global search to find an exact phrase or match in a record or field. For example, searching for “John Smith” will return only records or fields that contain John Smith as an exact phrase or match, not John Doe or Adam Smith or John Smithson. By using quotation marks operator around contact’s first and last name, Cloud Kicks users can narrow down their search results and find the contacts they are looking for more easily and quickly.

This answer will allow CK to build a report that shows Accounts with open Opportunities that are missing Contacts, by using a cross filter to filter Accounts by related objects. A cross filter can show records that have or do not have related records, such as Accounts without Contacts. Official References: [Cross Filters]

To ensure data quality when migrating prospects from a marketing application to lead records in Salesforce, it is best to migrate only qualified prospects. Qualified prospects are those that have met certain criteria indicating they have a higher likelihood of becoming customers. This approach reduces the volume of data that needs to be managed and focuses the sales team's efforts on leads with the highest potential. Salesforce's best practices for data migration emphasize the importance of migrating clean, relevant, and high-quality data to maintain system efficiency and effectiveness.

Utilizing an application from the AppExchange is the easiest and most secure way to process customer credit card payments within Salesforce. There are many applications that offer this functionality, such as Chargent, Stripe, or PayPal. These applications integrate with Salesforce and allow sales operations team to charge customers directly from their records, without having to write any code or store any sensitive data in Salesforce.

Salesforce Connect allows you to access data from external sources without copying it to Salesforce. You can create external objects that map to the data in the external system, and use them in Salesforce like any other objects. This can help you view and update customer billing information from another Salesforce org within your current org. Verified References:

This solution will meet the requirement by allowing Universal Containers to divide the revenue of the closed Opportunities between sales reps that worked on the deal and credit technical sales managers for their support. Enabling Opportunity splits will allow sales reps to share credit for an Opportunity with other team members based on their contribution or involvement in closing a deal. Revenue splits will allow sales reps to divide a percentage of an Opportunity’s amount among team members who helped generate revenue for that Opportunity. Overlay splits will allow sales reps to give credit to team members who provided assistance or support for that Opportunity without generating revenue directly.

Creating a Slack channel to gather and discuss feedback from users is a good way to improve the rate of user adoption after a Sales Cloud implementation. A Slack channel can provide a platform for users to share their opinions, suggestions, questions, and issues about the new solution. It can also help the consultant and the leadership team to monitor user sentiment, address user concerns, and provide support and guidance. Verified References:

Using a third-party tool is the best solution for migrating large volumes of data from a legacy CRM application to Salesforce. A third-party tool is a software application that connects to both systems and provides features such as data mapping, transformation, validation, deduplication, and error handling. Some examples of third-party tools are Informatica Cloud, Jitterbit Data Loader, or Talend Open Studio.

Recommending an integration with the marketing platform that creates leads in Salesforce is the best way to meet the requirement of handing off qualified prospects to the sales team. An integration is a connection between two or more systems that allows data exchange and synchronization. A lead is a record that represents a potential customer who has shown interest in a product or service. By integrating the marketing platform with Salesforce, the marketing team can automatically create leads in Salesforce when they qualify prospects based on their criteria, such as score, behavior, demographics, etc. This way, the sales team can access and follow up with the leads in Salesforce without having to manually enter them.

The Split View option in Salesforce allows users to see a list of records on the left side of the screen while viewing the details of a selected record on the right side. This functionality minimizes navigation and clicks, enabling sales reps to efficiently cycle through their current opportunities and view all the details they need. It is designed to enhance productivity by providing quick access to information.

Using Split View

Salesforce List Views and Split View

Using a validation rule on Opportunity Products can prevent a sales rep from adding Products marked as requiring the myTrailhead badge if the rep has yet to complete the badge. The validation rule can check the value of a custom field on the Product object that indicates whether the myTrailhead badge is required, and compare it with a custom field on the User object that tracks whether the sales rep has completed the badge. If the validation rule evaluates to true, it can display an error message and block the addition of the Product. Using a separate price book for the Products requiring the myTrailhead badge and only sharing the price book with sales reps who have completed the badge can also validate that sales reps have completed the myTrailhead badge. The price book can contain only the Products that require the badge, and it can be shared with sales reps who have a custom field on their User record that indicates they have completed the badge. This way, only those sales reps can access and add those Products to their Opportunities.

Before enabling Opportunity Splits, it is essential to ensure that Opportunity Teams are enabled and that the opportunity owner is a team member. Opportunity Splits rely on the Opportunity Teams feature to function correctly, as splits are allocated among team members. Ensuring that the opportunity owner is part of the team guarantees that the splits are appropriately assigned and managed. This prerequisite is critical to setting up and using Opportunity Splits effectively.

When you adjust the exchange rates in a multi-currency org, the new rates only apply to new opportunities that are created or updated after the change. The old opportunities will retain the conversion rate that was in effect when they were last modified. This can help you preserve historical data and avoid recalculating closed opportunities. Verified References:

https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.admin_currency.htm &type=5

To efficiently track the reasons why opportunities are being lost, the consultant should create a new custom field on the Opportunity object. This custom field can be used to capture standardized reasons for lost opportunities, allowing for consistent data entry and easy reporting. This approach is straightforward to implement and leverages the existing data structure, ensuring that the information is readily available for analysis and strategic decision-making. Salesforce best practices recommend using custom fields for tracking specific business metrics to enhance data visibility and accuracy.

To allow users to manually search for a territory in an active territory model and assign it to opportunities, the consultant should recommend updating the user profiles with the Manage Territory permission. This permission enables users to search for and assign territories within an active territory model to opportunities, providing the necessary access and control for managing territory assignments. Ensuring that users have the correct permissions is crucial for successful territory management and assignment.

Setting obtainable metrics, goals, and milestones for the deadline is the best way to meet the requirement of tracking accounts, contacts, and opportunities before the global conference in 4 months. Metrics are measures of performance or progress that can be quantified and tracked. Goals are desired outcomes or results that can be achieved by following a plan or strategy. Milestones are significant events or stages that mark the completion of a part of a project or a goal. By setting obtainable metrics, goals, and milestones for the deadline, the consultant can ensure that the Sales Cloud implementation is realistic, manageable, and aligned with the client’s expectations and needs.

The Opportunity’s Account will be implicitly Read for the team is something that the consultant should consider when rolling out Opportunity Teams with Private Account organization-wide defaults. An Opportunity Team is a group of users who work together on an Opportunity, such as sales reps, sales engineers, managers, etc. Each Opportunity Team member has a role and a level of access to the Opportunity and its related records, such as Products, Quotes, Activities, etc. Organization-wide defaults are the baseline level of access that users have to records they do not own or share. Private organization-wide defaults mean that only the record owner and users above them in the role hierarchy can view and edit the records. Implicit sharing is a type of sharing that grants additional access to records based on relationships between objects or users. Implicit Read means that users can view but not edit a record.

By rolling out Opportunity Teams with Private Account organization-wide defaults, the consultant should consider that the Opportunity Team members will have implicit Read access to the Opportunity’s Account, meaning that they can view but not edit the Account record related to the Opportunity they are working on.

To retain the company history of contractors who change companies often, the consultant should recommend implementing the Contacts to Multiple Accounts feature. This feature allows a contact to be related to multiple accounts without creating duplicate records. This way, CK can track the relationship between a contractor and all the companies they have worked with. The consultant can also create a custom role field on the account contact relationship object to indicate the role of the contractor at each company.

Activities logged and data quality score are two key metrics that can help measure user adoption of Sales Cloud solutions. Activities logged can indicate how often and how well users are recording their customer interactions and following up on their tasks. Data quality score can indicate how complete and accurate the data entered by users is, and how well it meets the data standards. Verified References:
