How to Use Salesforce Go to Setup Salesforce Revenue Cloud

Salesforce Revenue Cloud offers businesses powerful tools to automate sales processes, manage quoting, and drive revenue growth. The initial setup can sometimes feel daunting, but with Salesforce Go, administrators can quickly enable core Revenue Cloud capabilities, freeing up time for other priorities and empowering sales teams to start sending quotes faster.

Why Use Salesforce Go for Revenue Cloud Setup?

Traditionally, configuring Salesforce Revenue Cloud required manual steps to enable features, assign permissions, and prepare the system for quoting. Salesforce Go simplifies this process by automating many essential steps. With just a few clicks, admins can activate Revenue Cloud features and foundational settings with minimal effort.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up Revenue Cloud Using Salesforce Go

  1. Access a Fresh Salesforce Org
    Begin with a brand new Salesforce org that hasn’t yet been configured for Revenue Cloud or quoting capabilities. This ensures you’re starting with a clean slate.

  2. Navigate to Revenue Cloud Setup
    Go to the Salesforce setup area and search for Revenue Cloud in the search bar. If it’s not immediately visible, use the ‘View All’ option to find ‘Revenue Cloud Initial Setup.’

  3. Start the Guided Setup
    At the ‘Revenue Cloud Initial Setup’ page, you’ll find a description and demo video explaining what Revenue Cloud provides. Click the Get Started button to proceed.

  4. Review Enabled Features
    Before confirming, you’ll see a list of features and settings that Salesforce Go will enable for you. Some items may already be active, especially if working in a scratch org, but the core setup will still need to be initiated.

  5. Initiate Revenue Cloud Setup
    Click the Turn On button and confirm your selection. Setup will take a few minutes to complete. While waiting, you can focus on other tasks—Salesforce Go manages the heavy lifting.

  6. Verify Activated Settings
    Once setup is complete, review the following:

  • Salesforce Pricing: Core pricing engine enabled.
  • Context Definitions: Main and extended definitions for flexible revenue management.
  • Pricing Procedures: Automated procedures that support quoting and pricing workflows.
  • Activated Price Book: Base price book ready for use.
  1. Check Permission Sets
    The setup will assign relevant permission sets to users, streamlining access management. You can verify which permission sets have been applied and make adjustments based on your org’s specifics.

Final Thoughts and Next Steps

The Salesforce Go tool accelerates the foundation setup for Revenue Cloud, providing a ready environment for your sales team to start quoting clients. While not every setting is automated, allowing admins to maintain control where necessary, the time saved is significant.

This automated setup enables admins to focus on higher-value projects while helping the sales team hit the ground running with robust quoting tools in Salesforce Revenue Cloud.

Testimonials

Our clients say

From my initial call with Spencer through project implementation with John and Evan, my experience with the SOLVD team was excellent. They were quick to understand our business needs, clear when explaining the reasoning behind proposed solutions, transparent when reporting on progress and timeline, and all around enjoyable to work with. Would highly recommend and looking forward to continue working with them in the future!

Veronica Wong Director of Operations at Pathstream

SOLVD was very straight forward with everything needed to complete the project. No surprises, no issues, and cost was aligned with the estimate. They made implementation easy and quick.

Matt Benzaquen Sr Manager, Sales Strategy at Instabug

As a rule, I'm pretty stingy with my recommendations. So it's a pleasure for me to recommend Solvd as a top-flight Salesforce consultancy. Solvd recently led our company's conversion to the Lightning interface and did it on time, on budget and made it easy for me and my team. I know I'll use their services again, and am confident they can do the same for you.
