Salesforce Sales-Cloud-Consultant Certified Salesforce Sales Cloud Consultant (SP23) Exam Practice Test

This solution will meet the requirement by allowing the CEO to run reports from the sales team’s reports folder, the CEO’s assistant to control access to the reports, and the sales managers to change the reports when necessary. The View access level will allow the CEO to view and run reports in the folder, but not edit or delete them. The Manage access level will allow the CEO’s assistant to view, run, edit, delete, and share reports in the folder, as well as add or remove users from the folder. The Edit access level will allow the sales managers to view, run, and edit reports in the folder, but not delete or share them3

To ensure that key fields are populated when creating leads manually, the consultant should apply the following functionalities:

• A required field. This forces the user to enter a value for a field before saving a record. The administrator can make a field required at the page layout level or at the field definition level.
• A validation rule. This checks that the data entered by a user meets certain standards before saving a record. The administrator can create a validation rule with a formula that evaluates whether a field meets certain criteria, such as length, format, or value.

• Setting up Account Teams with defaults for each sales rep is the best solution to meet the requirement of ensuring that the assigned sales ops specialist and sales engineer have access to the correct Accounts. An Account Team is a group of users who work together on an Account, such as sales reps, sales engineers, managers, etc. Each Account Team member has a role and a level of access to the Account and its related records, such as Contacts, Opportunities, Cases, etc. By setting up Account Teams with defaults for each sales rep, the admin can automatically add the sales ops specialist and the sales engineer to the Account Team whenever a sales rep creates or owns an Account. This way, the sales ops specialist and the sales engineer can view and edit the Account and its related Contacts.

User stories are a way of capturing requirements using an Agile methodology. User stories describe what a user wants to do, why they want to do it, and how it will benefit them. User stories are written from the user’s perspective, using simple and clear language. User stories can help the consultant understand the customer’s needs and priorities, and deliver value in small and frequent increments. Verified References:

• Viewing the territory forecasts as a single-page summary and sharing the forecast with any Salesforce user are two actions that forecast managers can perform. A territory forecast is a forecast that shows how much revenue is expected from a specific territory or group of territories. A single-page summary is a view of the territory forecast that displays all the territories in the hierarchy and their forecast amounts in one page. Forecast managers can use this view to compare and analyze the performance of different territories at a glance. Forecast managers can also share their forecasts with any Salesforce user who has access to the same forecast type, regardless of their role or territory assignment. This allows them to collaborate and communicate with other users about their forecasts.

To retain the company history of contractors who change companies often, the consultant should recommend implementing the Contacts to Multiple Accounts feature. This feature allows a contact to be related to multiple accounts without creating duplicate records. This way, CK can track the relationship between a contractor and all the companies they have worked with. The consultant can also create a custom role field on the account contact relationship object to indicate the role of the contractor at each company.

These are two Salesforce features that can help meet the requirement of returning or reducing the quantity of activated orders. An order is a confirmation of a sale that lists products sold or services rendered to a customer, along with prices and terms of delivery or service. An order can have different statuses, such as Draft or Activated. Some features that can help manage orders are:

• Zero Quantity Orders: This feature allows users to create orders with zero quantity for products that are returned or canceled by customers. Zero quantity orders can be used to track returns or cancellations without affecting inventory levels or revenue forecasts.
• Reduction Orders: This feature allows users to create orders with negative quantity for products that are reduced or partially returned by customers. Reduction orders can be used to track reductions or partial returns without affecting inventory levels or revenue forecasts.

Multiple Forecast Types must be created and activated to enable forecasting for different product lines that have different sales stages. A Forecast Type is a set of settings that define how forecasts are calculated and displayed for a specific business scenario, such as product line, territory, or revenue type. A Forecast Type can use either standard or custom opportunity fields to group and filter forecast data, such as Type, Product Family, or Territory. The Forecast tab should be visible to easily view the forecasts, as it allows users to see their forecast amounts, quotas, adjustments, and categories in a single page. Users can also drill down into forecast details, compare forecasts with other users or periods, and submit or approve forecasts from the Forecast tab.

Record types allow you to assign different page layouts, picklist values, and business processes to different users based on their profiles. You can create three record types for the three product lines, and assign them to the appropriate sales teams. You can also create three sets of opportunity stages that reflect the unique sales methodologies for each product line, and associate them with the corresponding record types. This can help you customize the Sales Cloud functionality for each product line and track their progress separately. Verified References:

To convert a lead into a Person Account, the Company field must be populated with ‘Person’. This indicates that the lead is an individual consumer and not a business account. If the Company field is left blank, the lead conversion will fail.

This is how the consultant can meet the requirement of excluding a custom field from Einstein Lead Scoring. Einstein Lead Scoring is a feature that uses artificial intelligence to assign scores to leads based on how likely they are to convert into opportunities. The scores are calculated based on a scoring model that analyzes various fields on leads and historical conversion data. Users can customize the scoring model by selecting or omitting fields that they want Einstein to consider or ignore when scoring leads. By omitting the custom field from the scoring model, the consultant can ensure that it does not affect the lead scores. Verified References: [Customize Your Scoring Model]

• Implementing Platform Events to publish opportunity wins to the ESB, which will call back for account, contact, and opportunity information and automatically update the ERP accordingly is the best option to meet the requirement of updating the ERP system with information from Salesforce when a new Account has its first closed/won opportunity. Platform Events are events that are published and consumed by applications inside or outside of Salesforce using an event-driven architecture. An ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) is a software component that connects different applications and systems using common standards and protocols. By implementing Platform Events to publish opportunity wins to the ESB, Cloud Kicks can trigger an event whenever an opportunity is closed/won for a new Account in Salesforce, and send it to the ESB. The ESB can then call back for account, contact, and opportunity information from Salesforce using APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), and automatically update the ERP system with this information accordingly. This way, Cloud Kicks can ensure data synchronization and accuracy between Salesforce and the ERP system without having to use third-party tools or manual processes.

Creating retailer and distributor lead processes can help CK follow two different lead qualification processes before converting leads into opportunities, as it allows them to define different sets of picklist values for the Status field for each lead type. A lead process is a collection of stages that represent the steps that users take to qualify leads, such as Open, Contacted, Qualified, or Converted. Creating Status picklist values specific to each lead type can also help CK follow two different lead qualification processes, as it allows them to customize how they track and measure their progress with different types of leads. For example, they may have different criteria or actions for qualifying a retailer lead versus a distributor lead. Creating distributor and retailer lead record types can also help CK follow two different lead qualification processes, as it allows them to assign different page layouts, processes, and business logic for each lead type. A record type is a way to categorize records based on different business requirements or user profiles.

This is the approach that the consultant should use for the source data migration. Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities are related objects in Salesforce, and they have dependencies based on their lookup or master-detail relationships. Accounts are parent objects of Contacts and Opportunities, so they should be migrated first. Contacts are child objects of Accounts and parent objects of Opportunity Contact Roles, so they should be migrated second. Opportunities are child objects of Accounts and parent objects of Opportunity Products and Opportunity Splits, so they should be migrated last. Verified References: [Data Migration Best Practices]

Deploying the changes from the sandbox to production once both environments are on the same version is the safest and most reliable option, as it ensures that there are no compatibility issues or errors due to different versions of Salesforce. The fix requires functionality in the sandbox version, which means that it cannot be deployed to production until production is upgraded to the same version. Deploying before or during the upgrade window may result in failures or conflicts.

Configuring a new Forecast Type on Opportunity Product grouped by Product Family can improve CK’s forecasts by dividing them by footwear line. A Forecast Type is a set of settings that define how forecasts are calculated and displayed for a specific business scenario, such as product line, territory, or revenue type. A Forecast Type can use either standard or custom opportunity fields to group and filter forecast data, such as Type, Product Family, or Territory. By grouping forecast data by Product Family, CK can see how much revenue they expect to close for each footwear line, such as Formal or Athletic.

A. Create criteria-based opportunity sharing rules for each product line. This allows you to specify criteria for sharing an Opportunity with a specific user or group of users. For example, you could create a rule that shares an Opportunity with the product engineer when the Opportunity has a certain product line assigned to it. B. Enable Default Opportunity Teams for the Opportunity. This allows you to set a default Opportunity Team for an Opportunity, which will automatically assign the product engineer to the Opportunity when it is created. This is useful when you need to assign a specific user to multiple Opportunities.

Setting opportunity access on the role to View All opportunities associated with their accounts allows sales users to view all opportunities that are related to accounts they own or are above them in the role hierarchy. This meets the requirement of giving sales users access to opportunities that are tied to accounts they own. Setting organization-wide defaults for opportunities to Private restricts access to opportunities by default, so that only the owner and users above them in the role hierarchy can view them. This meets the requirement of giving sales users access to opportunities they own.

Salesforce High Velocity Sales is a product that should be recommended for Cloud Kicks if they want to have their supervisors coach the consultants based on the call transcripts. High Velocity Sales is a set of tools that helps sales reps sell faster and smarter by providing them with best practices, automated tasks, and insights. One of the features of High Velocity Sales is Einstein Call Coaching, which uses artificial intelligence to analyze call transcripts and provide feedback and guidance to sales reps and managers.

These answers will allow CK to sell its products in different currencies, as each custom price book can have a different currency and each product can have multiple prices in different currencies. The standard price book must have at least one price for each product in each currency that is used in the org.

• Using quotation marks operator around contact’s first and last name is a recommendation that can yield better search results when searching for contacts in global search. Global search is a feature that allows users to search for records or information across multiple objects and fields in Salesforce. Quotation marks operator is an operator that can be used in global search to find an exact phrase or match in a record or field. For example, searching for “John Smith” will return only records or fields that contain John Smith as an exact phrase or match, not John Doe or Adam Smith or John Smithson. By using quotation marks operator around contact’s first and last name, Cloud Kicks users can narrow down their search results and find the contacts they are looking for more easily and quickly.

This answer will allow CK to build a report that shows Accounts with open Opportunities that are missing Contacts, by using a cross filter to filter Accounts by related objects. A cross filter can show records that have or do not have related records, such as Accounts without Contacts. Official References: [Cross Filters]

These are two guidelines to consider when cloning an order with products. An order is a confirmation of a sale that lists products sold or services rendered to a customer, along with prices and terms of delivery or service. An order can be cloned to create an exact copy of an existing order with all its products and schedules, which can save time and reduce errors when processing repetitive orders. However, there are some limitations and considerations when cloning an order, such as:

• A new order’s currency or price book will remain the same if the original order has products. This means that users cannot change these fields when cloning an order that has products, as they are determined by the products on the order.
• A cloned order’s start date must fall between the associated contract’s start and end dates. This means that users cannot set a start date for a cloned order that is outside the validity period of the contract that the order is linked to, as this would violate the contract terms.

This solution will meet the requirement by allowing Universal Containers to divide the revenue of the closed Opportunities between sales reps that worked on the deal and credit technical sales managers for their support. Enabling Opportunity splits will allow sales reps to share credit for an Opportunity with other team members based on their contribution or involvement in closing a deal. Revenue splits will allow sales reps to divide a percentage of an Opportunity’s amount among team members who helped generate revenue for that Opportunity. Overlay splits will allow sales reps to give credit to team members who provided assistance or support for that Opportunity without generating revenue directly.

Path is a feature that helps users visualize and update key fields for each stage of a process, such as an opportunity sales process. By checking the Key Field Required checkbox, the consultant can make sure that users enter the data that managers expect at each stage before moving to the next stage. This can improve data quality and reporting accuracy.

Einstein Activity Capture is a Salesforce feature that automatically syncs emails and events from Office 365 (or Gmail) to Salesforce. Users do not need to install anything on their computers, as the feature works in the cloud. Users can also choose which emails and events to sync, and relate them to contacts, accounts, opportunities, or other records in Salesforce. Einstein Activity Capture can help users save time and keep track of their customer interactions. Verified References: [Einstein Activity Capture]

• Using custom price books for domestic and international customers is the best way to improve usability for account executives who find the standard price book difficult to use because of different currencies and country-specific product variations. A price book is a list of products and their prices that account executives can use when creating opportunities. A custom price book is a price book that can be created and customized by users based on their needs and preferences. By using custom price books for domestic and international customers, account executives can easily select the appropriate price book for each opportunity based on the customer’s location, currency, and product requirements.

• Record Types are a capability that enables the use of custom fields, contextual validation rules, and varied layouts for different types of campaigns. A record type is a way to offer different business processes, picklist values, and page layouts to different users based on their profiles. By creating record types for trade shows and customer webinars, Cloud Kicks can track different details for these types of campaigns by using custom fields, such as location, budget, attendance, etc. Cloud Kicks can also enforce contextual validation rules, such as requiring certain fields or values depending on the record type. Cloud Kicks can also display varied layouts for each record type, such as showing or hiding certain fields or sections based on the campaign type.

Adding the Lead Score field to the Lead Page layout is a necessary step to fix the issue of pilot users not being able to view the Lead Score field on the Lead record page. The Lead Score field is a standard field that shows how likely a lead is to convert based on Einstein’s analysis of historical data and predictive factors. The Lead Score field must be added to the Lead Page layout for users to see it on their lead records. Assigning the Einstein Lead Scoring permission set is another necessary step to fix the issue, as it grants users access to view and use Einstein Lead Scoring features, such as Lead Score, Lead Score Insights, and Lead Score Field History Tracking.

A custom formula field on the Opportunity object will use the currency of the opportunity record, regardless of the currency of the account or user records. This ensures that the formula field is consistent with other opportunity fields that use currency.

To migrate all the sales data into CK’s Salesforce instance, the consultant should recommend the following data migration sequence for the objects:

• Accounts
• Opportunities
• Contacts
• Products
• Product Line Items
• Cases
• Leads
• Campaigns

This sequence ensures that all the parent records are created before their child records, and that all the lookup and master-detail relationships are preserved. For example, an opportunity must have an account before it can be created, and a product line item must have an opportunity and a product before it can be created.

Salesforce Maps is a feature that allows users to visualize and optimize their sales territories and activities on interactive maps. Users can also access various data sources to enrich their maps with additional information, such as demographics, weather, traffic, or business data. The Demographic Context data source is one of the data sources that users can add to their maps to display income ranges for regions within their territories, such as zip codes, counties, or states. This can help sales reps determine the best neighborhoods to canvas based on the household income range of their potential customers.

• The close date regardless of the opportunity stage is how the converted currency amount calculation on Opportunities is determined when using dated exchange rates and Advanced Currency Management. Dated exchange rates are exchange rates that are tied to specific dates or ranges of dates. Advanced Currency Management is a feature that allows users to enable dated exchange rates and track historical exchange rates in Salesforce. When using dated exchange rates and Advanced Currency Management, the converted currency amount on Opportunities is calculated based on the exchange rate that matches the close date of the Opportunity, regardless of whether the Opportunity is open or closed.

This solution should be recommended for Cloud Kicks if they have a complicated sales process and their sales reps often have difficulty deciding when to move opportunities through various stages. Activating Path and adding up to five key fields and Guidance for Success will allow Cloud Kicks to provide their sales reps with a visual representation of the sales process stages and helpful tips and resources for each stage. Path is a feature that helps sales reps move records along predefined steps by displaying key fields and guidance on each step. Guidance for Success is a customizable section on Path that can include text, links, images, or videos to assist sales reps in completing tasks or achieving goals at each stage.

Instructing sales reps to follow their opportunities and using Flow with a scheduled action and an email alert are two solutions that can meet the requirement of sending a notification to sales reps when their opportunities remain open past the close date. Following an opportunity allows sales reps to receive updates and reminders about the opportunity in their Chatter feed. Flow with a scheduled action and an email alert allows you to automate the process of sending an email notification to sales reps based on a time-based condition, such as the close date.

Salesforce Connect allows you to access data from external sources without copying it to Salesforce. You can create external objects that map to the data in the external system, and use them in Salesforce like any other objects. This can help you view and update customer billing information from another Salesforce org within your current org. Verified References:

Advanced Currency Management allows you to specify different conversion rates for different time periods, such as monthly or quarterly, and use them in reports and forecasts. This can help you generate accurate reporting that reflects the currency fluctuations over time. Org-wide reporting can also display deal values in different currencies based on the user’s preference or the corporate currency. Verified References:

Lead to Opportunity Conversion Rate is a metric that measures how many leads are converted into opportunities in relation to the total number of leads generated or processed in a given period. This metric can help evaluate the quality of leads and the effectiveness of lead qualification processes by showing how well leads are turning into potential sales. A high Lead to Opportunity Conversion Rate indicates that the leads are well-targeted, qualified, and nurtured, and that the sales team is following up on them promptly and persuasively. A low Lead to Opportunity Conversion Rate may suggest that the leads are poorly sourced, unqualified, or neglected, and that the sales team is missing out on opportunities.

• Activating the products and adding them to the price book are the two steps required to make products available for sales reps to add to Opportunities. A product is a good or service that can be sold in an Opportunity. A product must be active in order to be added to a price book. A price book is a list of products and their prices that sales reps can use when creating Opportunities. A product must be added to a price book before it can be added to an Opportunity.

Selecting the Split View option from the ‘My Opportunities’ list view can help sales reps see all of their current opportunities and their full details with a minimal amount of navigation or clicks. The Split View option displays a collapsible panel on the left side of the screen that shows a list of records, such as opportunities, and a main panel on the right side that shows the details of a selected record. Sales reps can easily switch between different records by clicking on them in the left panel, without leaving or refreshing the page.

• Territory Management is the best solution for assigning sales Opportunities based on ZIP codes. Territory Management is a feature that allows sales organizations to structure their sales territories based on criteria such as geography, industry, product line, etc. A territory is a group of accounts and users that share common characteristics or business needs. By using Territory Management, sales teams can define territories based on ZIP codes and assign accounts and Opportunities to those territories automatically or manually.

This answer will allow CK to enable representatives to view the individual team member’s split percentage, where the split percentage is less than 100% of the revenue amount. An opportunity revenue split is a type of opportunity split that allows reps to divide the revenue amount among opportunity team members based on their contribution or role in the sales process. Official References: [Opportunity Splits]

Einstein Activity Capture (EAC) allows users to store emails and attachments in Salesforce and have them visible in the Activity Timeline and Related Lists. Users can choose to show emails added via EAC in the Related Lists activities view.

To use Einstein Activity Capture, users must connect their email accounts to Salesforce. They must also agree to the terms of the service provider before they can send emails in Lightning.

These two groups should provide content for the use cases for Sales Processes for Cloud Kicks. Sales reps are the primary users of the Sales Processes and they can provide information about their daily activities, challenges, needs, and expectations. Sales operations are responsible for designing, implementing, and managing the Sales Processes and they can provide information about the business requirements, best practices, metrics, and goals.

A communication plan is a document that outlines the objectives, methods, frequency, and stakeholders of project communication. It is essential for ensuring that everyone involved in the project is on the same page and aware of their roles and responsibilities. If the sales team at Cloud Kicks has been missing deadlines and meetings, it may indicate that there is a lack of communication or alignment between them and the customer. Therefore, the consultant should recommend revisiting the communication plan and setting up more frequent touch points with the customer to monitor progress, address issues, and manage expectations.

Opportunity Splits is a Salesforce feature that allows users to allocate credit to multiple sales reps who collaborate on an opportunity. Users can define different types of splits, such as revenue splits or overlay splits, and assign percentages or amounts to each team member. Opportunity Splits can help track individual and team performance against sales quotas and goals. Verified References: [Opportunity Splits]

Sales quotas are the revenue or quantity goals that are assigned to users, teams, or territories for a specific time period. Quotas can be configured manually or imported from a CSV file, and they can be viewed and edited on the Quotas page or on reports. Quota attainment is the percentage of quota achieved by a user, team, or territory for a given period. Quota attainment can be compared with forecast amounts on the forecast page or on reports, to track the sales team’s performance against their goals.
