   Salesforce is a powerful customer relationship management (CRM) platform, and I have been using it for business for several months now. Overall, I am pleased with the functionality and capabilities it provides.

   Pros: 1. Full customization - Salesforce allows you to adapt the system to any business needs. There are a huge number of customization tools, which makes it universal for different industries. 2. Powerful analytical tools - The platform provides excellent analytics and reporting capabilities. You can easily track the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, analyze customer behavior and build forecasts. 3. Interface - Despite the huge number of functions, the interface is quite intuitive and does not cause difficulties in mastering. Configuration and data management are easy to organize. 4. Integrations - Salesforce supports many integrations with other services and platforms, which simplifies work and allows you to use it in conjunction with other business solutions.

   Cons: 1. High cost - Salesforce can be expensive for small companies. The subscription price, plus additional costs for customization and support, can quickly become significant. 2. Steep learning curve — The sheer amount of functionality can make it difficult for newcomers to get their head around the platform. It takes time to master all of the features. 3. Sometimes feature-heavy — For smaller businesses, some of the features in Salesforce can be redundant and not always necessary. This can cause confusion as you work.

   Overall, Salesforce is a great platform for larger organizations and businesses that need to effectively manage customer data and automate processes. However, for smaller businesses, the cost and complexity can be a barrier. However, if your business is growing, Salesforce is a powerful tool for growth and scaling.

   Shopify - the best no code platform.

   Creating my online store for small dog products on Shopify was a remarkably smooth and rewarding experience. Shopify's user-friendly platform guided me through each step of the setup process, making it easy even for someone without prior experience. Their range of customizable templates gave my store a professional and appealing look, and the analytics tools provided have been invaluable for tracking my store's performance and customer trends. Additionally, Shopify's 24/7 customer support was always ready to assist whenever I encountered any roadblocks. Overall, launching my business on Shopify has been a positive experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to start their own online store.

   Strong Option for New DIY Stores Serving Consumers

   Shopify is a powerful marketing machine that has driven incredible growth. It's an excellent choice for the store owner who needs to do it themselves, on a shoestring budget, who does not sell complex products and who does not plan to run a hybrid - a store that serves multiple customer bases such as retail and wholesale.

   Due to its sheer market share, there is a robust marketplace of apps that can be added to shape the store to fit most needs. There is an equally robust selection of themes and developers who can assist with any size project. They have a terrific knowledge base which I strongly recommend store owners use as it teaches the basics for e-commerce in general and online marketing. This learning should be done prior to developing a plan for your site. That will help root your project for success.

   Unfortunately, it's also oversold based on name recognition even when the platform is a poor choice for a specific business. There are both policy and technical limitations that impact suitability.

   Shopify stores require many apps, which adds monthly costs and can greatly slow your store down. While ALL online stores end up with some app use, because this allows you to choose the features you want and need, much of what is native in other carts like their most direct competitor, BigCommerce, is not. So you'll spend more money each month and it can be harder to get a fast site.

   Among the stores that should probably NOT use Shopify: - Sells items that are generally prohibited on the platform which includes weapons, weapon-related items, sex objects, tobacco (for some odd reason Vape is currently on the platform but for how long is anyone's guess), alcohol.
   - Sells items allowed but that don't qualify for Shopify Payments which expands the above list to include supplements, CBD, vape products and other items. - Just as above, any store that can't qualify for Shopify Payments or who has good reasons to use another payment gateway. Why? Because if you don't use their payment gateway which they profit from, they will take 1/2-2% of your gross revenues soley because you are using another gateway. For small merchants, this isn't much, for big ones it's a significant cost. - Stores with multiple price structures or catalogs - such as those who offer VIP tiers or wholesale clients. Why not? Because you can't create true customer groups which on other platforms let you segment the catalog and content for each customer group. Groups are really important for B2B. To accomplish multiple audiences on Shopify requires either a separate app (at an added cost) or multiple storefronts, or ShopifyPlus (which is still creating multiple sites). This can greatly increase your operational costs and work efforts. - Stores with complex products - these are items with many options, also known as configurable or customizable products. While Shopify does offer the ability to offer up to 3 options per product with a maximum of 100 skus per product, this limit is very easy to exceed. There is also no native path to add modifiers such as those one would use for personalized products (like custom embroidery. While these issues can be overcome with apps, that adds both load time and costs.

• MyDMV Portal has a really suspicious address.

  Maybe I'm just paranoid, but this thing screams "phishing link" to me. Why is this not a subdomain of flhmsv.gov ? Why is it a dot com?? I'd heard things about there being malicious links inserted into legit websites through either a hack or browser malware. Just going to force.com also redirects to salesforce.com , which... doesn't answer any questions at all. Is it just... Like this, or is there something... Source: almost 2 years ago

  Hello! I'm aware that Tableau can capture email activity with EAC. However, I'm looking to add a report within a Salesforce Dashboard. I've attempted to create a report on email messages following the resource on Salesforce.com. But, the results were minimal (657 all-time emails? Since 2017.) For clarity, not for List Emails, just 1-1 sent through Salesforce. Source: about 2 years ago

• Freelance design contract offer - Regarding the "ownership of work product" - what is really owned? (What are your thoughts on this contract section?)

  It is a fintech company so I do not expect them to, for example, profit much from selling clothes, or posters with my work on it. However, they are interested in the style of branding, illustration and general design of this website https://salesforce.com/ which uses a lot of colourful and playful imagery / illustrations.

• Confused on Sales Tax

  If the shipping and sales tax scares you, it may be better to sell through Etsy since it is a marketplace facilitator and is required to collect sales tax from customers when purchasing your items that are sold. People go to Etsy to find something, not sgalv02.com to find your items. I believe Shopify will help you create a site to sell on, but people don't go to shopify.com to purchase various items like they do... Source: almost 2 years ago
