If you have worked with Salesforce, you have probably heard about Managed Services too. The name might suggest what it means, but there is more to it that needs deeper exploration.

Salesforce is like the “linchpin” of your business. It helps you find the most profitable prospects, get to know them better, turn them into customers, and delight them with an incredible experience. You obviously want your precious CRM to be in the best of health to deliver its best performance.

 

 

Hand-picked Experts To Optimize Your Salesforce’s Health & Performance
 

If Salesforce was actually an indispensable team member of your organization, and its health could make or break your company's bottom line, you would have hired a dedicated health coach to keep an everyday check on diet, exercise needs, vitals, and so on. Every now and then, you’d also consult specialists–nutritionist(30% of the days/year), psychologist(20%), physiotherapist(10%) and meditation coach(30%). For a health issue, you’ll need a doctor (10%).

Salesforce Managed Services work in the same way.

You get a pool of certified Salesforce professionals, each with unique expertise, they proactively manage your Salesforce to achieve peak performance and realize business goals. There’s no need to invest in a full-time team–just pay for the skills you need, on monthly or hourly basis. Unlike the in-house team, you don’t have to worry about hiring, training or supervision.
