Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why pick Salesforce for a CRM? Why not Blackbaud or another option?

    Salesforce stands out as a leading CRM due to its versatility, scalability, and robust ecosystem. Unlike others in the market, it plays nice with others – a must for nonprofits and grantmaking foundations in the digital age. We firmly believe in the power of a platform you can build business processes on top of — not rigid software that forces you to fit its structure — for building future-proof organizations. A conversation to discuss your requirements and current pain points will help you better understand if Salesforce is the right fit for you.

  • Are you able to manage our external systems as well?

    Yes! Our team is capable with system integrations and able to help you determine which systems will work, and which won’t. We are fluent in:

    • Digital fundraising: Engaging Networks, FundraiseUp, Classy, Evergiving
    • Offline fundraising: integrations with third party vendors, including face-to-face, telemarketing, and caging vendors
    • Marketing: Hubspot, MailChimp, Mobile Commons
    • Finance: Sage, Quickbooks, UBW, NetSuite
    • Many custom integrations built using iPaaS platforms like Mulesoft and Boomi

    Among others. We are happy to work with you to determine which systems will best suit your needs.

  • Can I hire you to consult on strategy and then implement the solution with our in-house resources?

    Depending on your resources, maybe. In our experience, Salesforce requires an experienced salesforce partner because its potential is vast and complex. We liken it to a LEGO® set that comes without instructions; you need a guide — Purple Otter — to bring it to life.

  • Who will work on our project? I hate getting passed off to junior associates.

    Our bench strength is deep; filled with senior-level consultants and architects. With Purple Otter as your Salesforce partner, we don’t pass you off to a junior associate. You will work with one of our senior experts from start-to-finish, with clear, consistent communication.

  • My team knows what they need — how involved will they be?

    We believe in collaboration and working with the team you have — that’s who will be using Salesforce! We look forward to working with your team, empowering and engaging all stakeholders throughout the process.

  • Can we include our in-house resources in the process?

    Yes. Our most exciting projects have involved innovative partnerships with in-house product teams. We are happy to adjust our roles and resourcing to the team you have in place, supercharging your internal capacity with our plug-and-play innovation support model.
