Janis and Philipp return for another solo deep dive—this time unpacking one of the most downloaded resources they've released so far: the Salesforce Data Hygiene Cheat Sheet.

  • Why bad data is worse than no data at all

  • How to approach activity capture (and why Einstein Activity Capture isn’t it)

  • Tools and workflows to clean, enrich, and maintain your CRM

  • How AI summaries and automated field updates can drive data accuracy

  • Validation rules, stage criteria, and building hygiene dashboards

  • Quick wins that create trust in your CRM without overwhelming reps
