Salesforce CRM
What Is Salesforce? Salesforce is your customer success platform, designed to help you sell, service,
market, analyze, and connect with your customers.
What Is CRM? CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management. This technology allows you to
manage relationships with your customers and prospects and track data related to all of your
interactions.
How Salesforce Organizes Your Data? Salesforce organizes your data into objects and records. You can
think of objects like a tab on a spreadsheet, and a record like a single row of data.
Record An item you are tracking in your database; if your data is like a spreadsheet, then a
record is a row on the spreadsheet
Field A place where you store a value, like a name or address; using our spreadsheet
example, a field would be a column on the spreadsheet
Object A table in the database; in that spreadsheet example, an object is a tab on the
spreadsheet
Org Short for “organization,” the place where all your data, configuration, and customization
lives. You and your users log in to access it. You might also hear this called “your instance of
Salesforce”
App A set of fields, objects, permissions, and functionality to support a business process
Salesforce Standard and Custom Objects? Here are some of the core standard objects, and a
description of how each one is used.
Note: When you convert the Lead, you create an Account and Contact along with the Opportunity.
Custom Object? Essentially, you’d make a form that the sales manager could fill out to request work,
and each time a form is filled out, a record is created and stored in Salesforce. But instead of storing that
record on a standard object, it’s stored on a custom object you’ve created, called “Projects.”
Now you understand the basics of Salesforce and the object model. But how do your sales reps actually
work with Leads, Opportunities, Contacts, and Accounts? They need a productive interface to help them
close more deals faster. And that’s where Lightning Experience comes in.
