Salesforce knows that there’s more to sales success than just having the right tools. That’s why Salesforce offers an ever growing digital repository of data, articles, reports, tips, and other resources — all organized and easily searchable. With Salesforce Sales Cloud, you won’t just have the most effective sales software. You’ll also have the resources you need to become the most effective sales professional you can be.

Access your data from anywhere: Access Sales Cloud from anywhere in the world, and on any internet-enabled device. Salesforce CRM is designed ‘mobile first,’ which means that you’ll never have to worry about compatibility issues or a watered down mobile experience.

Communication is at the core of every business, and when it comes to communication between employees, teams, and departments, it’s also the core of effective collaboration. Essentially, if your teams can’t communicate effectively, they won’t be able to sell effectively either. Sales Cloud offers built-in collaboration solutions, so your team can act more quickly, find the right information easily, connect on projects, share competitive data, and more.

Put Your Business under the Microscope.

Put data to good use: Integrate with Salesforce Analytics Cloud, for AI-driven insights and intelligent reporting, so that you can improve your business effectiveness while you guide your leads.

Your customers drive your business success, but your teams are the fuel. Ensure that the engine of your business is running smoothly, by tracking and evaluating your sales processes, all in real time. Use visual representations of that data to see at a glance how your teams are doing, where their strengths lie, and where they could stand to improve.

Cross borders: Take advantage of Heroku Enterprise to deploy, run, and scale sales apps anywhere around the world, in any developer language.

Maximize your CRM software with Salesforce by integrating directly with Platform, users can build their own advanced applications using a variety of user-friendly tools. Code, low-code, and no-code options means that developers at all skill levels can create the perfect apps to suit their needs, and for those who’d rather use pre-built options, Salesforce AppExchange offers hundreds of downloadable, ready-made possibilities.

Go Mobile.
Manage your business on the go: Manage all of your sales tasks directly from your phone with the Salesforce1 app, giving you full Salesforce functionality in the palm of your hand.
Keep up to date: Access your dashboards in real time through your mobile device, so that you can respond to events as they happen, rather than waiting until the next time you’re in the office.
