Salesforce allows designation of individuals in your organization as solution managers. Typically, these people are product experts and are particularly gifted with communication skills and knowledgeable about products. In Salesforce solutions application, the administrator assigns these people to the Solution Manager Profile section of the Salesforce program.
What Are Solutions For?
Solutions are used to identify and solve customer issues. With the Salesforce system, issues can be categorized and solutions for them can be identified quickly. This is done by looking into existing knowledge and providing answers to customer issues that had been previously attended to and resolved. This can help in increasing productivity and customer satisfaction.
