CRT-251 Salesforce Certified Sales Cloud Consultant (SU24) Questions and Answers

This is the step that the consultant should take to troubleshoot the issue of inaccurate sales forecasting. Stage to Forecast Category Mappings are settings that determine how each opportunity stage is mapped to a forecast category, such as Pipeline, Best Case, Commit, or Closed. These mappings affect how opportunities are rolled up and calculated in forecasts. If some opportunities appear in the incorrect forecast category, it may indicate that the mappings are not configured correctly or consistently for each stage.

Sales Cloud Implementation Best Practices

Implementing Platform Events to publish opportunity wins to the ESB, which will call back for account, contact, and opportunity information and automatically update the ERP accordingly is the best option to meet the requirement of updating the ERP system with information from Salesforce when a new Account has its first closed/won opportunity. Platform Events are events that are published and consumed by applications inside or outside of Salesforce using an event-driven architecture. An ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) is a software component that connects different applications and systems using common standards and protocols. By implementing Platform Events to publish opportunity wins to the ESB, Cloud Kicks can trigger an event whenever an opportunity is closed/won for a new Account in Salesforce, and send it to the ESB. The ESB can then call back for account, contact, and opportunity information from Salesforce using APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), and automatically update the ERP system with this information accordingly. This way, Cloud Kicks can ensure data synchronization and accuracy between Salesforce and the ERP system without having to use third-party tools or manual processes.

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.

When troubleshooting why some leads are routing to the default lead owner after an update to the Web-to-Lead form, the consultant should validate that the new picklist values are part of the Lead assignment rule criteria. Lead assignment rules determine how leads are routed based on specified criteria. If the new picklist values are not included in these criteria, leads with those values will not match any rule and will be assigned to the default lead owner. Ensuring that all picklist values are accounted for in the assignment rules is crucial for proper lead routing.

Account Teams are groups of users who work together on an account and its related records, such as opportunities, contracts, and cases. Account Teams allow users to share different levels of access to accounts and associated records based on their team roles and responsibilities. For example, a sales rep may have full access to an account and its opportunities, while a customer service agent may have read-only access to the account and full access to its cases.

When a quote is synced with an opportunity, any changes made to the quote line items are reflected in the opportunity line items, and vice versa. However, if a synced quote line item is deleted, the related opportunity line item remains unchanged. This means that the consultant should consider how to handle the discrepancy between the quote and the opportunity when implementing the custom fields.

reCAPTCHA is a service that protects websites from spam and abuse by using a simple test to verify that users are human. By enabling reCAPTCHA verification in Web-to-Lead settings, the customer can prevent bots from submitting web-to-lead forms and creating unwanted leads.

Using a Roll-up Summary field from the Opportunity to the Account is the best way to meet the requirement of showing the total values of open opportunities on account records when enabling Advanced Currency Management. A Roll-up Summary field is a field that calculates values from related records, such as count, sum, min, max, etc. Advanced Currency Management is a feature that allows users to enable dated exchange rates and track historical exchange rates in Salesforce. By using a Roll-up Summary field from the Opportunity to the Account, Cloud Kicks can display the sum of the open opportunity amounts on each account record, and use the dated exchange rates to convert the currency amounts based on the close date of the opportunities.

To convert a lead into a Person Account, the Company field must be populated with ‘Person’. This indicates that the lead is an individual consumer and not a business account. If the Company field is left blank, the lead conversion will fail.

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.

When a Salesforce admin assigns User A as the owner of an opportunity related to User B’s account, User A will have Read-Write access to the opportunity’s Account and its related contact records. This is because of the implicit sharing rules that grant access to parent and child records based on the organization-wide default settings. Since the organization-wide default setting for Account is set to Private, users are unable to see each other’s accounts by default. However, when a user owns an opportunity that is related to another user’s account, the user gains Read-Write access to that account and its related contacts, regardless of the sharing settings for those objects. This ensures that the user can view and edit the account and contact information that is relevant to their opportunity.

User stories are a way of capturing requirements using an Agile methodology. User stories describe what a user wants to do, why they want to do it, and how it will benefit them. User stories are written from the user’s perspective, using simple and clear language. User stories can help the consultant understand the customer’s needs and priorities, and deliver value in small and frequent increments. Verified References:

Conducting discovery sessions and documenting existing business practices for each company is the recommended approach. This step ensures that the consultant understands the workflows, data usage, and business processes of both companies. It allows for a comprehensive assessment and aids in the creation of a well-informed integration and migration plan. According to Salesforce best practices, understanding the current state through discovery sessions is crucial before any data migration or integration can take place. It helps in identifying potential conflicts, redundancies, and areas for improvement, which can then be addressed in the project plan.

Advanced Currency Management allows you to specify different conversion rates for different time periods, such as monthly or quarterly, and use them in reports and forecasts. This can help you generate accurate reporting that reflects the currency fluctuations over time. Org-wide reporting can also display deal values in different currencies based on the user’s preference or the corporate currency. Verified References:

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.

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.

To migrate all the sales data into CK’s Salesforce instance, the consultant should recommend the following data migration sequence for the objects:

Accounts

Opportunities

Contacts

Products

Product Line Items

Cases

Leads

Campaigns

This sequence ensures that all the parent records are created before their child records, and that all the lookup and master-detail relationships are preserved. For example, an opportunity must have an account before it can be created, and a product line item must have an opportunity and a product before it can be created.

Record Types are a capability that enables the use of custom fields, contextual validation rules, and varied layouts for different types of campaigns. A record type is a way to offer different business processes, picklist values, and page layouts to different users based on their profiles. By creating record types for trade shows and customer webinars, Cloud Kicks can track different details for these types of campaigns by using custom fields, such as location, budget, attendance, etc. Cloud Kicks can also enforce contextual validation rules, such as requiring certain fields or values depending on the record type. Cloud Kicks can also display varied layouts for each record type, such as showing or hiding certain fields or sections based on the campaign type.

This solution should be recommended for Cloud Kicks if they have a complicated sales process and their sales reps often have difficulty deciding when to move opportunities through various stages. Activating Path and adding up to five key fields and Guidance for Success will allow Cloud Kicks to provide their sales reps with a visual representation of the sales process stages and helpful tips and resources for each stage. Path is a feature that helps sales reps move records along predefined steps by displaying key fields and guidance on each step. Guidance for Success is a customizable section on Path that can include text, links, images, or videos to assist sales reps in completing tasks or achieving goals at each stage.

To troubleshoot the issue of not being able to activate all Sales Cloud Einstein features, the consultant should confirm that users have the necessary feature licenses assigned. Without the appropriate licenses, users will not be able to access or activate certain Einstein functionalities. Ensuring that all required licenses are correctly assigned is a crucial step in enabling full functionality.

Assigning Feature Licenses

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.

A communication plan is a document that outlines the objectives, methods, frequency, and stakeholders of project communication. It is essential for ensuring that everyone involved in the project is on the same page and aware of their roles and responsibilities. If the sales team at Cloud Kicks has been missing deadlines and meetings, it may indicate that there is a lack of communication or alignment between them and the customer. Therefore, the consultant should recommend revisiting the communication plan and setting up more frequent touch points with the customer to monitor progress, address issues, and manage expectations.

Creating an Opportunity History report for open pipeline Opportunities in a given date range is the best way to meet the requirement of providing visibility on sales pipeline changes on a monthly basis. An Opportunity History report is a report that shows how opportunities have changed over time based on historical data, such as stage, amount, probability, etc. An open pipeline Opportunity is an opportunity that has not been closed yet and has a positive amount and probability. A date range is a filter that limits the report data to a specific period of time, such as last month, this month, next month, etc. By creating an Opportunity History report for open pipeline Opportunities in a given date range, Universal Containers’ sales operations team can track and compare how the sales pipeline has changed from month to month based on different metrics and dimensions.

These are the prerequisites for enabling Person Accounts in a Salesforce org, as stated in the documentation. Person Accounts are a special type of account that combines account and contact data into a single record. They are useful for B2C scenarios where individuals are customers rather than organizations.

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.

Creating Reports on User Logins

Mass transferring the records to another role in the role hierarchy and removing the users from the role hierarchy are two solutions that can resolve the issue of making changes to the sharing model taking increasingly more time for users who own more than 10,000 records. A mass transfer is an operation that allows users to transfer ownership of multiple records from one user to another user at once. A role hierarchy is a structure that defines how users are organized and how data access is granted based on their roles. By mass transferring the records to another role in the role hierarchy, Cloud Kicks can reduce the number of records owned by each user and distribute them more evenly among other users in different roles. By removing the users from the role hierarchy, Cloud Kicks can prevent these users from inheriting access to records owned by other users in their role or below their role, which can slow down the sharing model changes.

Salesforce Maps is a feature that allows users to visualize and optimize their sales territories and activities on interactive maps. Users can also access various data sources to enrich their maps with additional information, such as demographics, weather, traffic, or business data. The Demographic Context data source is one of the data sources that users can add to their maps to display income ranges for regions within their territories, such as zip codes, counties, or states. This can help sales reps determine the best neighborhoods to canvas based on the household income range of their potential customers.

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.

These are two aspects that a consultant should consider for migrating Territory Management to a new structure for the upcoming fiscal year. Territories can inherit assignment rules from other territories higher in the model, which can simplify the process of assigning accounts and users to multiple territories. Only one territory model can be active at any given time, which means that you need to deactivate the current model before activating the new one, and ensure that there is no gap in territory coverage.

To ensure that sales reps are negotiating with contacts who have the authority to make decisions, the consultant should recommend requiring sales reps to add the stakeholder as the decision maker on each opportunity before they can progress the stage. This approach enforces accountability and ensures that sales reps are identifying and engaging with the appropriate decision-makers early in the sales process. Implementing such a requirement helps reduce the risk of negotiating with non-decision makers and increases the likelihood of successful deals.

Qualified contacts are the contacts that should be migrated from the marketing application to leads in Salesforce when following a new Salesforce implementation. A contact is a record that represents an individual who is associated with an account or business. A lead is a record that represents a potential customer who has shown interest in a product or service. A qualified contact is a contact who has met certain criteria or thresholds that indicate their readiness or willingness to buy, such as score, behavior, demographics, etc. By migrating qualified contacts from the marketing application to leads in Salesforce, Cloud Kicks can ensure that only the most promising prospects are handed off to the sales team for further follow up and conversion.

To show reports and dashboards with Opportunity Forecast by Product family with team Quotas, creating a custom report type that includes Forecasting Quotas and Forecasting Items is the recommended solution. This custom report type allows sales managers to generate detailed reports that combine information about forecasted opportunities and the quotas set for the team, providing a comprehensive view of performance by product family.

Implementing sales processes that map to each Opportunity record type and creating Opportunity record types for each product line are the two actions that can meet these requirements. A sales process is a set of stages that represent the steps in your sales cycle for a specific product line or business unit. An Opportunity record type is a way to offer different business processes, picklist values, and page layouts to different users based on their profiles. By creating Opportunity record types for each product line and mapping them to different sales processes, sales reps can follow the product-specific sales cycle once they qualify a prospect.

The Data Import Wizard and the Data Loader are both tools that can import data into Salesforce and assign records to a queue or run an active assignment rule1. The Data Import Wizard can import up to 50,000 records at a time, while the Data Loader can import up to 5 million records at a time2. Both tools can also prevent duplicates by matching records based on external IDs or Salesforce record IDs3.

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.

Changing the Account organization-wide defaults to Public/Read-Only will allow reps to view any Account but not edit them. Enabling Account Teams will allow owners to grant Read/Write access to specific reps who are responsible for those Accounts. This will ensure that only the relevant reps can edit the Accounts they are assigned to1

This is how the consultant can meet the requirement of excluding a custom field from Einstein Lead Scoring. Einstein Lead Scoring is a feature that uses artificial intelligence to assign scores to leads based on how likely they are to convert into opportunities. The scores are calculated based on a scoring model that analyzes various fields on leads and historical conversion data. Users can customize the scoring model by selecting or omitting fields that they want Einstein to consider or ignore when scoring leads. By omitting the custom field from the scoring model, the consultant can ensure that it does not affect the lead scores. Verified References: [Customize Your Scoring Model]

Salesforce Trust is a website that provides information about the performance, security, compliance, and maintenance of the Salesforce platform. Users can check for scheduled system maintenance on Salesforce Trust by selecting their instance and viewing the maintenance calendar. Users can also subscribe to receive notifications about maintenance events via email or RSS feed.

Salesforce Connect is a feature that allows users to access and view data from external sources in real time, without copying or syncing the data into Salesforce. An external object is a special kind of custom object that maps to a data source outside Salesforce, such as an ERP system. By implementing Salesforce Connect and an external object, CK can view the product order information from the ERP system as a related list on the account record, without storing or updating the data in Salesforce.

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.

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.

During the Discovery phase, observing end users helps consultants understand how users interact with the current system, identify pain points, and determine which capabilities of a Sales Cloud implementation are required. By directly observing the workflow and usage patterns, consultants can gather valuable insights into user needs and requirements, ensuring that the implementation aligns with actual business processes.

Discovery Phase Best Practices

Understanding User Needs through Observation

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. 

To resolve the issue of duplicate leads within Sales Cloud, the consultant should recommend confirming that the custom Lead Matching Rule is activated. While the admin has set up a Matching Rule for Leads, it is essential to ensure that the correct custom rule is active and functioning as intended. This will help in identifying and managing duplicates more effectively, reducing complaints from sales reps.

These two groups should provide content for the use cases for Sales Processes for Cloud Kicks. Sales reps are the primary users of the Sales Processes and they can provide information about their daily activities, challenges, needs, and expectations. Sales operations are responsible for designing, implementing, and managing the Sales Processes and they can provide information about the business requirements, best practices, metrics, and goals.

Creating a junction object between Campaign and Opportunity is the best way to track which marketing activities influenced a customer to make a purchase. This junction object will allow you to track the influence of multiple Campaigns on a single Opportunity, which can be used to gain insights into which Campaigns are most effective.

Updating a custom field using automation and creating a report and dashboard are the two steps required to create a solution for showing the percentage of opportunities in a certain stage that were eventually closed won. A custom field is a field that can be added to an object to store additional information that is not available in the standard fields. Automation is a way of executing actions or tasks based on certain criteria or triggers, such as workflows, process builder, flows, etc. A report is a tool that displays data from one or more objects in a tabular or graphical format. A dashboard is a tool that displays data from one or more reports in a visual way, such as charts, gauges, tables, etc.

By creating a custom field on the Opportunity object that stores the stage value when the Opportunity is closed won or closed lost, and updating this field using automation whenever the stage changes, sales managers can track the original stage of each closed Opportunity. By creating a report and dashboard that show the percentage of closed won Opportunities by their original stage, sales managers can see how effective each stage is in leading to successful deals.

When emails sync by Einstein Activity Capture, the matching to Sales Cloud records is based on the standard Email field. Einstein Activity Capture automatically associates emails and events with the correct Salesforce records by looking at the email addresses of the recipients. The standard Email field on Contact, Lead, and User objects is used to make these associations, ensuring that activities are accurately reflected in the related records.

During the discovery phase of a project, a consultant gathers information to understand the client's needs, objectives, and definitions of success. Asking participants to define what project success will look like is a key part of the discovery process, as it helps establish clear goals and expectations for the project implementation plan.

These answers are some of the insights that Einstein Opportunity Insights can provide to help CK improve its sales productivity. Sentiment analysis can detect the tone and mood of emails between reps and prospects, follow-up reminders can prompt reps to take action on stalled opportunities, and key moments can highlight important events or changes in opportunities.

Building a custom report on Opportunity with custom summary formulas to show win/loss ratio is the best way to meet the requirement of measuring the win ratio for all of the sales associates. A custom report is a report that can be created and customized by users based on their needs and preferences. A custom summary formula is a formula that can be added to a report to calculate values based on the report data, such as sums, averages, percentages, etc. A win/loss ratio is a metric that measures the percentage of closed won Opportunities out of all closed Opportunities. By creating a custom report on Opportunity with a custom summary formula that calculates the win/loss ratio, managers can easily see the performance of their sales associates.

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.

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 most likely cause of the records failing is that updates to child records that have the same parent record are being processed simultaneously. This can cause the records to fail because child records must be imported after the parent records have been imported, and if the parent record is being updated at the same time as the child records, the import will fail. The other options are not likely to be the cause of the failed import.

When implementing sharing rules, the consultant should explain the following considerations to CK:

CK can expand access beyond the organization-wide default levels with sharing rules. Sharing rules are used to grant additional access to records based on record ownership, criteria, or territory.

Organization-wide defaults must be Public Read Only or Private to create sharing rules. Sharing rules cannot be created for objects with Public Read/Write or Public Read/Write/Transfer organization-wide defaults.

When multiple sharing rules are assigned, the user is assigned the least restrictive access. For example, if one sharing rule grants Read-Only access and another sharing rule grants Read/Write access to the same record, the user will have Read/Write access.

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.

Instructing sales reps to follow their opportunities and using Flow with a scheduled action and an email alert are two solutions that can meet the requirement of sending a notification to sales reps when their opportunities remain open past the close date. Following an opportunity allows sales reps to receive updates and reminders about the opportunity in their Chatter feed. Flow with a scheduled action and an email alert allows you to automate the process of sending an email notification to sales reps based on a time-based condition, such as the close date.

This is the approach that the consultant should use for the source data migration. Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities are related objects in Salesforce, and they have dependencies based on their lookup or master-detail relationships. Accounts are parent objects of Contacts and Opportunities, so they should be migrated first. Contacts are child objects of Accounts and parent objects of Opportunity Contact Roles, so they should be migrated second. Opportunities are child objects of Accounts and parent objects of Opportunity Products and Opportunity Splits, so they should be migrated last. Verified References: [Data Migration Best Practices]

Adding a standard dashboard for Sales Cloud Einstein is the best approach to showcase the effectiveness of Einstein Lead Scoring. Salesforce provides pre-built Einstein Analytics dashboards that offer insights into lead scoring performance, helping the VP of sales visualize how lead scoring impacts the sales process. These dashboards include metrics and trends that demonstrate the value and accuracy of the Einstein Lead Scoring implementation.

To drive adoption of Sales Cloud, Universal Containers (UC) should include the identification of change management champions as part of their plan. Change management champions are influential employees who can advocate for the new system, provide support to their peers, and help overcome resistance to change. Their involvement is crucial in promoting user adoption by demonstrating the benefits of the new CRM system and encouraging others to embrace it. According to Salesforce best practices, having internal advocates can significantly improve the success rate of CRM implementations.

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:
