Discuss Salesforce Salesforce Certified Education Cloud Consultant (ED-Con-101) Exam Topic 3 Question 117

The Advancement office wants to replace its legacy system with Salesforce and has hired a consultant to help build a CRM strategy.

Which recommendation should the consultant make to meet this requirement?

AImplement Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP).

BStart solution design during a discovery session.

CPrioritize the organization's initiatives.

Suggested Answer: C

A CRM strategy is a plan that outlines how an organization will use Salesforce to achieve its goals and objectives. A consultant should recommend prioritizing the organization's initiatives as part of the CRM strategy, as this will help align the Salesforce solution with the most important and urgent needs of the Advancement office, such as fundraising, donor engagement, alumni relations, etc.Prioritizing the initiatives will also help define the scope, timeline, and budget of the project, as well as the key stakeholders, success metrics, and risks involved2. Implementing Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) is a possible solution option, but not a recommendation for the CRM strategy. Starting solution design during a discovery session is a project management best practice, but not a recommendation for the CRM strategy.
