WHY LEARN FROM ELISE?

Salesforce isn't learned by memorizing features. It's learned by seeing how it works in the real world.

Elise brings real Salesforce migration experience into the classroom — turning complex concepts into practical workflows you can actually use.

REAL EXPERIENCE Learn what actually works.
LESS THEORY
MORE REAL-WORLD CONFIDENCE

A career built inside real Salesforce projects.

After years of leading Salesforce migration projects, Elise noticed a common challenge — many Salesforce professionals were expected to handle data migrations without a clear, repeatable process.

Salesforce Masterclass was created to bridge that gap by providing practical training, proven frameworks, and real-world examples that professionals can confidently apply to client projects.

BEYOND THE MIGRATION
She’s an all-rounder.
Elise brings a practical, hands-on mindset to Salesforce data migration — and pretty much everything else she takes on.
She likes understanding how things work, getting into the details, and finding a way forward when something isn't quite working.
01
Understand it.
Get close enough to the problem to know what's actually happening.
02
Figure it out.
Then build the clearest, most practical way forward.
“My goal isn't just to teach Salesforce — it's to help professionals feel confident applying what they learn in real projects.”

We’re Here for All Your Questions
SMC Migrations provides hands-on Salesforce data migration support, including data preparation, mapping, transformation, migration, validation, and post-migration checks.
Yes. Elise can handle the migration work directly, helping move your Salesforce data through a structured process designed to reduce errors and unexpected issues.
Yes. Training is available for teams that want to learn how to plan, prepare, map, migrate, and validate Salesforce data themselves.
The migration approach depends on your Salesforce org and source system. Common migration projects can involve Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Activities, and other supported objects and relationships.
Data is reviewed and prepared before migration. Issues such as duplicates, missing values, inconsistent formats, and relationship problems can be identified and addressed before records are moved.
Every migration is different. The timeline depends on the amount and condition of the data, the number of objects and relationships, mapping requirements, and the complexity of the source system.
The data is assessed, cleaned, mapped, and prepared for the target Salesforce environment. This preparation helps identify problems before they become migration problems.
A readiness review can identify data-quality issues, missing information, relationship problems, inconsistent values, and migration requirements that should be addressed before the move.
