It’s Not How Many Hours, But How Much In the Hours: Why Partnering with a Salesforce Partner like Summit Means Investing in Outcomes, Not Just Time

Salesforce Partner

In the world of Salesforce implementations, it’s easy to get caught up in counting hours. How many hours are in the contract? How many hours will this new request take? How many hours will it take to get my system live? Am I selecting the right Salesforce partner?

But at Summit, we believe the real question isn’t how many hours, but rather, it’s how much is packed into every single one.

When you work with a seasoned Salesforce partner like Summit, you’re not just buying blocks of time. You’re tapping into decades of experience, thousands of successful deployments, and a refined methodology that makes every hour exponentially more valuable.

Experience Isn’t Measured in Time, It’s Measured in Impact

Summit is a Salesforce Summit-tier partner. That’s the highest designation Salesforce gives, earned by consistent excellence, proven results, and deep expertise across industries. Our teams have delivered complex, high-impact solutions for governments, nonprofits, education institutions, and commercial organizations.

So when we walk into a project, we’re not learning on the job. We’ve likely solved similar challenges before, and we bring tested strategies, accelerators, and insights that can shortcut the learning curve and avoid common pitfalls.

A Team That’s Sharpened by Practice

Our architects, admins, analysts, and developers aren’t junior staffers clocking time. They’re experts with certifications, real-world experience, and a shared passion for helping clients succeed. They know what questions to ask. They know how to anticipate risks. And they know how to guide organizations from “just getting started” to “fully empowered.” We are here to be your true Salesforce partners.

We also believe in knowledge transfer, not dependency. We build internal champions in your organization, so the value we deliver lasts long after go-live.

Buying Time vs. Buying Transformation

Ultimately, hours are just a unit of measurement. But transformation, the kind that modernizes processes, empowers your staff, and delivers tangible results. That’s priceless. So the next time you’re comparing proposals, and looking for a Salesforce partner, don’t just ask how many hours you’re getting. Ask how much value is in those hours. With Summit, each one is packed with insight, precision, and a relentless focus on your success.

"Easy to Work With"
Angie W.

Northwoods worked with Summit to help migrate our Microsoft Dynamics CRM system to Salesforce.  Summit was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and easy to work with.  They were able to help us configure the system to handle complex business processes while making the system easy for end users.  They were also able to migrate all our legacy Dynamics data to the new Salesforce system.  Summit helped train our technical team on Salesforce administration while keeping the project on time and under budget.  I highly recommend Summit for any Salesforce-related project.

"Mind Blowing!"
Rachael H.

As a leader of a small non-profit aimed to scale rapidly and efficiently, I knew it was critical to transition from antiquated spreadsheets to a sophisticated CRM. We dabbled in Salesforce on our own the year prior. To put it mildly, I was terrified to go there again. Summit met my apprehension with confidence and reassurance. They were timely, efficient and positioned us to utilize Salesforce in ways we hadn’t imagined. Every day I’m in awe of what Salesforce can do; to the team’s credit for imparting their wisdom. Summit has positioned us for unprecedented opportunities at Walk with a Doc. Thank you!

"BEST Salesforce Consultant Available"
Catherine Z.

We went through 3 consultants before finding Summit. The difference was night and day, and the cost was very reasonable. They helped us get our Communities up and running in less than a week (after 2 other teams essentially dragged their feet for 9 months - yes, 9 months!). We are ecstatic! We also have Managed Services with them, for a few hundred bucks a month they are our go-to for anything Salesforce. The team is INSTANTLY responsive - like within 2 minutes. I have experienced other consultants and can tell you, there is no comparison. Hire Summit!

"Did a Wonderful Job"
Paige B.

We have primarily been using Salesforce for our sales team. Recently we decided to bring our support team on and Summit did an awesome job helping us get everything set up the way we needed.

"Great Learning and Implementation"
Annette H.

Great experience with Summit. They are very knowledgeable about Salesforce and their turn around is outstanding. I am looking forward to working Part 2 of our plan with them.

"Transformation Data w/ Excellent Service"
Kay W.

The skill set and knowledge that Summit has brought to this project far surpasses our initial expectation- especially since our initial contact with Salesforce corp. was challenged in regards to utilizing training videos to suit our scope and need. Summit and team has been helpful in supporting our team with a custom solution in order for us to be able to serve our community better. They are timely and professional, and eager to learn about the why before telling us the what.

"Made our Dream CRM a Reality!"
Matt S.

Summit made our Salesforce dream a reality. As a small non-profit on a limited budget with very specific CRM needs we were challenged to find a suitable Salesforce partner. Fortunately we were introduced to Summit, and from day one they made the formidable task of implementing Salesforce doable (and even enjoyable!). The Summit team are pros, from their accessibility and communication to industry knowledge and attitude, they never said 'no' to a request. When we encountered hiccups along the way they took the time to trouble shoot and make fixes, even when it was outside the original scope of the project. We didn't deviate from the project timeline or budget, which says a lot considering our custom needs for data collection/reporting, donor communication, and third party plug-ins. If you are considering implementing Salesforce or have any Salesforce needs, I highly recommend Summit and their team.
