Choosing the best consulting company for your Salesforce project *in 3 simple steps*

(Inspired by George Gammon’s style of teaching macroeconomics in 3 simple steps in his YouTube videos)

STEP #1

Go to the AppExchange and click the Consultants tab:

https://appexchange.salesforce.com/consulting

STEP #2

On the left side Filters: 

• select your Country

• uncheck all Ratings except 5 stars

• uncheck Global Strategic (*)

• click Apply Filters

STEP #3

On the top right side Sorting options:

click to Sort by Rating – important!

Now you have a good list of consulting companies to contact.

BONUS STEP

Open the page for each of the best rated consulting companies, click the Expertise tab and look for “Architect Certifications” and “Developer Certifications“. 

At this 5-Star Rating level, the majority of consulting companies have people certified as Admin, Consultant and Marketing so the greatest distinction is having people certified as Architects and Developers – they are harder to hire and have passed the hardest exams. 

Those are people who invested more time and effort acquiring expertise in the platform.

(*) This article is considering small, medium, nationwide businesses and medium-sized departments/divisions. 

The goal is to not spend a lot of time contacting a number of consulting companies who might not be as nimble. 

If you leave Global Strategic checked, you will be dealing with big consulting companies and will likely have higher costs and lengthier projects.
