Still on Salesforce Classic? It’s OK. We understand.
According to Salesforce, Lightning is “a quantum leap forward in functionality, usability, and speed for every user including admins, developers, and executives.” Making the move to Lightning isn’t as easy as the flip of a switch, but it’s becoming more and more necessary with each Salesforce release. Sales Path, Assistant, Kanban, and Einstein Lead Scoring are a few of the features Classic users could be missing out on.
Don’t be left behind. Even if you’re not making the move tomorrow, start educating yourself so when the time is right, you will be able to lead your team through the conversation with knowledge and authority.
