In this article, we will discover what Salesblazer is and how it helps sales professionals.
What is Salesblazer?
Selling in today’s economic climate is no easy feat. According to the latest State of Sales report, 69% of sales professionals agree that their job is harder now. Additionally, only 28% of sales professionals expect to make 100% of the annual quota.
Top 5 external factors making sales more challenging:
- Supply chain issues
- Inflation
- Shifting regulations
- Political instability
- Health precautions
Thanks to Salesforce Sales Cloud, sales teams all around the world are equipped with cutting-edge tools to sell smarter and faster. To demonstrate its further commitment, Salesforce launched Salesblazer with the aim to become the largest and most successful community of sales professionals.
We’re in a completely new day in sales, and many sales professionals are left on their own to figure things out. That’s why Salesblazer is so exciting. It will provide the largest-ever community for sales professionals to learn and grow their careers, all while connecting with industry peers. It’s a game changer.
