SFDC Functionality- Account Management


In Sales force CRM,Account Management deals the felicities found in Accounts Tab. Account records used to store Company information for Leads,Partners,Suppliers and Even Competitors.
Accounts can be considered as "Business Accounts" from a Business to Business(B2B) prospective and Customer to Business(C2B) prospective.
Business to Business(B2B) means business process is a collection of linked tasks which find their end in the delivery of a service or product to a client. A business process has also been defined as a set of activities and tasks that, once completed, will accomplish an organizational goal.
Customer to Business(C2B) means business-to-consumer sales refers to a sales model in which business target individual consumers. Examples of B2C sales reps would be a sales reps selling cars, gym memberships, or stereo systems. While some B2C goods are at a high price point (real estate, cars, boats, etc.) the majority of B2C goods are at lower price points with only one or two decision makers. As such, the typical B2C sales cycle has a much shorter sales cycle than the typical business-to-business (B2B) sales cycle.

B2B commerce can be divided into some specific categories. These include:
  • Direct sellers- Like Amazon, Banana Republic and Zappos that sell directly to customers
  • Online Intermediaries- Such as Amazon.com that can sell products from a variety of vendors. They act as an intermediary and can BROKER deals between two parties
  • Community-based models- These represent specific interest groups like a bulletin board for gardeners. They are useful to advertisers because they can be used to MARKET to specific segments.
  • Advertising based models-websites designed to generate high traffic to expose users to ads
  • Fee-Based models-Such as Spotify and Netflx offer content on demand for a fee.

Naming Conventions for Accounts:

We recommend following Java standards for naming, that is, classes start with a capital letter, methods start with a lowercase verb, and variable names should be meaningful.
It is not legal to define a class and interface with the same name in the same class. It is also not legal for an inner class to have the same name as its outer class. However, methods and variables have their own namespaces within the class so these three types of names do not clash with each other. In particular it is legal for a variable, method, and a class within a class to have the same name.
