Before, it could take up to 25 minutes for a new lead to make it to the right sales development rep. Click below to watch how Salesforce has gotten that down to a matter of seconds with Data Cloud.

Salesforce isn’t just acquiring companies for growth—they’re doing it to reshape the future of CPQ. These acquisitions are strategic moves to enhance their CPQ and RevOps capabilities, not just to expand their portfolio. The real value? It’s in how these newly acquired technologies are driving innovation in pricing, quoting, and revenue management. Take Slack and MuleSoft, for example: These weren’t just tools to add to Salesforce’s stack. They’ve become integral parts of the CPQ process, connecting sales operations, streamlining workflows, and making it easier for teams to manage complex deals. Salesforce is positioning itself to lead in AI-driven CPQ, and these acquisitions are making it possible. What does this mean for your business? It means you’ll need to rethink your CPQ strategy. The old way of doing things—manual quotes, siloed processes, static pricing—won’t cut it anymore. If your sales team isn’t ready to adopt these changes, you’ll struggle to keep up. Salesforce’s acquisitions are about reshaping how you run your sales operations. #salesforce #slack #mulesoft

I'm looking for CPQ success stories! If you don't have one yet, perhaps consider our Health Check offering. We specialize in CPQ remediations and have quite a few success stories to share. CPQ can be tricky so if yours gets a gold star, do share. I'm sure others would appreciate any tips or best practices. #happytohelp #cloudgiants
