As of October 14, 2025, Data Cloud has been rebranded to Data 360. During this transition, you may see references to Data Cloud in our application and documentation. While the name is new, the functionality and content remains unchanged.
What’s the Salesforce Customer Success Score?
The Salesforce Customer Success Score gives you a 360 view into your Salesforce implementation. This view includes your use of Salesforce products and features, the health of your implementation, and your engagements with the full Salesforce ecosystem–all of which collectively affect your success on Salesforce.
The Customer Success Score is available to customers with specific Salesforce clouds and an active Signature Success Plan, or a Premier Success Plan. Signature Success Plan customers can view this score through the Salesforce Help portal. Premier Success Plan customers can request a Success Review through Help with a Success Guide to review their score. It’s curated from specific signals gathered from various data sources across Salesforce and uses an intuitive absolute scoring model. Each org (or tenant) receives a score between 0 and 100. And we offer you the option to compare your score against anonymous peers from organizations of similar size.
Your Customer Success Score helps Salesforce and your partners collaborate with you. With the score, we can align with you on common goals, shared metrics, and KPIs. Self-service access to the score also helps you and your implementation partners easily identify areas of improvement and make informed, data-driven decisions. Check out the short video to learn more.
Customer Success Score Categories
The Customer Success Score is divided into three categories that are proven indicators of customer success: Product Adoption, Customer Expertise, and Technical Health. Each category also gets a score between 0 and 100.
-
Product Adoption Score: Measures how effectively you're adopting and using Salesforce products.
-
Customer Expertise Score: Measures how you’re consuming available Salesforce resources.
-
Technical Health Score: Measures the health of your Salesforce implementation.
We base these scores on relevant metrics, which we call signals. Signals are measured against Salesforce-defined best practices and customer benchmarks. The scores also offer valuable suggestions and insights to help you improve product usage and overall performance in specific areas.
