of RevOps teams have parent-child data inaccurately linked

Challenge

Salesforce hierarchies can only go so far

Data providers can’t build account hierarchies in Salesforce — you need to manually link accounts. Left ignored it can lead to territory conflicts, missed revenue opportunities, and inaccurate reporting.

Fragmented hierarchies

Salesforce requires child accounts to be linked directly to their parent account. Missing the parent? You’ll be left with a fragmented or inaccurate hierarchy.

Single hierarchy limit

Salesforce only allows you to store one version of a hierarchy – a problem if you need to compare a legal vs. go-to-market hierarchy.

Gaps in reporting

Disconnected subsidiaries make capturing key metrics in roll-up reports time-consuming and inaccurate.

What is account hierarchy management software?

Account hierarchy management software enables teams to create, visualize, and manage links between parent-child accounts in Salesforce. It offers visibility into relationships among global ultimate parents, subsidiaries, and departments within corporate family trees.

Why do you need account hierarchy management software?

Purchasing account hierarchy data from third-party data providers like Dun & Bradstreet is a great starting point, but this alone doesn’t let you visualize an account’s corporate hierarchy in Salesforce.

 

Third-party data providers can’t create lookups in the Parent ID field at scale, requiring you to manually link and update parent-child relationships one at a time. This manual process is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors as your data volume grows.

 

Account hierarchy management software, such as Complete Hierarchies, addresses this issue by automatically creating and maintaining these account linkages. This ensures that connections between parent and child accounts remain clean, connected, and consistently up to date, enhancing data accuracy and usability.

How can account hierarchies benefit sales teams?

Account hierarchies in Salesforce provide sales reps with a detailed view of how their accounts are interconnected within a larger corporate structure.

 

This information can help reps recognize existing relationships within a corporate family tree that can open doors to cross-selling and upselling opportunities. This visibility also allows representatives to leverage existing trust to make smoother introductions into related accounts.

 

A clear view of an account hierarchy can reveal which levels of an organization make buying decisions. When sales reps understand which departments have budget authority and how subsidiaries make decisions, they can save time prospecting by targeting entities with decision-making power.

 

Finally, providing reps with visibility allows them to see if contracts exist at different hierarchy levels, helping avoid surprise requests for corporate pricing and discounts.
