Small Business
Salesforce Built for Growing Teams
Enterprise-grade CRM does not have to mean enterprise-grade complexity. We build Salesforce setups that fit a team of 5 to 50 people: clean, practical, and ready to scale when you are.
Book a Free Discovery CallWhat a Small Business Implementation Includes
We scope this to what you actually need right now, not what a 500-person enterprise needs. Everything below is included in our standard small business package.
Pipeline configuration
4 to 6 stages mapped to your actual sales process, with mandatory fields at each stage to keep data clean.
Lead and contact import
We clean, deduplicate, and import your existing contact list. No migrating the mess from your spreadsheets.
Core automations
Lead routing, follow-up task creation, stalled deal alerts, and rep activity reminders. Three to five automations that save meaningful time from week one.
Email integration
Outlook or Gmail sync so reps log communication without a second thought.
Sales manager dashboard
Pipeline by stage, deals closing this month, and lead source performance. Ready on go-live day.
Role-based training
Separate sessions for reps and managers. Recorded for new hires. Reference guides included.
30-day hypercare support
We stay close for the first 30 days to answer questions and fix anything that surfaces during real-world use.
Documentation
Written documentation of everything we built: field descriptions, automation logic, and the security model.
What We Deliberately Leave Out at the Start
These features add cost and complexity without adding value for most small teams. We leave them out by default and add them when your business is ready.
Territory management (until you have actual territory splits)
Multi-currency support (until you are selling internationally)
Forecasting categories (overkill for teams without layered management)
Custom Apex development (declarative tools handle 95% of small business needs)
Complex approval chains (a Chatter mention works fine at this stage)
Multiple Salesforce clouds (Sales Cloud is enough to start)

Questions We Hear Often
Is Salesforce a good fit for a small business?
Yes, for teams that are serious about their sales process. If you are managing more than 5 active reps and growing, the structure and automation Salesforce provides pays for itself quickly. If you have 2 reps and a short sales cycle, a simpler tool might serve you better right now.
How much does a small business Salesforce setup cost?
For a team under 20 users, expect $8,000 to $20,000 for implementation consulting, plus platform licensing starting at $100 per user per month for Sales Cloud Pro Suite. We can put together a fixed-fee estimate after a 30-minute discovery call.
How long does a small business implementation take?
A focused small business implementation typically takes 4 to 7 weeks from discovery to go-live. The timeline is shorter because the scope is tighter: standard pipeline, core automations, clean data import, and targeted training.
Do we need a full-time Salesforce admin after go-live?
Not necessarily. For a small team with a simple setup, a designated internal superuser (someone who owns the CRM part-time) combined with a monthly retainer for more complex requests works well. We can handle admin tasks on a retainer basis.
What if we outgrow the initial setup?
That is the goal. We build the initial setup with growth in mind: clean architecture, no shortcuts, and documentation of what was built. Adding new features, users, or integrations later is straightforward when the foundation is done right.
Let us scope a setup that fits your team
A 45-minute discovery call is enough to understand what you need and give you an honest estimate. No obligation, no sales pressure.
