You do not have to be an expert in marketing to recognize that social media is the key to successful Digital marketing. Through social networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram, companies can reach billions of consumers with the tap of a button. From viral growth of your brand to image-damaging scandals, the results can differ dramatically.
We know that Social media is more important than ever for businesses in every industry. Through #SalesforceMarketingCloud integration, social media management improves customer relationships with the tools and capabilities offered. By combining social media management and Salesforce, businesses can dramatically improve customer experience and public perception. It’s a win-win.
For most of us, it's impossible to imagine life without #socialmedia - especially for those of us in marketing. It is astounding to believe that just 18 years ago, microblogging services and social networking platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn were simply ideas in the minds of techies. Today, there are 3.96 billion social media users worldwide, up 4.8 percent from a year ago and increasing every single day!
Many people are surprised to learn that social media accounts for a third of their online time, with social media being accessed seven times more frequently than email. Such a level of customer reachability is well worth the investment – if you ask me.
Maintaining your social media presence isn't enough: You have to engage consumers on multiple social platforms and build brand identity and stand out! By leveraging Salesforce #MarketingCloud, profitability goes through the roof. Based on Salesforce's "State of Marketing" report, 75% of marketing leaders see a direct return on investment for using social media, from creating content to interacting with an ever-present audience.
Salesforce Marketing Cloud Among the capabilities of Marketing Cloud are email marketing, social media marketing, mobile marketing, online advertising, and marketing automation. Using Marketing Cloud, businesses can create personalised, omni-channel customer journeys. The Salesforce product offers SaaS (Software as a service), PaaS (Platform as a service), and IaaS (Infrastucture as a service) tools. Further, it provides cloud services for the running of applications with secure, upgradable, and scalable data.
This Salesforce product (formerly ExactTarget) isn't built on the core Salesforce platform, instead it uses connectors to sync data from your core Salesforce org to #SFMC.
Among its other attributes, #SalesforceCloud offers benefits such as adaptability and multitenancy to manage external and internal relationships. Additionally, it allows for the planning and monitoring of Sales and Marketing #Campaigns as well as the management of services based on insight and valuable data.
4 Benefits 1. By aggregating information from all your social networks, you can stay on top of everything. With the social cloud, the social media team can respond directly to customers on different networks, update their profiles and pages, all from one place. It's easy to integrate - Salesforce Marketing Cloud has many collaboration features and pulls data from a bunch of different places. 2. With Data Enhancements, Marketing Cloud puts all your company's information at your fingertips and uses it to jumpstart your consumer journeys. Understanding consumer psychology is one of the biggest benefits of Salesforce marketing cloud. 3. From psychology to Easy prediction with Einstein Interaction Frequency and Einstein Interaction Scoring, Salesforce Marketing Cloud now has Einstein Artificial Intelligence. By using AI to predict your client's actions, you can decide when to send your direct mail so you can maximize the likelihood they'll be opened and generate interaction. 4. Increases engagement - Successful marketing promotes sales and keeps you competitive. Profitable businesses must build long-term relationships with their customers. Building long-term relationships with customers is easy with Salesforce Marketing Cloud. When it comes to delivering content, companies have to keep consumers in mind. Therefore, Salesforce Marketing Cloud builds critical messages based on customer satisfaction.
So… How can companies utilise Salesforce Marketing Cloud for digital marketing?
· Email marketing. · Mobile push notifications, including in-app notifications. · Content creation · Real-time engagement & analytics. · Campaign automation · Audience segmentation · Data management
Salesforce Marketing Cloud consists of two types of modules: Studios to manage content and specific marketing channels, and Builders to manage data and campaign automation.
The difference between Salesforce #SalesCloud and Marketing Cloud?
The obvious difference... Sales Cloud is for sales teams, whereas Marketing Cloud is for marketers.
Leads, opportunities, orders and more are all managed by Sales Cloud. Because Marketing Cloud manages customer touchpoints across the whole customer lifecycle, it taps into other datasets more so than Sales Cloud.
What about #Pardot…
When there are long sales cycles and multiple decision-makers, Pardot is generally used. You should use Marketing Cloud in the event of a transactional purchase across multiple marketing channels.
5 Traits/Skills That Every Salesforce Recruiter Is Looking For When speaking to an abundance of Salesforce candidates on a daily basis, you often find candidates asking you the same question on a regular basis:
How is the market at the moment?
What products would you say are most in demand?
How did you get my number?
But one of the most important questions that I rarely hear candidates ask is: what are the company are looking for? Not in terms of experience, or technical skills, but in terms of personal attributes. Whilst a technical skillset and experience can establish a candidate as a good fit for a role on surface level, every company has a different culture internally and certain attributes are favoured consistently throughout the Salesforce ecosystem, and so I thought it would be a good idea to run over 9 different traits that you will find (almost) every Salesforce practice want:
Personable Whether you are working for a consultancy, an end-user, or an innovative ISV, every single company is going to be looking for a candidate that is friendly, personable and easy to get along with. With culture (in my opinion) being the most important factor in employee satisfaction and retention, the last thing any practice is going to want to do is bring in a new starter that could negatively impact the team dynamic. So, being a friendly, approachable and personable individual is going to be the foundations upon which you will build your personal profile.
Ambitious As you can imagine, every company when bringing on a new hire is going to want someone that wants to go far and really succeed in their career. Ambition doesn’t just mean an administrator wanting to go down the architect route in the long term – if you’re a consultant, do you want to become the go-to for a specific product like CPQ or Marketing Cloud? Do you want to become the go-to administrator within your organisation for any technical issues? Clients love to hear about any short-term ambitions that you might have, as they’re a good indicator not only about your career plans, but your mindset around the role as a whole.
Passion Salesforce is one of the fastest changing technologies in the world, with constant innovations being introduced to the ecosystem. That might be a new product entirely, or simply a new feature within a certain product. Regardless, if a candidate is passionate about the technology, you are much more likely to immerse yourself fully in the ecosystem and keep up to date with new developments, in turn making you a much more impactful employee.
Consultative Regardless of what your role is in the Salesforce ecosystem, the number one role of any Salesforce employee is to solve an issue. Whether that be implementing a simple FLOW as an administrator or developing pages upon pages of code as a developer, your primary role is to solve a problem that an organisation is facing. A naturally consultative person will make identifying any outlying issues much easier, and will often dig deeper into these problems, which makes identifying the best solution straightforward for them.
Adaptable With the ever-changing landscape in Salesforce, that brings about new challenges for candidates of all levels. Being able to adapt to situations as they arise makes problem-solving a much less stressful process and helps put the wider team at ease. Furthermore, having a wider team affords you the opportunity to learn and develop, whether that be from a technical perspective or in terms of the processes you follow.
Buying and selling processes are being simplified. With flexible offerings and seamless online experiences, B2B customers expect transactions to be as easy as B2C. A solution is also required to accommodate flexible payment terms.
Here we share our knowledge and interpretation of everything Salesforce CPQ and how you might benefit from becoming a CPQ Specialist.
Before we start... What is Salesforce CPQ?
Salesforce CPQ software has been around for decades, but innovation in SF CPQ software is seen as the next big thing in sales optimization. Companies can use Salesforce's Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) tool to provide accurate pricing for various scenarios. By covering the end-to-end functions of an organization's sales activity, this unified quote-to-cash process enables reps to quote efficiently and accurately.
Salesforce CPQ creates a seamless experience for both sales representatives and customers, Salesforce. RevenueCloud and CPQ combine product/service configuration, pricing, quote creation, billing and ordering processes.
Facts
Companies use Salesforce CPQ to generate #quotes quickly and accurately for orders.
In Salesforce CPQ software, quotes are automatically generated based on a pre-programmed set of rules, considering quantities, discounts, customizations, optional features, multiple revenue types, and incompatibilities.
Most companies that don’t use Salesforce CPQ software have a sales process that’s slowed by the time it takes sales to deliver accurate quotes.
Many companies are considering Salesforce CPQ Software because of its functionality and potential return on investment (ROI).
In conjunction with CRMs and ERPs, CPQ adoption will grow as companies see the benefits.
What is CPQ’s main advantage? To deliver timely quotes, #salesreps need to find the right pricing rules in spreadsheets when offering options, configurations, or prices to customers. By clearly defining pre-programmed rules, Salesforce CPQ avoids this conflict - with the customer and within the company. You can specify every possible configuration, price, discount, and scenario in a CPQ application, making customizing products easy.
Why it’s important:
Increases Sales with Quote Accuracy
Identifies specialisations, add-ons, and upsells.
Saves time and speeds up processes.
Within an organization, different departments have different processes, such as manufacturing, legal, sales, and finance. Through CPQ, these departments can communicate seamlessly.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) CPQ can be integrated with enterprise resource planning (ERP)systems, for example. Sales can check out delivery statuses, executives can look at sales processes, and operations can look at trends.
Want to get Salesforce CPQ specialist Certified?! Someone with hands-on experience with the CPQ package is the ideal candidate for taking the CPQ Specialist exam. By taking this Salesforce Certification, you will demonstrate to others that you have the knowledge and skills needed to implement and roll out the CPQ package effectively. To pursue additional Salesforce CPQ projects, this certification is essential for customers and partners who want or have already implemented CPQ.
The SalesforceAdministrator Certification or equivalent experience is recommended, even though the CertifiedCPQ Specialist Certification has no prerequisites at this time.

With Salesforce being ranked as the number 1 Customer Experience and CRM market share leader both globally and in the United Kingdom based on 2017 total software revenue... Salesforce has experienced exponential growth over the past five years, with more than 150,000 customers expected by 2021. The demand for an all-in-one ERP has led Salesforce to hold just shy of 20% of the overall CRM market due to this growth and demand.
While larger companies often have enterprise-level, multicloud instances, at Steadman Brown we have seen a significant increase in smaller companies upgrading their archaic systems or upgrading their Excel spreadsheets to a more streamlined system.
It is necessary to hire someone to make the smaller changes to Salesforce and maintain it, but what happens when the business's needs exceed the administrator's capabilities? Conversely, what if the business itself outgrows its technical capabilities? What do you do next? Maybe it's time to hire a Salesforce CRM manager!
How do Salesforce Administrators and Salesforce CRM Managers differ?
Many companies (especially those with smaller user bases using the ‘out of the box’ functionality) have Salesforce administrators in post or someone in the business serving as a Salesforce administrator. This person is often responsible for supporting users, making changes to the Salesforce platform, and creating reports and dashboards.
Salesforce CRM Managers often bring a different set of skills to the table in addition to administration skills. The skills include but are not limited to: being able to consult the business and stakeholders, identifying how Salesforce can be better used and ROI increased, and being able to create and/or improve a clear and strategic roadmap (plan) for Salesforce.
Before going to the recruitment market, what else should be considered?
The interview process:
You should look at how you will assess the skill set of any candidate first... If you have a Salesforce administrator in place, they will understand what exactly is needed... If you are working with a Salesforce Consultancy, they will be a powerful asset in helping to structure the higher level/ more technical elements of an interview (consultants are not uncommon during the interview process).
Creating a technical assessment or case study on resolving an issue with a Salesforce solution for them to present can be useful in a multitude of ways. This can start with a quick assessment of their ability to do ‘what it says on the tin’, but also assessing their ability to effectively communicate with the company. (a vital skill that can slip through the interview process screening)
Working with a Salesforce recruitment agency, like Steadman Brown, can add even more value since they will be able to screen candidates technically and even hold the first round to save you time interviewing candidates who aren't qualified. Additionally, they can identify the reasons and motivations for why prospective candidates are looking for a job, what they are looking for, reducing drop-out rates and issues further down the line (at the offer stage).
At Steadman Brown, we do everything we can to help our Candidates and Clients alike.
Are you ready to hire? You may wish to contact us if you have spoken with your current Salesforce person and/or Salesforce partner to discuss how we can help.
Steadman Brown specializes exclusively in Salesforce recruitment. I personally lead the team here, which works exclusively with Salesforce Administrators and CRM Managers in order to build stronger relationships with the candidates.
Technically screening each candidate and sharing our findings with you is something we take great pride in. We are committed to working as an extension of your business and recruitment team to understand your needs.
If you would like to learn more about us, see how we can add value to your recruitment process, or are interested in a market insight, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The new age of digital focus has resulted in many companies investing in CRM and implementing Salesforce as their primary system for internal operations. After implementation, consulting will only get you so far in your goal of making it a one-stop shop for all things operations.
I believe that making that dream a reality requires an awesome Salesforce team to work with you, and that means dividing the workstream between specialists.
Here we'll explore why you need a Salesforce Business Analyst as part of your Salesforce Team!
Salesforce SME roles tend to be filled by an administrator. Administrators perform a variety of different roles and tasks and are often the backbone of the organization. This can, however, prevent further development depending on the size and complexity of the environment as well as individual strengths as an administrator.
At Steadman Brown we've noted that the most popular Salesforce hire is an administrator, while the least popular is a Salesforce business analyst. Often, a business believes a general system Business Analyst will have the right process knowledge to map and identify the gaps within the system, but the Administrator is capable of hosting a requirement gathering workshop, leading to dismissal of the fact that they have no prior experience with analysis.
In the Salesforce Recruitment space, Steadman Brown brought a new concept that had never been done before, the concept of having specific teams for each specific role. This includes recruiting Business Analysts. Personally, I often speak with companies who have realised that a Salesforce Business Analyst is the missing component in their Salesforce team.
Here's a few points to see if you could benefit from hiring a business analyst! Businesses that have rolled out Salesforce, built the system to house their various departments, but are still struggling to see the ROI from their C-level stakeholders, might want to review their roadmaps and plans. It is a Business Analyst's job to discover what is wrong with the current set-up and remap it in a streamlined way that the technical team can work from.
Hiring a BA is in fact a long-term hire and hiring a BA should not be stigmatized as a project-specific hire that will be redundant after the project is complete. By constantly feeding your technical team with information, a BA ensures that your system can continuously be developed to meet everchanging demands.
Finally, I want to emphasize that this isn't their first rodeo. Having seen a lot of companies in your shoes, they can use this experience to understand the challenge and collaborate with the right team - no system is worth over coding when a simple set of flows would have achieved the same result.
Have we raised some questions? When you're wondering what's wrong with your current team or why you aren't getting the most from your investment, it might be time to consider external help.
We at Steadman Brown have had the opportunity to get an inside look at Salesforce setups for companies in every industry. Our team has spoken to companies in your situation, and we know there is a gap somewhere in the Salesforce team.
Contact us if you are ready to hire. Who knows, you might end up hiring a Salesforce Business Analyst after all.
