Why Duplicate Data Is a Problem | Salesforce Guide

In the event that you follow the Optimize Sales Features for Lightning Experience trail, you know the Salesforce administrator, Maria Jimenez, at Ursa Major. She endeavours to help her outreach groups work productively and sell viably. Yet, the organization's team lead, Lincoln, imparted to Maria a continuous issue connected with the nature of the information that his agents work with.

At times, his reps incidentally call leads and contacts that different reps own. Copy records create problems for his groups since his reps frequently don't realize that the copies are drifting out there. That is bad, in light of the fact that through web-based media, Lincoln discovered that a couple of Ursa Major's possibilities and clients gave his organization negative criticism. A portion of the remarks says that Ursa Major:

Burns through possibilities' and clients' time.

Has various reps calling similar possibilities and clients, which appears to be excessively forceful.

Seems complicated.

The piece about Ursa Major seeming disrupted is significant. Since when clients feel that the organization isn't following its business, they can likewise stress that their own advantages can endure. The agents at Ursa Major have no expectation of disturbing possibilities and clients. Be that as it may, it's not difficult to perceive how the organization's notoriety is in question.

Copying information likewise influences administrators, including you. That is on the grounds that copy records cause outreach groups to lose trust in their CRM framework. The last thing you need is for your groups to scrutinize the legitimacy of the information they depend on.

Luckily, Maria has thoughts regarding how she can assist with further developing Ursa Major's standing and reestablish salespeople's confidence in Salesforce. She discloses to Lincoln that hailing records that are potential copies can save his reps time and keep them from botching significant deals and valuable open doors. Reps actually approach every one of their possibilities' and clients' applicable subtleties. But since they are aware of a likely copy record, they can be certain that they're catching information in the right record.

Benefits of Duplicate-Free Data

At the point when your salesmen work with copy free information, there's no speculation concerning whether an associate is as of now qualifying a similar possibility. Likewise, your reps can rely on having all data in a single contact record, rather than chasing after more subtleties in a copy record.

Copy Management Tools for Salesforce

We've covered a portion of the issues that copy information makes for your organization. Salesforce helps your reps handle the copy records from any gadget. What's more, we give you choices to forestall or deter your agents from making more copy records with Duplicate Management. It's accessible to and for nothing for Professional, Enterprise, and Unlimited releases.

Recognizing Duplicate Records and How to Handle Them

Maria intends to work intimately with Lincoln to conclude how they need Salesforce to recognize copy records and regardless of whether to permit or forestall copies. In the first place, she gets to know two things that are significant for controlling copy records in Salesforce.

• What It Is
• What It Defines
• Matching guideline

The matching models to recognize copy records.

Salesforce accompanies three standard matching guidelines: one for business accounts; one for contacts and leads, and one more for individual records. Making other matching standards is a snap. We show you how Maria does it in the following unit.

Copy rule

• At the point when Salesforce draws in matching standards and decides moves to make as it experiences copies.
• Contingent upon how you design Duplicate Management, salespeople see that they're going to make a copy. Or on the other hand, your reps are obstructed from making the copy out and out.

• Assuming your organization began involving Salesforce in Spring '15 or later, we give you standard copy rules for business accounts, contacts, leads, and individual records. Assuming that your organization began involving Salesforce in Winter '15 or prior, similar to Maria, you make the principles all alone, which is simple.

You oversee matching standards and copy rules from Setup.

How Duplicate Management Works

We should see what happens when one of our Ursa Major salesmen, Erin, makes a contact in Salesforce.

Erin makes the contact, and Salesforce searches for potential copies (1). In light of the standards in a matching guideline that Maria set up before, Salesforce gives a rundown of potential copies (2).

The copy rule decides Erin's choices. The standard can hinder Erin from making the record or allow her to make it and show a ready (3). Assuming she makes the contact, the standard can even add the expected copy to a report for her supervisor, Lincoln, to see.

For this situation, the standard copy rule alarms Erin of the expected copy. She has the decision to go to the contact that is as of now in Salesforce, or keep making the record, despite the fact that it's a possible copy.
