What is the Salesforce Partner Tier System?

How to navigate tiers

Salesforce partners are ranked by Salesforce based on the delivery of successful projects, company innovation, and company growth. Partner Tiers are based on each partner’s Trailblazer Score, which assesses their contribution to Salesforce-defined goals in four categories: Customer Success, Innovation, Growth, and Leadership. Each partner is given a tier group based on their score. High scoring Salesforce partners are in the Summit tier, like us. Below are the different types of Salesforce tiers, in order from highest to lowest scoring.

Summit partners: the highest tier
Crest partners: the second tier
Ridge partners: the third tier
Base partners: the fourth tier

What Tier do I Need?

Qualifying Tiers

The best Salesforce partner an organisation can choose is a Summit partner. Regardless of the size or scope of your project, we recommend that you work with a Summit Salesforce partner to ensure its success. Summit partners will have more experience of Salesforce implementations, and a proven ability to provide meaningful consulting services.

It is even more important to choose a Summit Salesforce partner if you need to create a solution that is highly customised or if you have a more complex environment with many lines of business or several unique apps.
