Times are tough these days for Salesforce nonprofit consultants.
Lots of nonprofits are buckling down for the fall season and don’t seem to as deep pockets anymore. Some are focusing on non-CRM activities. Others may consider leaving Salesforce altogether.
This is probably caused by one or more of the following factors:
- Renaming Nonprofit Cloud (NPC) to Agentforce Nonprofit (AFNP) and back to NPC reduced trust
- Prices for NPC are steadily rising
- NPC is better suited for larger organizations, not small or medium ones
- Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) will eventually reach end-of-life
Given this, consultants may start looking to widen their focus to maintain an income. This begs the question: Are you more focused on Salesforce or on nonprofits?
If you’re focused on Salesforce, then looking for non-nonprofit clients is probably your best bet.
If you’re focused on nonprofits, then looking at non-Salesforce solutions is probably your best bet.
The takeaway
When times are tough, you need to adapt. The question is: Where will you go next?
