A standard person account object is the best option for representing the bank’s customers within its Salesforce instance. A person account is a type of account that represents an individual rather than a company. Person accounts are a hybrid of the account and contact objects, combining their characteristics into one. They allow the bank to store information that applies to humans, such as first and last names, email, phone, address, etc. When a person account is created, a contact is automatically created and associated with the account. Person accounts are the Salesforce official model for representing an individual and can be used alongside business accounts for B2B and B2C activities. In Financial Services Cloud, person accounts can be used for a simplified, customizable user experience1. A person account can also have related opportunities, which are potential sales or revenue-generating events. This way, the financial advisor can access a customer’s record and see all potential business opportunities related to each individual customer2.
The other options are not suitable for the bank’s scenario. A standard lead object is a prospect or potential customer who has expressed interest in the bank’s products or services, but has not yet qualified as a sales opportunity. A lead can be converted into an account, a contact, and an opportunity when it is ready to be pursued3. However, the bank does not need to use leads to track its customers, as they are already existing customers who have accounts with the bank. A standard opportunity object is a sales or revenue-generating event that is related to an account. An opportunity can have multiple stages, products, amounts, and probabilities of closing. An opportunity can also be linked to a campaign, which is a marketing initiative to generate leads or contacts4. However, the bank cannot use opportunities alone to represent its customers, as they are not standalone objects, but rather depend on accounts. A standard account object is a company or organization that the bank does business with. An account can have multiple contacts, which are the people who work at the account and interact with the bank. An account can also have related opportunities, cases, activities, and other records5. However, the bank does not have any corporate or business customers at this time, so using standard accounts would not reflect the nature of its individual customers.
