What’s the first thing you would fix if you inherited a messy Salesforce org?

I’m curious what experienced Salesforce admins, consultants, and users would prioritize first.

Would you start with:

  • Duplicate or poor-quality data?
  • Too many customizations?
  • Broken automations/Flows?
  • User adoption?
  • Reports and dashboards?
  • Something else?

What’s been the biggest “mess” you’ve had to clean up in a Salesforce org?

What's the one Salesforce automation you eventually removed because it created more work than it saved?

I've seen flows, approval processes, and automations that looked great during implementation but became difficult to maintain as the business evolved.

Sometimes simplifying the system delivers more value than adding another automation.

What's one automation you removed or wish you had?

What's the most unnecessary Salesforce customization you've ever seen?

I've seen Salesforce projects where simple business requirements turned into dozens of custom fields, flows, and approval processes.

Sometimes customization solves a real problem.

Sometimes it creates three new ones.

What's the most unnecessary Salesforce customization you've come across, and what happened afterward?
