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.
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…
