Our Lightning-QuickStart program offers a package of implementation services
at a significantly discounted price. A Lightning-QuickStart contains all the elements you need to get up and successfully running in Salesforce in a short period
of time at a reasonable cost.
If your requirements can be met with the components included in a Lightning-QuickStart, then you have the opportunity to get a jump on the implementation process and save some money at the same time. (If your requirements are more complex, then you may wish to investigate our Full Implementations.)
We offer Lightning-QuickStarts for Professional, Enterprise, and Unlimited Editions of Salesforce. Please be aware that, because of limitations inherent in the Salesforce Essentionals Edition, some features of the Lightning-QuickStart are not available for the Essentials Edition. Please contact us for the specifics.
A free initial one-hour consultation will help you determine if a Lightning-QuickStart is right for your organization.
No Charge
An initial project kickoff meeting, including all the major client stakeholders, to discuss and agree on the project elements, their timing, and to identify points of contact for each phase of the project. The meeting will include a 30-minute presentation by ACL Consulting about Salesforce features and terminology.
1 Hour
Discovery meetings to understand your business, its processes and how Salesforce can model and support your requirements. These meetings will also determine the performance metrics and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) that will drive the creation of your reports. Project schedules will also be finalized at the Discovery meetings.
ACL Consulting reviews the information from these meetings and creates plans delivered to you for the remainder of the project.
7 Hours
Initial setup of your Salesforce org is performed including the following elements:
6 Hours
Determine which users can see which data by setting the Organization Wide Defaults and CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) permissions for the Lead, Account, Contact, Opportunity, Task, and Event objects for each Profile in use (Standard and System Administrator). Set up Roles and User Hierarchy.
2 Hours
Import data to the Lead, Contact, Account objects from clean CSV (Comma Separated Value) files supplied by the client. If data is to be loaded into the Contact and Account objects, there must be appropriate linking values in the CSV files provided.
You are responsible the elimination of any duplicate records in your data.
Note that data import into Tasks, Events, and Opportunities is not included, nor is the loading of Attachments, nor is creation of CSV files from the client's old CRM or database system.
For an additional cost, export of data from an ACT! database can be added to the Lightning-QuickStart. In addition, import of data into the Salesforce Task and/or Event object and Attachment import can be added as a project option. (Please note that Attachment import from a non-ACT! database has certain requirements and constraints that must be discussed in advance with us.)
4 Hours
Six hours of online standard user and administrator training (using GoToMeeting) to include an initial two-hour end user (sales team) training session for up to 10 users plus a follow-up two-hour training session for those users. In addition there will be a two-hour training session for System Administrators. A list of the topics covered will be provided in advance.
Each training class includes written documentation of the content covered plus a recording of the class session.

The following elements can be optionally added to a Lightning-QuickStart package:
Pricing for the above optional services will be provided upon request, and may vary depending on the specific needs and requirements of the client.
A Lightning-QuickStart can be completed in as little as three weeks (if your
management and staff are engaged, committed, and willing to make their migration to
Salesforce their top priority). More typically a Lightning-QuickStart project is completed in approximately six weeks.
We believe that good planning is crucial for success with Salesforce. As we explore your business processed and needs, and as you begin to fully understand the functioning and capabilities of Salesforce, you will need time to consider the many decisions to be made, without being rushed to decide in an artificially (and unreasonably) brief timeline.
While everyone wants to be up and running instantly, returning value on your investment in Salesforce requires good planning and considered decision-making. This effort will pay big dividends long-term.
A Lightning-QuickStart includes 30 hours of consulting and development time
by ACL Consulting. If we are able to complete the tasks included in the Lightning-QuickStart in fewer than 30 hours, the remainder will be banked to you, for use
in support or future consulting or development projects

Fifty percent of the cost of the Lightning-QuickStart ($1500) is due upon project initiation. The remaining fifty percent is due within five business days after completion of the items included in your Lightning-QuickStart Package.
