Running a productive sales organization can be nerve-wracking: trying to grow your business, putting effective sales processes in place, and giving your sales reps the tools they need to be successful. In today’s hectic world, how do you give your reps more time in front of customers while also getting them to work together and sell as a team? Plus, how do you do everything with less money, fewer resources, and lower risk?
Today, many sales organizations are turning to the Internet—“the cloud”—to get fast, easy access to the tools and services they need to build closer relationships with customers, without the risk
and expense associated with traditional software. The cloud is connecting sales reps to information,
colleagues, partners, and prospects they would never find otherwise.
By moving their sales operations into the cloud, organizations are giving their sales reps the tools they need to be more productive, more collaborative, and sell more effectively. The result: stronger connections with customers, higher win rates, and more closed deals.
Welcome to the Sales Cloud
The World’s Most Popular Sales Application
The Sales Cloud is the trusted sales application for more than 55,400 salesforce. com customers around the world. Salesforce.com created the Sales Cloud ten years ago with a vision of making a sales application as easy to use as buying a book on Amazon.com. Now, the Web has moved forward and is connecting massive numbers of people through social networks and online communities. Naturally, the Sales Cloud has moved forward, too.
With the Sales Cloud, you get all the CRM capabilities you’ve come to expect from salesforce. com, along with the networking tools your reps need to make new and stronger connections within their broader communities of colleagues, partners, and prospects.
And thanks to our cloud-computing model, the Sales Cloud frees companies from the hidden costs, high failure rates, unacceptable risks, and drawn-out implementations of traditional CRM software. But don’t just take our word for it. In a recent independent survey by Market Tools, Inc., 3,500 salesforce.com customers reported average improvements of 27 percent in sales win rates, 33 percent in sales productivity, 34 percent in sales revenues, and 52 percent in lead volumes.
