Does this sound familiar?
You invested in Salesforce.
It should be making life easier.
If the workarounds have become the way of working, it’s time to look at what’s getting in the way.
01 /
People work around it
Spreadsheets, separate notes and duplicate updates feel easier than using the CRM.
02 /
The numbers don’t add up
Different reports tell different stories, and nobody is quite sure which one to trust.
03 /
Simple tasks take too long
Too many fields, too many clicks and manual steps that should have disappeared by now.
04 /
The business has moved on
Your processes have changed, but Salesforce still reflects the way things used to work.
You may not need to start again. The first step is understanding what is useful, what is missing and what can be made simpler.
Practical help, where you need it
Start with the problem.
Build the right solution.
A focused piece of work or a wider programme of improvements — we agree the scope around your priorities.
01 /
Review & prioritise
Understand what’s there before changing it.
Review your setup, talk to the people using it and identify the changes most likely to help. Agree a practical order of work.
02 /
Simplify processes
Make everyday work easier to complete.
Review fields, layouts and the steps people follow. Shape Salesforce around a clear process instead of asking people to navigate unnecessary complexity.
03 /
Improve data & reporting
Give your team numbers they can use.
Address the data behind your reports, clarify what you need to measure and create reporting that supports useful decisions.
04 /
Refine automation
Reduce repetition without adding confusion.
Review existing flows and manual hand-offs. Improve automation where it helps, and assess AI opportunities against a real use case and the quality of your data.
05 /
Support adoption
Help people feel confident using the system.
Provide role-based training, clear guidance and practical support. Listen to feedback so the system and the way people use it improve together.
06 /
Plan the next step
Make sensible decisions about what comes next.
Turn business needs into a clear scope, prioritise enhancements and help your team assess proposed changes before committing to them.
Experienced support. A human approach.
A useful outside perspective.
And someone who gets involved.
Estuary Connect brings 15 years of Salesforce experience across administration, consultancy, solution architecture and change management. That means looking at the business process and the people using it, as well as the configuration.
Based in Westcliff-on-Sea, supporting organisations across Southend, Essex and further afield. We’ll discuss the right mix of remote and in-person work for your organisation.
01 /
Listen before changing
Understand how the team works and what success would look like.
02 /
Make the reasoning clear
Explain the options, trade-offs and recommendations in plain English.
03 /
Leave people equipped
Make time for testing, documentation and handover, so changes are understood.
How we work together
A clear next step.
At every stage.
01

Tell us what is frustrating your team, what you want to improve and any deadlines you are working towards.
02
Agree the priorities
Review the relevant processes and setup, then agree the scope, approach and cost before the work starts.
03
Make & test the changes
Work through the agreed improvements, using an appropriate test environment and involving the people affected.
04
Help the changes stick
Provide the agreed training and handover, then review what has improved and what should happen next.
Who this is for
You don’t need a huge project
to ask for help.
This is a good starting point if your organisation already uses Salesforce and needs experienced support to make it more useful.
- Business leaders who need a clearer picture of customers, activity and performance.
- Teams struggling with adoption, data quality or time-consuming processes.
- In-house administrators who would value experienced support on priorities and improvements.
- Organisations planning changes and wanting a practical review before they commit.
Starting with Salesforce for the first time? We can discuss your requirements and whether the project is a good fit.
A few useful answers
Before we have a chat…
Can you improve our existing Salesforce setup?
Yes. We can start by reviewing the parts that are causing problems. The aim is to keep what works, understand the underlying issues and make targeted improvements. A rebuild is not the automatic answer.
Can you work alongside our existing administrator or partner?
Yes. We can agree a focused role alongside your internal team or existing provider, with clear responsibilities and handover. That might include reviewing requirements, improving processes or supporting adoption.
Do you offer training as well as configuration?
Yes. Training and user adoption can form part of the agreed work. Sessions and guidance should reflect the jobs people need to do, so they can put what they learn into practice.
Can you help with Salesforce automation and AI?
We can review existing automation and identify practical opportunities to reduce manual work. For AI, we start with the use case, data quality and access requirements, then assess suitability before recommending an approach. Any additional products or specialist requirements are discussed as part of scoping.
How much does Salesforce consultancy cost?
The cost depends on the scope, complexity and level of support required. An initial chat helps establish what you need. We then agree the approach and cost before chargeable work begins.
What should I bring to the first conversation?
A few examples of what is not working, the teams affected and what you would like to improve are enough. You do not need a polished brief or technical specification, and you do not need to send login details.
Let’s start with what isn’t working
What would you like
Salesforce to do better?
Bring the frustration, the question or the idea. We’ll help you work out a sensible next step.
