.webp)
Our team attended last months Salesforce Dreamforce event in San Francisco. We visited each stand of the exhibition and collated the top tools, add-ons and Apps for Salesforce users.
Here are our picks in order of the top Salesforce sales enablement apps and tools from this year's event. The winners are:
#1: Skedulo
Integrating natively with Salesforce, Skedulo helps companies transform how they manage and schedule their mobile workforce teams by providing comprehensive management and scheduling functionality to service organisations with teams in the field.
Skedulo Lens takes this a step further by exposing real-time scheduling and availability to end customers on public websites, portals and branded mobile applications.
This closes the loop from the initial moment of service - when a customer requests an interaction with connected customer relationship data - through to service completion and satisfaction.
Furthermore, any company with a mobile workforce can deploy Skedulo Lens for smarter self-service scheduling and a radically enhanced customer experience.
#2: Qotient
Qotient is one of the more innovative and newer tools for Sales Enablement seen at DF. By creating the platform for a Company to deliver the guidelines for the best Sales conversations ( as opposed to content only as many others do) it enables better quality conversations leading to faster advancement through the Sales Cycle.
Its relevance to DF is strong as it provides the salespeople with "one touch" records of the conversation being deposited into SF with the resulting time saving and immediacy of data entry.
Sales and Marketing management get to know in realtime what conversations are being had, about what topics, and how they are resonating ( or not). This incremental and timely knowledge allows them to better drive and manage the sales process.
By improving sales conversation quality the ROI is strong as the closure rates improve with these better conversations.
#3: VisualCue
For Salesforce, VisualCue is a revolutionary data visualisation platform that allows everyone across an organisation to easily monitor performance.
This is accomplished by using the VisualCue Tile, a dynamic 1:1 visual representation of every account, lead, opportunity and sales representative in an organisation.
Each metric for a given Tile is represented by an icon that dynamically shifts in colour to represent it's current status. The status of each metric is then combined to show an unmistakable indicator of overall performance.
#4: Infer
Infer is the #1 Predictive Sales - Marketing Platform which helps businesses identify and target your best prospects with Predictive Scoring, Sales Intelligence, and Account-Based Marketing products.
It leverages proven data science and machine learning to rapidly model the untapped data sitting in enterprises, along with thousands of signals from the web.
Several large enterprises are included in Infer's customer makeup, as well as numerous high growth companies like AdRoll, HubSpot, New Relic, Pandora, ShoreTel, Tableau, Xactly and Zendesk.
Velocify Pulse integrates directly with Salesforce to provide sales reps with automated outreach prioritisation, process-driven workflows and insights that lead to better engagement and conversion rates.
