I talk here a lot about disruption and how startups grow significantly by creating products that use digital to enhance the traditional operations of an industry. One disruptor that I have been meaning to do a post on for quite a while is Salesforce. What Salesforce has done to the world of B2B sales and customer management is simply amazing. Over the past decade, they have taken a simple customer relationship management tool and built it into a robust sales/marketing/biz dev platform that is a must-have for any B2B company looking to grow.

So how big is Salesforce today? I sat down to see what I could find out and was certainly not disappointed with the results. Here are a few of the most interesting Salesforce statistics I was able to dig up. As always, be sure to check back in the future as I will be updating this post as new and updated stats become available.

Here are all the Salesforce statistics I have been able to dig up over the years; 40 of them including stats on:

Users
Revenue
Apps
Acquisitions
Etc.- all in one place

I try to go through each and every stat regularly and update as much as possible, but we all know that some stats are easier to track down than others. As always, every stat is linked to its original source and has the source date listed.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these stats come from Salesforce’s own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
