Historically, Cloud Kicks (CK) has been a B2C company.

When shifting from a B2C to a B2B model, focusing on Lead Processes is critical for several reasons:

Sales Processes and Lead Management: The transition requires adapting Salesforce configurations to support B2B sales cycles, which typically involve different stages and attributes compared to B2C. Salesforce documentation highlights the importance of customizing lead processes to reflect the sales funnel accurately for business customers.

Alignment with B2B Practices: Salesforce's Sales Cloud features for B2B businesses, such as managing accounts and contacts hierarchies, work seamlessly with lead processes. It’s crucial to ensure that the lead qualification, assignment, and conversion processes align with B2B practices.

Person Accounts Relevance: While person accounts might be relevant for B2C setups, the B2B model operates with organizational hierarchies that are better served through traditional account and contact structures. Therefore, the initial focus on lead processes ensures a proper setup for downstream configurations.

By prioritizing lead processes, the business analyst ensures a robust foundation for supporting B2B sales operations in Salesforce.
