Overall Satisfaction with Salesforce Starter
Starter edition provides a comprehensive toolset for small businesses to get up and running in a matter of days, instead of weeks or months. The package includes sales, service, marketing, map capabilities, and email/phone processes built in. More than that, this edition makes it very easy to scale using starter automation with workflows/flows. Then as you expand, you can easily upgrade to professional and enterprise/unlimited editions with further integration capabilities.
- Sales CRM with built-in guidance and reminders to manage and track opportunities.
- Self-service for customers and internal employee needs. Integrates forms and chatbots very easily into your existing website.
- Guided setup with inherent flows to make transitioning from legacy systems to new age cloud-based technologies
- Integrates with Outlook and Gmail extremely well. Includes the Salesforce Inbox mobile app to link records with calendar and email. Email reminders included automatically.
- The Salesforce Mobile App comes with Starter, making it super easy to work on the go, even in remote areas.
- Certain items look like they are included. For example, sales cadences with call flows are an additional cost.
- Customizing certain business processes during the guided setup, without having Salesforce dev or admin experience.
- I wish it included lower-tier marketing tools for sendable contacts with subdomains for domain health.
- It provides a clean and easy way to cover a large majority of business sales processes.
- It makes it simple to track and manage activities and performance across a team.
- It provides simple quote generation and management out the box, with the ability to forecast across a team, overall or specific to products and services.
Salesforce Starter is exactly what it says. It's specific to getting a small business up and running effectively, without unnecessary development or internal overhead required. It doesn't allow for a ton of customization, but it provides more than most other providers across sales, service, and integration/automating business processes. Some tools are more specific to organizations that want to focus on a specific area to grow or manage their business. That's where the other package types and integrations with specific tools come in.
