Signs Your Salesforce Org Needs a Health Check

Salesforce is supposed to be your business growth engine—not a source of confusion, inefficiency, or lost revenue. But if your Salesforce org isn’t actively driving pipeline, productivity, and customer satisfaction, it may be doing more harm than good.

At Emorphis Technologies, we’ve worked with businesses across industries that came to us when their Salesforce implementation just wasn’t working the way it should. The good news? Most issues are fixable. And it starts with recognizing the symptoms.

Here’s how to spot if your Salesforce org is costing you money—and exactly what to fix first.

1. Leads Are Coming In… But Sales Can’t Follow Up Fast Enough

Problem: Marketing generates leads, but there’s no automated routing. Reps pick them manually or miss them entirely.

Impact: Slower follow-up means colder leads, missed deals, and frustrated sales reps.

Fix: A Salesforce health check can assess your lead assignment rules, routing logic, and queue structures to ensure every lead is followed up—fast.

2. Your Sales Forecast Is Always Off

Problem: Opportunity stages are outdated, pipeline values are inflated, and reps don’t update Salesforce regularly.

Impact: Leadership can’t trust the numbers. You’re making key decisions based on bad data.

Fix: Evaluate stage usage, field compliance, and dashboard logic. Health checks often identify field clutter, unnecessary custom objects, or reporting filters gone wrong.

3. Sales and Marketing Are Constantly Out of Sync

Problem: Marketing can’t track lead outcomes. Sales can’t see campaign influence.

Impact: No feedback loop. Attribution suffers. Budget allocation becomes guesswork.

Fix: A health check ensures proper lead lifecycle management, campaign tracking, and closed-loop reporting, so both teams work from the same data.

4. Service Teams Are Repeating Work Instead of Resolving It

Problem: Reps are answering the same questions manually. No case auto-responses. No knowledge base integration.

Impact: Support teams are overloaded. Customers wait longer.

Fix: Health checks evaluate case automation, macros, quick texts, and knowledge article usage—speeding up time to resolution.

5. Users Don’t Trust Salesforce Anymore

Problem: Duplicate contacts, stale opportunities, and conflicting reports confuse.

Impact: Employees rely on spreadsheets or offline notes. CRM becomes a chore, not a tool.

Fix: Data audits during health checks eliminate duplicates, validate naming conventions, and restore user trust.

6. You’re Paying for Features You Don’t Use

Problem: You have licenses for Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, maybe even CPQ—but only use the basics.

Impact: Underutilized investment, missed productivity gains.

Fix: A health check identifies unused functionality and shows you where automation, templates, and AI tools can be leveraged immediately.

7. It Takes Too Long to Make Simple Changes

Problem: Even small tweaks—like adding a field or modifying a report—require weeks of dev work.

Impact: Slow innovation, frustrated admins, growing technical debt.

Fix: A health check includes a code review and technical architecture analysis to reduce over-customization and make your org more agile.

What a Salesforce Health Check Should Include

At Emorphis Technologies, our health check process includes:

  • Review of current configuration, customizations, and performance

  • Analysis of automation flows and user behaviour

  • Data quality scoring and clean-up plan

  • Integration review (ERP, marketing, support systems)

  • Optimization opportunities with real business outcomes

We don’t just diagnose—we deliver a prioritized action plan with fast wins and long-term improvements.
