In this chapter, we'll revisit our lead import process to ensure no valuable data gets left behind. 


By incorporating custom fields and flexible picklists, you can maximize data completeness, ensuring Salesforce serves as a comprehensive, actionable resource for EcoMarket Deliveries.

If your imported data has a field called "Date Appointed" that Salesforce doesn't recognize, what can you do to store this data effectively?

Dette er et introduktionskursus for begyndere, der ikke tidligere har brugt et CRM, men som skal anvende Salesforce som en central del af deres arbejde.

Flere og flere af disse job kræver kendskab til Salesforce (eller andre CRM-systemer), og det kan være en barriere for at blive ansat.
