This book is a well written implementation guide and a must have for both newbies and CPQ veterans. The author starts off explaining how to get started in a new CPQ implementation and moves through the details of setting up Opportunities and Quotes, and Products. Next is where CPQ really starts to show it's power - and it's complexity! The author does a fantastic job explaining pricing and discounting, explaining the price waterfall, and configuring a robust quoting engine while avoiding common mistakes. From there, the reader is guided to setup contract amendments and renewals and gets a in-depth look at the robust CPQ data model and the various settings of the CPQ package. I personally refer to this book frequently and have recommended it to my customers as their go-to guide for maintaining and changing their CPQ configuration. CPQ is a powerful tool and that inherently comes with a lot of complexity; the CPQ Implementation Handbook by Madhu Ramanujan will significantly reduce your implementation time, save you many hours of headaches, and be a trusted resource you refer to time and time again.

I typically use the Sales Cloud and Nonprofit Cloud in my day-to-day work and am less familiar with CPQ, but I found this book to be a very helpful resource to get started. It provides a great overview of key CPQ features and in-detail configuration instructions for each of the elements - products, prices, and quotes. I also appreciated a chapter on best practices for successful implementation and improving performance. There is some discussion around quote to cash process, I think it would be interesting to briefly touch on the cart to quote scenario as well and how CPQ works with the Commerce Cloud. Overall, this book is a solid resource and I would recommend it to other Salesforce practitioners.

One of Salesforce Sales Cloud’s goal is to be a sales enablement tool, creating and tracking Opportunities that may have products and services associated with them in order to report and calculate customer’s lifetime value and your company’s revenue.CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) is an additional package to Salesforce that allows for further clarification to your Opportunities to build additional revenue. Through the process of configuration of products in bundles, product selection features, and filtering the right products can be put together. Pricing can be set based on product packaging, calculations can be automated and discounts can be applied. Quotes are created to present options to customers with ability to sign and agree.All of these capabilities are amazing and require an amazing developer on the back-end to build all of these features based on the organizations desires. This is where Madhu Ramanujan and the wisdom in the book Salesforce CPQ Implementation Handbook come so handy. Madhu walks us through the entire process of Salesforce CPQ and step by step functionality and the meaning behind the behavior of the product.I appreciated all the details around explaining terminology and walking through the data model. There are good reference pictures scattered in the book that help understand the methods in the chapters so it is easy to follow.I am very glad I have this book and will be reading it further as I study CPQ further. I am planning on continuing my study in CPQ and will use this information as a guide.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
