Sales Cloud is a powerful tool from Salesforce that is designed to help businesses better manage their sales processes. With Sales Cloud, businesses can automate their sales processes, manage their leads and opportunities, and get real-time insights into their sales performance.
These are the 5 biggest issues that our clients are solving with Sales Cloud in EMEA according to our CEO & Founder, Steffi Kromer, and EMEA Sales Director, Kirk Heuser.
Let's take a closer look at them:
This is quite essential for all sales and marketing teams, keeping track of the history of a client's interactions with the business, including any data exchanges, interactions, or other activities between the business and the client.
The history can be used to review the success of a relationship, identify any issues that may have occurred, and provide insights into the client's usage of the business’ services or products.
Tracking a customer's history in the business is important for better sales and marketing performance because it allows businesses to better understand their customers, their needs, and their preferences. This information can be used to personalise sales and marketing strategies, create targeted campaigns, increase customer loyalty, and optimise the customer experience. It also provides businesses with insight into how their own sales teams are performing and helps identify areas of improvement.
Establishing a close relationship with customers is critical because it can lead to increased customer loyalty, repeat business, and positive referrals.
For B2B sales, this is even more important, because the sales cycle can often be longer and more complex. Building and maintaining these relationships can be difficult, particularly when working with numerous sales representatives, a large number of consumers, and complicated sales procedures.

Sales Cloud provides a centralised platform for managing customer data. Sales reps can get a comprehensive view of their clients, including information on their activity history, important contacts, communications, and internal account discussions.
It also helps to manage opportunities and track leads all the way from prospect to close.
By having all customer data in one place, sales reps can easily access and share information with other team members, ensuring that everyone has a complete and accurate view of the customer's history, needs, and preferences. This can help you provide a more personalised experience for the customer, which can be critical in building a strong relationship.
In sales, consistent follow-ups are crucial. If you are not working many leads, this is an easy task. However,t when it comes to multiple leads that are all at different stages, things will start to fall apart at this point.
This is when Sales Cloud will come to save your day! Sales Cloud includes automated follow-up tools that can help sales reps stay in touch with customers without requiring manual effort.
For example, sales reps can set up automated email campaigns or reminders to follow up with customers after a certain period of time. This ensures that the customer feels supported and valued, even post-sale. By automating follow-up activities, sales reps can focus on building the relationship with the customer, rather than spending time on administrative tasks while ensuring nothing “falls through the gaps”.
Many sales teams are stretched thin by their workload. Shortening sales cycle times & increasing sales velocity are the main goals for every sales team.
Voila! Here is how Sales Cloud can be a powerful tool to get you there:
Visual Workflow's drag-and-drop capability makes it simple to quickly build and automate any business process. Also, use flexible approval procedures to quickly be able to offer discounts, better costs, and more, to help boost success.
Sales Cloud offers mobile access, which allows sales reps to access customer data and sales information from anywhere, at any time. This can be particularly useful when reps are on the go, meeting with customers, or travelling. By having access to critical sales information at their fingertips, sales reps can respond to customer needs more quickly and close deals faster on smartphones, tablets and laptops.
Sales Cloud includes collaboration tools that allow sales teams to work together more efficiently and effectively. This can include sharing information and insights, collaborating on account strategy, and coordinating follow-up activities. By working together, sales reps can provide a more cohesive and personalised experience for the customer, which can help increase sales velocity.
Accurate sales forecasting and reporting are essential for businesses to make informed decisions and allocate resources effectively.
