For a large, global rollout, conducting Train-the-Trainer sessions is the most effective approach. Here’s why:

Scalability and Localization: Train-the-Trainer sessions prepare local trainers who can then provide tailored training to their respective regions. This approach ensures that training is scalable and adaptable to the specific needs of each location.

Global Consistency: By training designated trainers, CK can ensure consistency in the information being conveyed while allowing for localization of the training material where needed.

Salesforce Best Practices: For large, distributed organizations, Salesforce recommends the Train-the-Trainer model to ensure broad coverage and effective communication across global teams.

References: Salesforce’s documentation on User Training and Change Management describes the Train-the-Trainer model as a recommended strategy for large-scale implementations.

In summary, conducting Train-the-Trainer sessions (Option B) is the best approach to ensure effective training across CK's global organization.

When cloning an order with products, Salesforce enforces guidelines to ensure the cloned order’s dates are valid relative to the contract it is associated with. Specifically, the cloned order’s start date must be within the contract’s start and end dates. This ensures that the cloned order remains aligned with the terms of the contract and is valid for fulfillment under the existing contract constraints. This rule maintains consistency and accuracy in order and contract management.

To monitor pipeline and track team revenue to goal, using Opportunities with Salesforce Forecasts is the best approach. Opportunities enable tracking of individual deals, while Forecasts provide a consolidated view of expected revenue, allowing sales managers to view progress toward goals by rep, team, or other criteria. This configuration supports both pipeline monitoring and revenue goal tracking, which aligns with CK’s requirements.

While Opportunity Teams and Opportunity Splits are useful for revenue sharing and tracking contributions on specific deals, they do not offer the comprehensive goal-tracking functionality that Forecasts provide. Creating reports on closed Opportunities is helpful but lacks the real-time forecasting capabilities required.

In Salesforce Territory Management, the Planning State allows users to view and modify territory structures and assignment rules before implementing changes. By running the updated assignment rules in this state, Sales Operations can preview how accounts will be allocated within new territory structures. This Planning State feature is specifically designed to enable users to assess the impact of changes on account assignments, ensuring accuracy before activating the changes.

Utilizing the Planning State is a best practice because it provides a detailed preview of account distributions, helping Sales Operations make informed decisions and validate territory assignments. Once satisfied, the model can then be published to reflect these changes in the active territory model without directly affecting the live data until ready. This approach provides a controlled environment to validate changes and ensures smooth transitions for complex territory adjustments​
