During the pre-rollout user experience assessment for a new Sales Cloud implementation, the consultant notices that sales representatives in different regions have wildly distinct terminology and data entry requirements for the Opportunity object. What is the most effective implementation strategy to address this before rollout?

A Sales Cloud Consultant is designing a comprehensive change management and communication plan for a enterprise-wide deployment. The organization has historically had low user adoption of internal software due to top-down mandates without end-user involvement. Which strategy should the consultant incorporate to directly counteract this historical resistance?
