Welcome to SFDCGo!
Salesforce is game-changing technology, with a host of productivity-boosting features, that will help you sell smarter and faster. As you work toward your badge for this module, we’ll take you through these features and answer the question, “What is Salesforce, anyway?”
Salesforce has everything you need to run your business from anywhere. Using standard products and features, you can manage relationships with prospects and customers, collaborate and engage with employees and partners, and store your data securely in the cloud.

If your data is stored in spreadsheets, hidden in emails or text messages, or pinned to your bulletin board, it’s hard to get the full picture of your prospective customer. And you certainly can’t access the data from anywhere, anytime, nor can your manager or executives see your progress on deals in flight, at least not without calling you for a status update.
Salesforce takes all of that important data and organizes it into a simple user interface. It’s one place for you to:
Simply put, Salesforce is one place for you to do stuff. And because it’s stored on our secure cloud, you can access your data anytime, anywhere, whether you’re on desktop or mobile.
When everything’s in Salesforce, you don’t need to worry about the note you left on your desk, or a file you have stored on your hard drive. You can find everything you need simply by logging in.
