Want to Improve the ROI of Your Salesforce Investment? Evaluate Your Salesforce Adoption Maturity

If you’re like most companies, you implemented Salesforce with high hopes and the best of intentions. But without careful attention and regular tune-ups, your organization may not have evolved quite as planned. Salesforce licenses are not cheap. Leveraging Salesforce to its fullest will help ensure the investment really pays off.

The Salesforce Adoption Maturity Model is a high-level blueprint for defining which stage/level you are at in the customer relationship management lifecycle as well as the tools and strategies you need to get to the next level of maturity. The model gives you a framework to adopt Salesforce successfully, so you receive immediate benefits while setting up the platform for future growth and increased value.

The Salesforce Adoption Maturity Model is broken down into the following five stages: Ad Hoc, Repeatable, Defined, Managed and Optimized.

How to Improve the ROI of Your Salesforce Investment

Progressing through each level  of the model, e.g. from Ad Hoc to Repeatable, is a big deal. Each level brings new benefits to your organization such as a more detailed set of processes, a defined sales pipeline with centralized data and tools that allow different departments to synchronize and create a 360 degree view of the customer. Progressing through the model enables you to receive the long-term benefits of Salesforce, while maximizing your initial investment.
