Guide
What Salesforce is for and what it isn't
Salesforce is primarily a CRM platform: sales, customer service, and marketing run through the Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud modules. For companies whose central challenge lies in the sales process or customer contact, it's one of the most mature solutions on the market, with a large ecosystem of extensions through the AppExchange. If you're looking for a full ERP system with production, inventory, and accounting instead, Salesforce is the wrong address: the platform doesn't cover those areas and can only connect to them through add-on systems or integrations. For smaller teams with simpler needs, HubSpot can also be the cheaper, faster-to-implement alternative.
What the Salesforce partner tier means
Salesforce tiers its partner program by revenue, certifications, and customer satisfaction. A high tier shows business weight but not automatically experience with your industry or company size. More telling are the individual Trailhead certifications the consultants hold, such as Certified Administrator or Platform Developer, and concrete case studies of comparable size. Also ask how many certified people are employed full-time rather than brought in project by project through subcontractors, since the share of freelancers in the Salesforce market is high.
It's also worth checking the AppExchange ecosystem: for many standard requirements, such as document generation or contract management, ready-made extensions exist that cost less than building something from scratch. A good agency checks, before any custom project, whether a vetted extension doesn't already cover the requirement.
Standard configuration or Apex development
A large share of Salesforce customization can now be done without code, through Flow Builder and point-and-click configuration, which makes projects faster and lower-maintenance. Apex development and Lightning component programming only come into play for complex business logic, deep integrations, or specialized user interfaces. A good agency checks before the proposal whether a requirement actually needs code or can be solved with built-in tools, since every extra line of code adds work at each of Salesforce's three major releases a year, which need to be regularly checked for compatibility.
What a Salesforce implementation costs
A lean Sales Cloud implementation for a smaller sales team costs €15,000 to €40,000. For mid-sized companies with several cloud modules and integrations, €50,000 to €200,000 is realistic. On top come ongoing license costs per user and month, which vary considerably by edition and module. Salesforce consultants charge €120 to €200 per hour, with pure administration work tending toward the lower end of that range.

Frequently asked questions
Salesforce agencies: questions and answers
What does a Salesforce implementation cost?
A lean implementation for a small sales team costs €15,000 to €40,000, and an implementation for mid-sized companies with several modules €50,000 to €200,000. Consultants charge €120 to €200 per hour, plus ongoing license costs per user.
Do I need a certified Salesforce partner?
Not formally necessary, but nearly always worthwhile: certified consultants know current features, license models, and typical integration pitfalls. Focus less on the agency's partner tier and more on the individual Trailhead certifications of the people actually working on your project.
What do Salesforce's three yearly releases mean for my project?
Salesforce automatically rolls the Spring, Summer, and Winter releases into your environment. Custom changes, especially via Apex code, should be tested in a sandbox before each release so nothing breaks unnoticed. Pure standard configuration is usually unaffected by the updates.
Is Salesforce enough on its own, or do I also need an ERP?
For sales and customer service, Salesforce alone is usually enough. Once production, inventory, or accounting enter the picture, you need an additional ERP system connected through an interface. Check early on how stable and low-maintenance that integration is designed to be.
How long does a Salesforce implementation take?
A simple Sales Cloud implementation goes live after four to eight weeks. Projects with several modules and integrations into existing systems take three to six months. Ongoing expansion after go-live is the rule rather than the exception with Salesforce.
