Salesforce Revamp for An Access Management Company

Introduction

PixelConsulting was approached by an Access Management company that is a leading corporation in providing, identifying and protecting the access points of the critical systems across various industries such as - healthcare, retail, finance and governmental sectors. The company operates with adaptive and passwordless authentication which is powered by AI-driven risk analysis. 

In September 2024, with the appointment of the main Chief Revenue Officer, the client aimed to revamp their sales operations. As the client was facing problems with the outdated systems and downsized teams, they partnered with PixelConsulting to optimize their MarTech and Salesforce ecosystems. 

Problem Identification

Upon engagement, PixelConsulting identified several critical challenges hindering the clients sales efficiency. It was evident that the client’s Salesforce instance did not receive any type of updates since the year 2018. With delayed updates within, the client had to face broken packages and a lack of automation for every day operations. Additionally, it was seen that the previous Salesforce Administer had left without any proper documentation that had caused the team to face various Apex errors which not only slowed the business operations but also disrupted the system functionality. 


Moreover, the client had faced problems with the structured lead flow from Marketo within Salesforce - this had caused the business to suffer from poor lead tracking, routing, scoring and overall optimization of the system. Additionally, leads were not being assigned based on the geographical territories causing a huge misalignment within sales leads and system optimizations.

Furthermore,  many of the third-party tools such as ZoomInfo, Qualified and 6Sense were outdated and were not integrated with Salesforce - resulting in limited sales intelligence and automations. 

Also, it was evident that the existing dashboards were outdated, cluttered and did not have the capacity to provide actionable insights affecting Salesforce user adoption and the decision-making of the internal teams and Sales Reps. The client was also facing issues with the manual tasks as there was no automation in place - increasing the workload on the already lean sales teams. 

PixelConsulting’s Problem Resolution Process

In order to address the challenges the client was facing, PixelConsulting had conducted and planned to implement a structured approach. After comprehensively auditing the existing setup of Salesforce - PixelConsulting identified many loopholes such as mentioned above - broken packages, lack of automation, dashboard optimization, territory management and lead flow only focusing on the key issues. By adopting an agile methodology, PixelConsulting implemented the solutions in phases, making sure that there is continuous feedback and iterative improvements. It was noted that all the changes will be well-documented and training was to be provided to the clients team to ensure seamless user adoption. 

Solutions Implemented

PixelConsulting implemented the following solutions to transform the sales operations:

  • Established a structured lead flow from Marketo to Salesforce, our team of experts ensured accurate tracking, routing of incoming leads and scoring by mapping the critical fields between both the platforms to maintain accuracy and data consistency.

  • Resolved twenty-nine critical Apex errors caused by outdated code and deactivated user accounts, systematically fixing each error to restore platform stability.

  • Defined and implemented territory rules we helped our client to assign leads by certain geographic regions by aligning the incoming leads to the appropriate sales reps and teams. A master list of SaaS accounts were also uploaded into Salesforce, being mapped to the appropriate territories.

Added optional features like the “Vanity Host Pack” and support packages to increase quoting flexibility. Implemented discounting rules and approval workflows to maintain pricing controls.

  • Integrated 6Sense, ZoomInfo, Consus Sales, and Qualified into Salesforce to enhance lead generation, account intelligence, and sales insights. Enabled auto-enrichment in 6Sense for daily account updates and made key reports available inside Salesforce for easy access.

  • Evaluated and selected calendaring tools for the sales team, initially choosing Calendly for its ease of use and integration with AEs’ Outlook calendars and Zoom. Later transitioned to Qualified as the preferred calendaring tool and fully integrated it into Salesforce.

  • Created automated flows in Salesforce to notify sales reps when leads performed high-value actions or when contacts at open opportunities engaged with marketing assets, enabling timely sales follow-ups.

  • Built comprehensive marketing dashboards in Salesforce to track the full journey from lead generation to closed-won deals, incorporating digital performance metrics and funnel visualization tiles.

  • Updated and enhanced sales dashboards (Metrics 1, 2, and 6) based on RevOps audit findings and feedback. Added new reports, fields, and filters to reflect current performance goals. Renamed and reorganized dashboards for improved clarity and usability 
  • Updated the old workflows and created new automations in the system to ensure that the  internal business users have the correct access. We also created and added a new field to the page layout for better clarity on the objects. The CRO was given manager-level access so he can view AE-related data and fields.
