Salesforce is a customer relationship management service called CRM. It's primarily designed for companies and provides them with the tools necessary to manage their customers and leads in real-time. Sales managers or sales teams can use this software to track every interaction they have with prospective clients, including emails, phone calls or even social media posts. Teams of sales professionals can collaborate on these tasks using the system as well. Salesforce also allows teams outside of sales to input data into the system. Hence, it’s available when an appropriate salesperson reaches out about that information later on down the line -- aka "downstream marketing."

RELATED: What is Salesforce Used For? 

Reason #1: Salesforce is a cloud platform that offers CRM, sales management and customer interaction functionality. It enables a single source of truth of data from anywhere in the world (as long as you have an internet connection)

 

Reason #2: It's the fastest-growing enterprise software company in history, with over 200,000 customers from more than 190 countries. They are continuously updating user experiences and key features. 

 

Reason #3: The price ranges from $0 to $1600 depending on which features you want - this makes it affordable for any business budget. They do have nonprofit cloud licensing available.

 

Reason #4: You can use your existing data without having to reenter information or export/import anything. This means there are no complex integrations or customizations needed at all! All of your old records will be automatically converted into "views." Your team members can also have their own personalized views based on what they need access to so that everyone has up-to-date information about the activities related to their responsibilities. Once migrated to Salesforce, your team has a 360-degree view of the data, and now you can utilize the advanced features in Salesforce.

 

Reason #5: Salesforce has a pretty good mobile app with support for iOS and Android devices, but it's the "Chatter" feature that makes it really special. Chatter is basically an internal social networking site where your team members can collaborate on projects no matter how far away they are from one another or what time zone they're in! It integrates flawlessly with sales management features so you can schedule meetings, make deals, send emails, etc., all right from within the application itself without having to switch back and forth between screens.

Little History Of Salesforce

In 1979, Benioff and his co-founder Marc Rowan launched Salesforce.com in a rented San Francisco apartment with $60,000 of the company’s cash flow to start operations. Before launching salesforce.com, both were already working on an idea for software as a service called “Sales Force Automation Software” (SFA). When this is what led them to create SaaS, which has become popular today, it was not well known or even understood at the time by most people, including their investors, who did not invest when they pitched their plans before the launch date. The first few years after its founding proved difficult for Benioff, yet he persisted because of how much they had invested into the idea. Benioff and Rowan were doing everything from sales to programming themselves in the early years because there wasn’t enough money for workers as well then they had just one customer, who was Oracle. But eventually, Salesforce became successful after winning big contracts with some of the largest companies in the world, including Coca-Cola, American Express, GE etc.,

SalesForce is now worth about $60 Billion, making it more valuable than competitors like Microsoft or IBM, who are valued at over $200 billion each.

Benioff has always been a visionary leader committed to building an inclusive culture that allows us all to succeed as individuals. Our commitment is reflected in our growth at every level of company operations and community outreach programs across different geographies.

In 2013, he ranked no 13 on The World’s Billionaires list according to Forbes with a net worth of $12.0 billion and was the first publicly traded tech CEO to sign The Giving Pledge, committing 50% or more of his wealth over time to charity.
