We use Salesforce Sales Cloud as our customer relationship management platform. We use it to keep track of leads, customers and past customers. Our sales team have all the information they need to evaluate prospects and leads, to nurture them, convert them and ensure appropriate handover to customer success. Other stakeholders in the company such as executives, finance, marketing and product benefit from the unified data.

Our sales team has been using Salesforce Sales Cloud for a while and it helps to organize all the sales deals, prospective clients, and client pipelines under one umbrella. The team members have been working in silo and the sync happened between the members during the standup calls and other sync-up calls before using Sales Cloud. This caused a delay in the sales processes, but now everyone is synced up automatically through the dashboard provided by Sales Cloud.

We needed to be able to track, in a hybrid work environment, new sales, prospects, former clients, with more enhanced metrics. Sales Force Sales Cloud helps us do that, even when our Sales Reps are traveling, in office, working from home, etc. No one is stepping on each other's toes any longer.

We use Salesforce Sales Cloud for our daily pipeline leads and opportunities management. Our sales teams are able to track their relationships through activity tracking and prioritization through standard features. Management are able to see an overview of how the sales teams are pursuing leads. Through personalized team dashboards and scheduled reports managers are constantly informed on progress or areas of improvement. All processes in the pipelines are automated through in-house automation tools, from approvals to auto-creating records based on user inputs. It's an easy platform to use once you get to know it and even better if you have an administrator on staff. There are multiple Salesforce consultants to partner up with for the development of the platform to suit specific business needs. The Salesforce support teams are awesome and helpful and there are multiple help articles online to assist with your customization of the platform.

We use this to manage relationships with customers and potential clients. It can sometimes take a while to get a client. This allows us to manage the relationship with clients as we develop the business. It also allows us to manage the return customer relationship and to stay in touch with potential return clients.

We use Salesforce Sales Cloud as a CRM for our Customer-facing teams (Sales and Customer Success). Salesforce Sales Cloud is used to track leads, opportunities and current customers at every stage of the funnel. It allows our Sales org to better identify which opportunities have the highest chance for conversion and to more accurately monitor sales pipeline. We also use it as a core tool in our top of funnel lead outreach strategy, creating workflows to distribute leads to BDR's (Business Development Representative) for email and phone prospecting.

We use Salesforce Sales Cloud for our CRM and customer relationship management; all of our hand raisers and marketing leads go into Salesforce and are tracked through the entire cycle. We share access with Sales and commercial teams - it helps allow full visibility within the entire commercial part of our wider global business, in all markets, to see what's going on with every single potential prospect or existing client in the database. It shows all email marketing and sales engagement touchpoints, and it helps us to report on all of the quality of our leads, so we can then better inform our marketing lead scoring model in the rest of our tech stack. Salesforce Sales Cloud also connects to all of our other sales and martech stack to allow for seamless integration and reporting across the entire customer experience and funnel. Our B2B business really appreciates having this full funnel visibility at all times, so all teams can tap in and understand the wider company.

I used Salesforce Sales Cloud on both the Customer Success and sales sides. On the CS side, we used it to review sales notes and timelines, add tasks for onboarding and post-OB follow-ups, and note any big changes to the account, conversations, etc. On the Sales side, we used it to post information such as software they are coming from, others they are evaluating, what they like/dislike about our product, what are the main drivers for switching, their proposed ARR, any discounts that might be applied, and any referrals (who they were referred from, who they have referred).

We were looking at using Salesforce to speed up work flows and assist in the efficiency of information handling between departments. Saleforce as a CRM allowed us to explore and see what a data lifecycle would look like using Sales Cloud in an education environment. The use case was looking at the student information data flow from an interested parent, through to enrollment and beyond.

I am a mortgage broker and we utilize Salesforce as a loan origination tool. Now, I've seen various different iterations of salesforce being used and I am familiar with its ability to adapt to a certain business need so it wasn't a big surprise when we were able to do exactly what we needed it to do for our clients. From detailed notes, to a follow up system, a contact management, an automation marketing tool, all these pieces were addressed through Salesforce.

We use Salesforce Sales Cloud as our 'one source of truth' for most things related to our customers. We use it for more than just the CRM capabilities, having built custom objects and Flows that enable us to use Salesforce to process jobs all the way from a Lead through Opportunity and then to the point where the finished items are dispatched to the customer. The ease of customisation and automation means we use it as extensively as we can.

We are a Salesforce partner. We have implemented Sales Cloud for numerous organizations. The business flow that is typically required is: web to lead or email to lead. After the lead is created then lead status is tracked and update in Salesforce. Once the lead shows interest, it is converted and an account, contact and opportunity are created. In the opportunity products are added, and quotes are created from Salesforce. The stages of Opportunity are updated by Sales persons. Salesforce is also used to track activities like tasks and events on the opportunities.

Management has access to reports related to Opportunity and leads.

This is a basic Sales cloud flow which is then customized based on business needs.

During my tenure at Yalo I used Salesforce Sales Cloud on a daily basis both as a sales rep and as a sales manager for the region. I used it to track and organize all my sales process with my prospects and clients in the Andean region.

I use Salesforce Sales Cloud (SFDC) to manage all sales routine. Accounts, Opportunities, Contacts, Leads, Quotes and Partners. I have been working for the last 9 years in software companies and all of them (AppDynamics, Cisco, Harness and Zscaler) use and recommended SFDC. The level of integration and volume of data processes is incredible and new features evolving AI will bring more value to the solution and make sales and marketing teams life easier.

I use Salesforce Sales Cloud to primarily address three use cases: Opportunity Management, Account Management, and Pipeline Visibility

Account Management: We have a diverse customer base, including individual users, small businesses, and large enterprises. Sales Cloud enables us to manage customer accounts effectively, ensuring that each account receives appropriate attention and support. A lot of this is managed by our RevOps team, but the the whole Sales team benefits from this.

Opportunity Management: I have a custom view that I open each morning (it's a pinned tab actually) that I access multiple times a day. it's my one source of truth that I go back to constantly. I would be lost without.

Pipeline Visibility: I have used the Forecast tab in the past to great effectiveness. It has enabled me to be incredibly accurate with my forecasting.

Our use of Salesforce Sales Cloud is for tracking clients and potential clients, including information attached to said individuals. It does what is expected, and the information is presented in an easily consumable fashion. The reminders and overall database structure make it a good tool for staying on top of business conditions.

Salesforce helps us manage all of our customer's data in one place, such as leads, accounts, and opportunities. This data can be helpful during personalized marketing campaigns for targeted audiences. The email integration feature is handy for communicating with customers directly from the sales platform. It offers a free trial, which is good because you can try it before buying.

Oddly enough, we're using Salesforce Sales Cloud for our post-purchase records, and it is definitely working great! It was the last piece that we needed to complete the business plan, though we know that we can also use Salesforce Sales Cloud with its other features! It's best paired with integration with other apps that we use, and it is very flexible with developers, so you can make the most of it!

We use the SF Sales Cloud to keep track of leads/customers and manage pipelines. We are a start, and hence, we are generating a lot of leads from various sources. I import leads and customers and log our conversations to SF so that we can keep track of the conversation. When I have to do an email campaign, I can easily export a list of contacts with different filters. Another primary use is to keep track of the pipeline, and I report to the CEO monthly on the pipeline summaries. We also use it to store critical documents on the account level, such as CDA, MSA, SOW, etc.
