Sales Cloud Consultant
The Salesforce Certified Sales Cloud Consultant credential proves you can design and implement Sales Cloud solutions that scale across a real sales organization — not just configure a single org. It sits one tier above the Administrator certification and is a gateway role on most Salesforce consulting and partner teams. Because the exam leans on scenario-based judgment rather than memorized clicks, a single weak domain can pull you under the 69% cut. This page breaks down exactly what's tested, how it's delivered, and how to get it done right the first time.

How the Sales Cloud Consultant exam is built — at a glance
60
Multiple-choice and multiple-select questions, plus up to five unscored items that trial future content and are not flagged during the exam.
105
Roughly 1 minute 45 seconds per question — tight when each scenario describes a full client implementation you have to reason through.
69%
You need to answer about 42 of the 60 scored questions correctly. There is no penalty for guessing — every question should be answered.
This is a consultant exam, so most questions are situational: a fictional company describes its sales process, pain points, and constraints, and you choose the most appropriate Salesforce solution. Several questions ask you to pick two or three correct answers, and partial credit is not awarded — you must select every right option to earn the point.
The exam tracks the current Salesforce release, so features such as forecasting, lead and opportunity management, and Sales Cloud automation are tested as they behave today. After you certify, a short annual maintenance module on Trailhead keeps your credential aligned with each new release at no cost.
Five weighted domains — bars show each domain's share of your scored questions
The single largest domain. Configuring leads, accounts, contacts, opportunities, products, price books, forecasting, and territory management to fit a client's sales motion.
Designing the end-to-end process from lead capture and qualification through opportunity stages, quoting, and closing — and reporting on each stage.
Scoping a project, gathering requirements, choosing a delivery approach, and planning a rollout, training, and adoption strategy the business will actually use.
Data migration, deduplication, quality, and governance — moving a client onto Sales Cloud cleanly and keeping records trustworthy over time.
Stakeholder management, discovery, and the soft skills of consulting — knowing when to recommend declarative configuration versus custom development.
The two largest domains — Practical Application of Sales Cloud and the Sales Lifecycle — together account for more than half of the scored questions, so deep, hands-on familiarity with the standard sales objects is what separates a pass from a near-miss. Weights reflect the current exam outline and can shift slightly with each Salesforce release.
Two ways to sit the exam through Pearson VUE — and what to expect on test day
You register through Trailhead and take the exam from a private room using Pearson VUE's OnVUE online proctoring. A live proctor verifies your government ID, runs a 360° room scan, and watches your webcam for the full 105 minutes. You'll need a stable connection, a clear desk, and a quiet space with no one else present.
You can also sit the exam in person at a Pearson VUE testing center. Staff verify your ID, store your belongings, and seat you at a monitored workstation. The registration fee is the same USD $200 either way; the difference is purely where and how you're supervised.
A valid, unexpired government photo ID with a name that matches your Trailhead registration exactly. The proctor captures a photo before the exam unlocks.
For online sittings: a clear desk, no second monitor, no phone or notes within reach, and a webcam scan of the room. No one else may enter while you test.
Stay on-camera and in frame the whole time. There is no scheduled break in the 105 minutes, and leaving the seat or losing connection can flag the session.
Built for people who design Sales Cloud for others
One hard requirement, then it's about real-world judgment
Difficulty: This is widely considered a step up from the Administrator exam. The 69% bar is high and the scenario questions reward implementation experience over memorization — knowing the feature isn't enough, you have to know when it's the right call. That judgment gap is exactly the pressure point our help is designed to remove.
