Let’s assume you’re in the market for a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution, a Marketing Automation solution or may be a Sales and Service solution that’s on the cloud and decided to go with the popular choice of Salesforce. Your next step would be to look for a qualified and certified consultant and implementation partner to go with. With every partner claiming they are the best; it can get really confusing to select the right Salesforce CRM Consulting and Implementation partner. Let me help provide some guidance in your Salesforce Partner selection process.
Salesforce® categorizes their partners in various levels like Silver, Gold, Platinum (like Marlabs Inc.). But how does this affect and benefit you as a buyer?
Salesforce® created these standards and levels based on Partner Value Score (PVS) and evaluates their partners based on these. The PVS are based on 3 main criteria that are measured over 12 to 18 months based on –
Customer Satisfaction (at Marlabs we call it “Customer Bliss”)
Sales - Higher sales numbers mean more business and more experience out of projects. Salesforce rewards and recognizes partners who has worked on different types of projects and has an in-depth knowledge on implementation. Salesforce also recognizes partners who specialize in certain clients like Mortgage, Lending or Non-Profit. Marlabs for example has worked on ~500 projects globally.
So as a prospective buyer – you know that the Salesforce CRM Consulting and Implementation partner knows their stuff and will do an excellent job.
Expertise – Salesforce measure expertise by the number of certifications held by the partner’s employees. These include certifications for Salesforce Sales Cloud, Salesforce Service Cloud, Salesforce Platform Developers, Salesforce App builders and Salesforce consultants, etc. Salesforce Partners with deep expertise and diverse knowledge (like Marlabs with a 100% certified Salesforce team) are in a better position to serve their clients.
As a prospective buyer – you get the confidence of working and relying on a team of specialized, highly skilled and knowledgeable individuals; and be rest assured that there will be no gaps between what you need and what they will deliver.
Customer Satisfaction (or Customer Bliss as we like to say it) – It is measured by Salesforce through surveys. Salesforce rolls our surveys to past and current clients to understand who is providing the highest level of service and support. Marlabs has a Customer Satisfaction score of 9.82 on a scale at 10 (as measured by Salesforce).
As a prospective buyer – you understand the level of commitment and dedication the Salesforce CRM Consulting & Implementation Partner has towards delivering the absolute best from the word go!
