I really enjoy this time of year as a Salesforce Admin. We are coming off of Dreamforce and for the most part, it’s kind of quiet on the user side. With departments busy trying to end the year successfully and many people taking time off it’s usually not the best time to roll out new features. So I like to take this time to get myself ready for a successful new year. And for me, every new year starts with a refocus on Salesforce adoption!
To help you get started on a successful new year I wanted to put together three resources to help you drive massive adoption in your Salesforce orgs.

What if you could increase Salesforce adoption by simply making it easier for reps to use Salesforce and sell?

Salesforce Optimizer is THE maintenance, productivity, and adoption app for Salesforce Admins! For Admins who are nearing the limits of their edition, or have no idea if they are, or have users complaining about there being too many fields… or just don’t know where to start when it comes to cleanup, maintenance, and optimization, Salesforce Optimizer can help.

Fewer fields, cleaner page layouts, and insight into org usage will enable you to increase adoption.
Optimizer evaluates your implementation to determine how your company uses certain Salesforce features, then identifies ways that you can improve your implementation for your company. It is the fastest and most effective way to get insights into your org coupled with actionable recommendations and best practices so Admins can:
In Winter ‘18, Salesforce began to phase out the Classic Notes & Attachments related lists in favor of feature-rich Lightning Files and Enhanced Notes. Lightning Files and Enhanced Notes support previews, versioning, external sharing, and are the standard for Lightning Experience. In this session, you will learn to enable these features for your users, understand migration options for Classic Notes & Attachments, and explore workarounds to preserve shared files when Accounts, Contacts, and Leads get merged.

It’s going to be an exciting month filled with incredible insights from Admins who are sharing their stories and expeirences to help you be successful!
When we talk about adoption and Salesforce implementations, we often talk about Carrots and Sticks.
