Key findings
- 360 Quantum Solutions and Slalom lead this sample, each named in 19.5–23.0% of 370 ChatGPT responses to the question “Which Salesforce partners work with small businesses?”, collected August 8, 2026–October 29, 2026.
- The gaps between 360 Quantum Solutions and Slalom are inside the margin of error at 370 responses, so The Shortlist Report groups them in one tier rather than ranking them against each other.
- 10 firms cleared the reporting threshold on “Which Salesforce partners work with small businesses?” in ChatGPT as of October 29, 2026; the full table with response counts is below.
- Accenture appears in 11 of the 13 Salesforce and CRM implementation partners reports published by The Shortlist Report, the widest coverage of any firm named on this page.
- No firm paid to appear in this ranking; placement cannot be bought, and the counts come from ChatGPT responses rather than from submissions.
Why the tiers fall where they do
Tier 1 holds 360 Quantum Solutions and Slalom, named in 72 to 85 of the 370 ChatGPT responses. They are grouped rather than ranked because the gaps between them are inside the margin of error at this sample size — one extra mention would reorder them, so an order would be reporting noise as a finding.
Tier 2 holds Accenture, Systep, Atlas Consulting, SierraSync, RSM, Cloudy Coders, INSIDEA and Systems To Success, named in 48 to 54 of 370 responses (13.0–14.6%). The sample does separate these firms from the tier above: the difference from the leading group is larger than the margin of error, which is what puts them in a tier of their own.
The test is McNemar’s at 95%, applied against the same 370 responses for every firm. The full reasoning, and what happened when we ranked one-to-N instead.
What the sample shows
2 firms lead this question: 360 Quantum Solutions and Slalom. They appear in 19.5–23.0% of the 370 responses. The gaps between them are inside the margin of error at this sample size, so they are listed together rather than ranked against each other.
366 firms were named at least once across the sample. 10 of them cleared the threshold of 2 responses and appear above; the rest were named once and are inside the noise.
How to read this
Firms are grouped into tiers, not ranked one to fifteen. A tier holds every firm whose 95% confidence interval overlaps the leader's, which is a long way of saying the sample cannot tell them apart. Order within a tier is arbitrary — read the counts, not the position.
Share is the percentage of responses that named the firm — not a quality score. A firm scoring low here may be excellent and simply under-written about online, which is a finding about its visibility rather than its work.
The same question was asked repeatedly because AI assistants do not answer identically twice. A single response would tell you almost nothing.
What this measurement does not tell you
- It is not a quality ranking. Share reflects how much has been written about a firm online, which is what an AI assistant reads. A capable firm nobody writes about scores low here.
- It is a reading from a date range, not a permanent standing. This sample was collected August 8, 2026–October 29, 2026; models change and so do their answers.
- It covers ChatGPT only. Other assistants answer differently, and we do not extrapolate across engines we have not measured.
- Order within a tier is arbitrary. Read the counts, not the position. Why we use tiers.
