What is Salesforce? 

Salesforce is a CRM system that is the living beating heart of a business. A CRM is used by a business to keep customer data centralised and safe for employees to use in their day-to-day jobs. It enables a business to monitor its performance. 

A team is needed to implement and manage the CRM and these job roles include: 

1. Business Analyst 
2. Salesforce Administrator
3. Project Manager
4. Salesforce Consultant
5. Customer Success Manager/Account Executive 
6. Marketing Cloud Expert

A CRM can also help reduce costs and increase profits of a company. It can reduce admin and overhead costs, maximise team efficiency and optimise sales through better customer service. It’s important to demonstrate the value of the product, if you are in one of these roles. 

Salesforce CRM is Cloud Based so everything is remote meaning people can work from anywhere to do these job roles.

Is Salesforce CRM Recession Proof?

For the ninth consecutive year, Salesforce has been ranked the #1 Global CRM provider by International Data Corporation (IDC) in its latest Worldwide Semiannual Software Tracker. It’s used by over 150,000 companies and 35,000 non-profits.

Salesforce continues to grow its overall market share position and increase revenue year after year, contributing to its #1 ranking. Additionally, the data shows Salesforce with leading market share in IDC’s segments for sales applications, customer service applications, marketing applications, model-driven application platforms, and enterprise community applications.
