Salesforce has announced the general availability of Slack Sales Elevate, which integrates Sales Cloud with Slack to create a personalized sales home that centralizes information, simplifies processes and automates administrative tasks.
Built on Slack’s platform and powered by Salesforce data, Slack Sales Elevate will help companies boost productivity and transform the way sales teams work together and win.
Slack Sales Elevate gives sales teams the correct tools and automations, allowing them to keep the entire team aligned on deal movements with instant account updates, close deals faster with AI-powered workflows, focus on what matters most with a personalized sales home and drive efficient processes at scale with best practices.
Rob Seaman, SVP of product at Slack, said: “Bringing Sales Cloud into Slack and providing new sales productivity tools and automations in Slack helps sellers save time and access the right people and information to make better decisions.
“A Slack-based approach to selling will make it easier than ever for Sales Cloud customers to focus on the work that matters: working with customers and closing deals.”
In addition to this announcement, Salesforce has also revealed the general availability of Starter, an all-in-one CRM app bringing sales, service and marketing capabilities together to help small and growing businesses manage customer relationships, centralize key data and grow more efficiently.
With Starter small businesses can expect to: generate more leads, win more customers and keep customers content thanks to the app’s guided onboarding, reporting templates, pre-built dashboards, unified customer data and built-in AI.
Kris Billmaier, GM of Salesforce Starter, said: “Small businesses commonly find CRM systems overly complex and difficult to set up, customize and use effectively. They often struggle integrating their CRM with existing sales, service and marketing tools, especially if they use multiple tools or have outdated software that’s hard to connect to the rest of their tech stack. And as businesses scale, they easily outgrow lightweight CRM systems, requiring costly migrations to a different CRM platform.
“With Starter, we reimagined the entire user experience to help companies avoid complex setup and expensive, time-intensive implementations. Customers get up and running fast with a complete view of their business across sales, service and marketing.
“Unlike other lightweight CRM platforms, Starter is built for growth. It allows you to find, win and keep customers – for life. It scales as you scale and grows as you do. You never outgrow Salesforce.”
