What does Salesforce Sales Cloud do?
Sales Cloud is the world's leading CRM platform for managing leads, opportunities, accounts, and revenue forecasting. It centralises every customer touchpoint, automates pipeline management, and embeds Einstein AI to score leads, surface next-best actions, and forecast more accurately. Decision Foundry implements Sales Cloud for organisations that need it configured to their actual sales motion — not the out-of-the-box default.
What's included in Decision Foundry's Sales Cloud services?
Typical engagements include discovery and sales-process mapping, opportunity stage redesign, forecasting model configuration, lead routing & assignment rules, Einstein AI activation for scoring and forecasting, integration with Marketing Cloud and Data Cloud for full-funnel visibility, dashboards for sales leaders, and rep enablement. Scope flexes between a focused 8-week refresh and a multi-quarter transformation.
How is Sales Cloud different from Service Cloud or Marketing Cloud?
Sales Cloud is purpose-built for the sales motion — leads, opportunities, pipeline, forecasting, quotes. Service Cloud handles post-sale support — cases, knowledge base, omnichannel routing. Marketing Cloud handles outbound engagement — journeys, email, audience activation. The three share an underlying customer record but solve different jobs. Most enterprises run two or all three, and we frequently integrate them so a unified customer view flows through Marketing → Sales → Service handoffs.
How long does a Salesforce Sales Cloud implementation take?
A focused optimisation of an existing Sales Cloud instance typically takes 6–10 weeks. A full implementation from scratch for a mid-market sales org runs 3–4 months, while enterprise rollouts with multi-region requirements, complex integrations, and CPQ extend to 6–9 months. Every engagement opens with a discovery call where we scope timeline and investment to your specific environment, not a generic template.
What if we already have Sales Cloud but it's not working?
That's the most common engagement we see. Sales Cloud was probably implemented years ago against a sales motion you've outgrown — stages reps don't update, dashboards leadership doesn't trust, forecasting that swings every Friday. Our FDE engineers embed inside your sales ops, observe how the platform is actually used, and rebuild the configuration around your current motion. No rip-and-replace — we evolve what you have.
