Connecting with Customers, Partners and Employees to Thrive in Today’s Connected World
Salesforce1 is the next generation social, mobile and cloud platform for this new connected world – the first customer platform built to transform sales, services, marketing and more for the Internet of Customers. Sellers can struggle to understand their customer’s business rapidly enough and that makes it difficult to effectively position their solutions to solve the customer’s business problem. Dealmaker Align empowers product marketing and sales enablement teams to create Smart Customer Maps to describe typical customer business problems, in the language of the customer, and Smart Sales Kits that guide the seller with key persona-based messages, insights, sales tools, and competitive positioning statements to have great conversations, and turn those conversations in customers. Dealmaker Align accelerates the salesperson’s business experience and connects their solutions to the customer’s business problems.
