Sales-Cloud-Consultant Practice Test

teams need visibility on the number of retail locations associated with leads and customers, mapping a custom field from the Lead object to the Account object during lead conversion is the best solution. This approach ensures that the retail location information is carried over from the lead to the account once the lead is converted. This aligns with Salesforce's recommended practice for managing lead conversion and preserving critical data. Here's how it works:
Custom Field Mapping: In Salesforce, custom fields on the Lead object can be mapped to custom fields on the Account, Contact, or Opportunity objects. When a lead is converted, the data in these fields will automatically transfer to the corresponding custom fields in the resulting records.
Data Consistency Across Objects: By mapping the custom field from Lead to Account, the sales and service teams will have a consistent view of the retail locations both during the lead phase and after conversion to a customer account. Visibility and Access: Since both the sales and service teams need access to this data, mapping the field ensures that it remains available and visible on the Account object, where it can be referenced in account-related activities and service cases.
In this scenario, Option A would require creating a new custom object and building additional relationships, which may complicate the data model unnecessarily. Option C, using roll-up summary fields, is not applicable here, as roll-up summaries are typically used for parent-child relationships on related records and not for field mapping during lead conversion.
For more information on lead conversion and custom field mapping, refer to Salesforce’s official documentation on Mapping Custom Lead Fields for Lead Conversion. This document outlines how custom field mapping functions during lead conversion, allowing for seamless data transfer to maintain information continuity between lead and account records.

Explanation: In Salesforce, when a custom formula field is created on an Opportunity, the formula uses the Opportunity's currency for calculations. This is particularly important in organizations using multiple currencies, as it ensures that calculations remain consistent with the record on which the formula is defined. Therefore, the formula field will display the value in the Opportunity’s currency, regardless of the Account’s currency.

Explanation: When implementing Sales Cloud, ensuring adoption is crucial for maximizing its effectiveness and the return on investment. Establishing clear goals and key metrics is one of the most effective strategies to encourage user adoption.
Goals and key metrics provide measurable outcomes that can motivate the sales team by showing them how their activities align with organizational objectives. They also help track adoption progress, enabling management to make data-driven adjustments and identify areas needing further support. Salesforce recommends setting specific adoption goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure success. This aligns with best practices for encouraging user adoption and ensures that the sales team understands how their efforts contribute to achieving broader company goals.
For more details, Salesforce's official resources on user adoption strategies emphasize the importance of establishing goals and tracking KPIs as a foundational step to encourage adoption. The Sales Cloud Implementation Guide also provides detailed insights into how these strategies support sustained user engagement and productivity.

Explanation: In Salesforce, when contacts are created without being associated with an account, they are referred to as "Private Contacts." Private Contacts are visible only to the record owner and system administrators, and they do not inherit sharing settings from accounts because they aren’t linked to any. Since these contacts are not associated with accounts, they remain isolated from standard sharing rules or role hierarchies, emphasizing that only the owner and admin can view them.

Explanation: To track and measure the health of an account by monitoring email exchanges, Einstein Activity Capture is the recommended tool. It automatically logs emails and meetings from a rep's email and calendar directly into Salesforce, providing insights into customer engagement without manual data entry.
Automatic Data Capture: Einstein Activity Capture captures email interactions in real-time, providing an accurate and ongoing measure of account activity levels. Insights into Account Health: By analyzing the volume of interactions captured each month, Cloud Kicks can assess engagement levels and proactively manage account relationships.
Option A (Salesforce Inbox) enhances email productivity but does not provide automated data capture for analysis, and Option B (Activity Report) requires manual logging of data for it to be effective. For more on Einstein Activity Capture, see Salesforce Einstein Activity Capture documentation.
