  2. Tip #1: “If it’s not in Salesforce, it doesn’t exist!” • The system must be the trusted, authoritative source for your organization’s data. • Push data quality early and often. • Help users understand how to identify bad data and become invested in eliminating it. • Goal: Move users away from their own record-keeping systems (Excel, etc.) and into Salesforce.

  3. Tip #2: Incentivize • Biggest driver of adoption: when users see how Salesforce makes their lives easier. • Recruit power users as advocates. Make Salesforce the “cool kids’ table.” • Use Chatter to drive staff into Salesforce — that’s where the conversation is happening. • Engage users as your Quality Assurance team. They’re your bug-finders! • Consider contests/prizes for top users.

  4. Tip #3: Training, Training, Training • Recruit other staff (NOT management) as additional trainers.It means a lot more coming from peer users, not just admins. • Break training into manageable chunks. • Offer monthly or quarterly tips & tricks and/or refresher sessions. • Impromptu one-on-one trainings go a long way toward building user confidence.

  5. Tip #4: Get Management On Board • Leadership needs to drive adoption, particularly with tech-resistant staff. Both fear and confidence are contagious! • Recruit a “champion” within upper management to advocate for adoption. • Establish clear expectations and meaningful metrics for measuring adoption. • Demonstrate to management how increased adoption provides them greater visibility into the organization’s operations.

  6. Tip #5: Customize • Invest in automation & custom reports to save users time and headaches. • Spend the time with users to customize the UI to their liking as much as feasible. • Use Permission Sets, Profiles, and Record Types to limit information and avoid overwhelming users. • Encourage “wish list” requests. • Regularly solicit feedback!
