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

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 Insert Availability feature in Salesforce Inbox allows sales reps to share their available time slots with prospective clients via email, and let them book a meeting with a single click. This eliminates the back-and-forth communication and manual coordination of finding a suitable time for both parties. The booked meeting is then automatically added to the sales reps’ Salesforce calendar and synced with their Outlook or Gmail calendar.

These are three steps that a consultant should complete to prepare for a successful engagement during the Discovery phase of a project. Establishing project goals can help align the expectations and priorities of the stakeholders and the project team, and provide a clear direction for the project. Defining sales processes can help understand the current and desired state of the customer’s business operations, and identify the gaps and opportunities for improvement. Defining success metrics can help measure the impact and value of the project, and evaluate the progress and outcomes of the project. Verified References:

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.

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.

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.

Account relationships are visible from Person Account records and Account Hierarchy displays only the Accounts users have Read permission to view are two considerations that the consultant should take into account when showing Account relationships to sales reps and reporting on them. Account relationships are connections between Accounts that indicate how they are related to each other, such as parent-child, partner, competitor, etc. Account Hierarchy is a feature that shows how Accounts are related in a tree structure based on their parent-child relationship. Account relationships are visible from Person Account records, meaning that sales reps can see how Person Accounts are related to other Accounts from their record page. Account Hierarchy displays only the Accounts users have Read permission to view, meaning that sales reps can only see the Accounts they have access to in the hierarchy.

Mapping the ERP unique ID to a custom external ID unique number field is the best way to meet the requirement of organizing data using the unique ID that is a number type in the ERP. An external ID is a custom field that has the “External ID” attribute, meaning that it contains unique record identifiers from a system outside of Salesforce. A unique number field is a custom field that has the “Unique” attribute, meaning that it does not allow duplicate values in the field. By mapping the ERP unique ID to a custom external ID unique number field, Cloud Kicks can use this field to match records during data import or update operations, avoid duplicate records or incorrect data, and maintain data integrity between Salesforce and the ERP system.

When implementing Person Accounts and supporting many relationships between customers in Salesforce, the consultant should consider enabling Contacts to Multiple Accounts. This feature allows for the creation of indirect relationships between two or more Person Accounts, which is ideal for tracking household relationships, referrals, and other connections. It provides a flexible way to manage complex relationships without needing to create custom fields or objects.

To provide visibility into how often sales reps are creating opportunities after they are already closed won, the best solution is to configure a report that displays opportunities with a closed date earlier than the created date. This report will highlight any discrepancies where opportunities are being backdated, allowing sales management to monitor and address this issue directly.

Reporting on Opportunity History

Creating Reports to Monitor Sales Activities

Opportunity Splits allow users to divide credit for an opportunity among multiple sales reps who contribute to closing it. Users can specify how much revenue or quantity each sales rep receives from an opportunity, either as a percentage or an amount. Opportunity Splits can be enabled from Setup, and they require that Opportunity Teams are also enabled. Users can then add or edit Opportunity Splits from the Opportunity Splits related list on Opportunity page layouts.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Creating retailer and distributor lead processes can help CK follow two different lead qualification processes before converting leads into opportunities, as it allows them to define different sets of picklist values for the Status field for each lead type. A lead process is a collection of stages that represent the steps that users take to qualify leads, such as Open, Contacted, Qualified, or Converted. Creating Status picklist values specific to each lead type can also help CK follow two different lead qualification processes, as it allows them to customize how they track and measure their progress with different types of leads. For example, they may have different criteria or actions for qualifying a retailer lead versus a distributor lead. Creating distributor and retailer lead record types can also help CK follow two different lead qualification processes, as it allows them to assign different page layouts, processes, and business logic for each lead type. A record type is a way to categorize records based on different business requirements or user profiles.

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.

Lead to Opportunity Conversion Rate is a metric that measures how many leads are converted into opportunities in relation to the total number of leads generated or processed in a given period. This metric can help evaluate the quality of leads and the effectiveness of lead qualification processes by showing how well leads are turning into potential sales. A high Lead to Opportunity Conversion Rate indicates that the leads are well-targeted, qualified, and nurtured, and that the sales team is following up on them promptly and persuasively. A low Lead to Opportunity Conversion Rate may suggest that the leads are poorly sourced, unqualified, or neglected, and that the sales team is missing out on opportunities.

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.

Sales Cloud Implementation Best Practices

Project Planning and Management

To test the changes and updates before go-live, the consultant should recommend creating a new Sandbox, populating it with data, and asking volunteers to test it with use cases. A Sandbox is a copy of the production org that can be used for development, testing, and training purposes. A Sandbox allows the consultant to test the changes in a safe and isolated environment without affecting the live data and users. A Sandbox can also be refreshed to get the latest data and metadata from the production org.

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.

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. 

Path is a feature that helps users visualize and update key fields for each stage of a process, such as an opportunity sales process. By checking the Key Field Required checkbox, the consultant can make sure that users enter the data that managers expect at each stage before moving to the next stage. This can improve data quality and reporting accuracy.

The Lightning Usage App is a tool that provides insights into how users are adopting and interacting with Salesforce features, such as Salesforce Files and multi-factor authentication. The app includes dashboards and reports that show metrics such as file views, downloads, uploads, previews, shares, multi-factor authentication logins, and more. The app can help admins monitor user behavior and identify areas for improvement or training.

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.

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:

The close date regardless of the opportunity stage is how the converted currency amount calculation on Opportunities is determined when using dated exchange rates and Advanced Currency Management. Dated exchange rates are exchange rates that are tied to specific dates or ranges of dates. Advanced Currency Management is a feature that allows users to enable dated exchange rates and track historical exchange rates in Salesforce. When using dated exchange rates and Advanced Currency Management, the converted currency amount on Opportunities is calculated based on the exchange rate that matches the close date of the Opportunity, regardless of whether the Opportunity is open or closed.

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.

A SIPOC diagram is a tool that can be used to show the high-level process areas within a business, as well as the inputs and outputs of each process, and the suppliers and customers involved. It can help provide an overview of how a business operates and how differentprocesses relate to each other. A SWOT diagram is used to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of a business or a project. A value stream map is used to show the flow of value from customer demand to product delivery, and identify waste and improvement opportunities along the way. A capability model is used to describe the capabilities of a business or an organization, and how they support its goals and objectives

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.

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.

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

These three reasons could explain the sales rep’s experience of being able to edit some opportunities associated with accounts they own, but not others. If the organization-wide defaults for opportunities are set to Private, then the sales rep can only edit the opportunities that they own or that are explicitly shared with them. If all provisioned Opportunity object permissions enable Read access with all accounts the sales rep owns, then the sales rep can view but not edit any opportunity associated with their accounts, regardless of who owns the opportunity. If some opportunities associated with the sales rep’s account are owned by other users, then the sales rep can only edit those opportunities if they have been shared with them or if they have a higher role in the role hierarchy than the owner.

A. Create criteria-based opportunity sharing rules for each product line. This allows you to specify criteria for sharing an Opportunity with a specific user or group of users. For example, you could create a rule that shares an Opportunity with the product engineer when the Opportunity has a certain product line assigned to it. B. Enable Default Opportunity Teams for the Opportunity. This allows you to set a default Opportunity Team for an Opportunity, which will automatically assign the product engineer to the Opportunity when it is created. This is useful when you need to assign a specific user to multiple Opportunities.

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.

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.

Unchecking the Grant Access Using Hierarchies checkbox in Sharing Settings for the Complaints object and creating a criteria-based sharing rule that grants Read/Write access to the Complaints Specialist public group are two options that can meet the requirements of restricting access to Complaint records to only users within the Complaints Specialist public group. Grant Access Using Hierarchies is a setting that determines whether users above a record owner in the role hierarchy can access that record. By unchecking this setting for the Complaints object, the consultant can prevent managers or other users higher in the role hierarchy from viewing or editing Complaint records that they do not own. A criteria-based sharing rule is a rule that grants access to records that meet certain criteria, such as field values, record types, etc. By creating a criteria-based sharing rule that grants Read/Write access to the Complaints Specialist public group, the consultant can ensure that only users in this group can view and edit any Complaint record, regardless of who owns it.

Account Roll-up Summary fields will update from the Opportunity object is something that Cloud Kicks should consider when enabling Advanced Currency Management in its Salesforce org. 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 enabling Advanced Currency Management, Cloud Kicks can use dated exchange rates to convert currency amounts based on specific dates or ranges of dates. When using dated exchange rates, Account Roll-up Summary fields will update from the Opportunity object based on the close date of the opportunities, regardless of whether the opportunities are open or closed.

These are two considerations that the consultant should take into account when deciding on the timing of the release. Testing changes in a Full Sandbox can help ensure that the changes work as expected and do not cause any errors or conflicts in Production. Installing a new incentive management package along with Territory Management changes may introduce high risk to the deployment, as both changes can affect sales performance, reporting, forecasting, and compensation. It may be advisable to stagger the releases or perform them during off-peak hours to minimize the impact on users and business operations.

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.

To support a successful sales team transition when restructuring sales teams to align with product lines, the consultant should meet with territory sales leadership to design territory assignment rules. Territory management ensures that sales reps are assigned to the correct accounts and territories based on the new structure. Designing territory assignment rules will help in automatically assigning the right accounts to the appropriate sales reps, streamlining the transition and ensuring that each sales rep focuses on the accounts they have been assigned. Salesforce's Territory Management functionality provides a robust framework for managing and assigning territories efficiently.

When Account Teams are enabled and used for an account, Sales Rep A can grant Read access on the account’s cases to Sales Rep B by adding Sales Rep B as a team member on the account and assigning a team role that has Read access to cases. Sales Rep A can also allow Sales Rep B to view one of the opportunities on the account by adding Sales Rep B as a team member on that opportunity and assigning a team role that has at least Read access to opportunities.

Record types allow you to assign different page layouts, picklist values, and business processes to different users based on their profiles. You can create three record types for the three product lines, and assign them to the appropriate sales teams. You can also create three sets of opportunity stages that reflect the unique sales methodologies for each product line, and associate them with the corresponding record types. This can help you customize the Sales Cloud functionality for each product line and track their progress separately. Verified References:

These are two Salesforce features that can help meet the requirement of returning or reducing the quantity of activated orders. An order is a confirmation of a sale that lists products sold or services rendered to a customer, along with prices and terms of delivery or service. An order can have different statuses, such as Draft or Activated. Some features that can help manage orders are:

Zero Quantity Orders: This feature allows users to create orders with zero quantity for products that are returned or canceled by customers. Zero quantity orders can be used to track returns or cancellations without affecting inventory levels or revenue forecasts.

Reduction Orders: This feature allows users to create orders with negative quantity for products that are reduced or partially returned by customers. Reduction orders can be used to track reductions or partial returns without affecting inventory levels or revenue forecasts.

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. 

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.

When Partial and Full sandboxes are unavailable, the consultant should recommend creating a new Developer sandbox and populating it with data for testing. A Developer sandbox provides a copy of the configuration (metadata) from the production environment and can be used to perform testing. While it has a limited data storage capacity, test data can be created or imported to simulate real-world scenarios. This approach ensures that the changes and updates are thoroughly tested before go-live.

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.

Adding the Lead Score field to the Lead Page layout is a necessary step to fix the issue of pilot users not being able to view the Lead Score field on the Lead record page. The Lead Score field is a standard field that shows how likely a lead is to convert based on Einstein’s analysis of historical data and predictive factors. The Lead Score field must be added to the Lead Page layout for users to see it on their lead records. Assigning the Einstein Lead Scoring permission set is another necessary step to fix the issue, as it grants users access to view and use Einstein Lead Scoring features, such as Lead Score, Lead Score Insights, and Lead Score Field History Tracking.

Sales quotas are the revenue or quantity goals that are assigned to users, teams, or territories for a specific time period. Quotas can be configured manually or imported from a CSV file, and they can be viewed and edited on the Quotas page or on reports. Quota attainment is the percentage of quota achieved by a user, team, or territory for a given period. Quota attainment can be compared with forecast amounts on the forecast page or on reports, to track the sales team’s performance against their goals.

To sell to both consumers and businesses with different Stages, the consultant should use Sales Processes and Record Types. A Sales Process is a set of stages that an opportunity goes through as it moves from creation to closure. 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 different Record Types for consumer and business sales, the consultant can assign different Sales Processes and page layouts to each Record Type. This way, the consumer sales team and business sales team can use different Stages for their opportunities.

Opportunity Splits is a Salesforce feature that allows users to allocate credit to multiple sales reps who collaborate on an opportunity. Users can define different types of splits, such as revenue splits or overlay splits, and assign percentages or amounts to each team member. Opportunity Splits can help track individual and team performance against sales quotas and goals. Verified References: [Opportunity Splits]

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.

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

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 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.

Deploying with Change Sets is a way to migrate Account Team configuration to Production. A Change Set is a collection of metadata components that can be moved from one Salesforce org to another, such as custom objects, fields, workflows, or profiles. Account Team configuration is a type of metadata component that defines how users can share access to accounts and related records with other users based on their team roles and responsibilities. Users can create an outbound Change Set in their source org (such as Sandbox), add Account Team configuration components to it, upload it to their target org (such as Production), and deploy it in their target org after validating it.

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.

Confirming that the custom matching rule is activated is the best way to resolve the issue of duplicate leads in Salesforce. A matching rule is a rule that defines how records are compared for duplicates based on fields and fuzzy logic. A custom matching rule is a matching rule that can be created and customized by users based on their needs and preferences. A custom matching rule must be activated before it can be used by duplicate rules or other features that prevent or allow duplicates. By confirming that the custom matching rule is activated, the admin can ensure that leads are matched according to their criteria and duplicates are detected and handled accordingly.

To show sales operations what the data will look like after the territory account assignments are changed, the consultant should run the updated assignment rules in planning State and view the accounts on the territory detail page. Assignment rules are used to assign accounts to territories based on criteria such as account location, industry, or revenue. By running the assignment rules in planning State, the consultant can preview the results of the rules without actually changing the account ownership or visibility. The consultant can then view the accounts on the territory detail page to see which accounts are assigned to which territories.

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:
