To Hire or Not to Hire a Salesforce Professional? That is the Question

While most people think of a CRM, client relationship manager, as something for a business, more and more non-profits are turning to a CRM to improve their productivity. Non-profit executive directors have found that implementing a CRM assist them in organizing everything from fundraisers to donors.

While there are a variety of CRMs on the market, arguably one of the best CRMs out there is Salesforce. And for good reason! Salesforce has worked to create a tool for non-profits. SFDC's non-profit cloud makes it a natural choice when you're trying to decide which CRM to go with.

Salesforce starts by giving non-profits ten free licenses, which can make a massive difference for smaller orgs. However, larger non-profits may find that while Salesforce's Non-Profit Starter Pack is great, they need to tweak it to fit their needs perfectly.

When choosing to implement a CRM, like Salesforce, you may be tempted to cut corners and try to do it on your own. However, in the long run this decision could up costing you more than you may save. This is where a certified Salesforce consultant comes in. A certified consultant can implement Salesforce in a breeze, and save you the headache in the long run.

Expertise

Certified Salesforce Consultants have to prove they are educated in Salesforce continuously. Consultants have to show that they understand any new release changes to maintain their certifications. The constant training means when you are choosing a certified Salesforce consultant, like those at Harris Cloud Consulting, you are getting an expert in the field.

Impartiality

Let's face it; you're biased when it comes to making decisions. You need someone who can dispassionately evaluate current processes. That impartial tone will assist you when you need to decide what will make it into your Salesforce implementation.

Ability and time

Your teams are already working to their max. Why overburden them with trying to learn to implement a new system? You need someone familiar with implementing Salesforce within time constraints. Not to mention, someone that can dedicate significant amounts of time to the implementation. Let your staff do their jobs, while a certified Salesforce consultant takes care of the implementation of your CRM
