Intro

If you're in the market for Salesforce development services, you know there are many options out there. And while this abundance appears to be great news for those in need of an experienced team to build capabilities on the Salesforce platform, it can be overwhelming and littered with mixed quality offerings.
‍

But we're here to help. After carefully vetting and researching multiple development providers, we've created a list of the eight best Salesforce development services. We've taken into account each provider's experience level, previous customer base, certifications, customer satisfaction, and pricing to compile our list.
‍

Before we dive in, let’s take a look at the criteria you should consider when choosing a Salesforce development service.

How to choose the best Salesforce Development Service

Of course, the first step is making sure you’ve correctly identified your business needs. Are you looking for an end-to-end Salesforce implementation? What type of custom development are you after? Another thing you might want to take note of is the type of industry that the firm you’re looking into works with. Some firms’ experience is more industry-specific (Healthcare, Financial Services, etc.) than others. If your business processes are specific to your industry, this should be a part of your evaluation.

In conclusion, it’s imperative to understand your business requirements and keep those in mind when choosing your Consulting Partner.

Here are a few things to look at when vetting for the right partner.

Their offered services‍

Many of the Salesforce development companies on this list provide a plethora of Salesforce services, including implementation, general consultancy, salesforce integrations, and ongoing support. But these businesses also focus on designing, building, and maintaining applications when it comes to AppExchange app development, integration with third-party applications, and Salesforce mobile app development.

Certifications

We’d never advise solely relying on certifications to decide whether a company (or independent consultant) fits your project. However, certifications do evidence knowledge of certain products. Most of these development services have multiple certifications in a wide range of Salesforce products.
Even if you’re only looking for development in one specific area (CPQ, Pardot, Marketing Cloud, etc.), a Salesforce development service that is familiar with the different facets of Salesforce with certified salesforce developers should be able to provide enough expertise and guidance during implementation and beyond. Certified consultants also must pass release exams to maintain their credentials, which means they’ll have the most up-to-date Salesforce tools, resources, and knowledge. ‍
‍

Post-launch Support

‍Even after a project has successfully launched, the work doesn’t end right away. It’s more than likely that your users (be it your sales team, the customer experience team, or others) will come up with follow-up requirements or tighten up a possible issue. A good Salesforce development service will be readily available to assist and follow up with your team well after the launch. Continuous Salesforce consulting services should be readily available in case you need them.‍

‍
Social proof‍

In addition to working with certified experts, you should also consider how well your Salesforce development service has worked with other clients. Having a look into the company’s reviews on AppExchange, how many projects they’ve worked on, and specific customer stories can tell you a lot about whether a consultant is a right fit or not.
‍

Pricing

When you’re on the hunt for a service to get your project off the ground, the last thing you want to be surprised by is an outrageous quote. That’s why finding affordable development consultants for various project sizes with transparent pricing as projects scale is important.
