The Power of the Marketing Cloud

Like our customers, we use Salesforce.com daily to manage our relationships. As someone with first-hand experience working as a sales rep and marketer in organizations without a CRM, I know how much easier it is to offer customers a great experience when you can see their purchase and contact history right there in Salesforce. It sure beats scrambling for customer data in email inboxes, spreadsheets and yes, on scraps of notebook paper. And with their recent acquisitions, Salesforce is now giving marketers a reason to rejoice, offering robust marketing automation and social media marketing functionality. We’re impressed with what Salesforce has assembled, and Revenue.io gives marketers one more reason to make Salesforce the center of the marketing analysis engine.
