    Pip Tip #43 – Permission sets

    Permission Sets

    Did you know that, in the Spring ‘26 release, Salesforce are retiring permission sets on profiles?

    Put simply, this means that permissions and access will no longer be granted via Profiles, but in Permission Sets instead.

    To manage this change, Salesforce Admins will need to analyse and adjust permissions & permission assignments for their orgs in time for the updates.

    Make sure to read up on the changes to help your team prepare ahead of new releases!

    Leveraging Account Discovery

    A feature of the Salesforce Spring ’23 release, Account Discovery provides dashboards and Einstein Discovery models to help you identify Accounts with potential for growth.

    It works by analysing measures such as the number of deals closed, deals open, win rate, activities and products. Each Account is assigned to a cluster based on commonalities found in these measures.

    The Accounts are then benchmarked against the cohort (cluster) average and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

    As a Sales Leader or Sales Rep, you can also use Account Discovery to quickly identify and prioritise at-risk Accounts, and take the necessary steps to mitigate.

    It’s a powerful tool for sales teams to manage and grow their Accounts!
