Salesforce Community Cloud Consultant Practice Exam

In which scenario is the Customer Community license most effectively used?

1. For services in B2B partnerships

2. B2C communities with large numbers of external users

3. B2B sales data access

4. Private customer relationship management

The correct answer is: B2C communities with large numbers of external users

The Customer Community license is designed primarily to serve businesses that engage with a large external audience, particularly in Business-to-Consumer (B2C) scenarios. This license allows businesses to provide self-service support, enabling external users to access information and services efficiently. Importantly, the scalability of the Customer Community license makes it ideal for managing a high volume of users, ensuring that businesses can support a large number of customers without the complexities that could arise in more intimate settings. In B2B scenarios or for private relationship management, the needs may align more closely with user collaboration, access to sensitive data, and internal business processes, which are often better suited to different types of licenses that focus on partnership and internal collaboration rather than broad self-service and engagement. Therefore, the characteristics of the Customer Community license make it especially beneficial for B2C environments where businesses need to provide access to numerous external users while maintaining ease of use and support across a diverse customer base.
