How to Improve Salesforce Adoption Rates Through Customization

“Is this necessary?”

“We’ve always done it this way.”

“That is a steep learning curve to navigate.”

All of us hear one or all of these reactions when there is a proposed change. If it is a change that drives new ways of working and transforms processes, there is going to be a natural resistance to it. And that is why most organizations that implement a powerful CRM like Salesforce struggle with low end-user adoption rates.

To achieve success and quicken the path to improved adoption, customization is key.

Customizing feature-packed software can feel like boiling the ocean.

So, how do you customize Salesforce to increase adoption rates?

Mobile

Configure/Customize Salesforce mobile app to make all common tasks performed by the user easily accessible. User interfaces and workflows should be customized for mobile devices so that it makes it easy for the users to use the mobile app. It is important to configure the mobile app based on the user’s role.

Automate Processes

What happens when teams that were supposed to be more productive and empowered after implementing a CRM feel hamstrung by it? Unfortunately, most sales teams feel a CRM is a blocker in the way and adds layers of complexity.

To quicken processes and increase buy-in, automate redundant processes. Through customizing Salesforce templates, standardizing workflows, and automating repetitive tasks, you can boost adoption rates.

Integration
