Common Sales and Marketing Applications exam traps
- ▸Assuming all users can access all Leads by default; default access is controlled by org-wide defaults and role hierarchy.
- ▸Using a validation rule instead of an approval process for high-value Opportunity approvals.
- ▸Overlooking sync direction or user sync settings when Lightning Sync changes do not appear.
