Learning Salesforce

- Without a doubt, if you're in sales, you are managing and tracking your customers' data. Not only are you tracking names, email addresses and phone numbers, but you're researching background information, tracking annual revenues, monitoring product releases, and reading current news. And all of that can be overwhelming. To track all of this information, you need a customer relationship management tool. And by far, the gold standard for CRM tools is Salesforce. My name is Christine Pereira, and I've been using Salesforce for over 15 years.

I've used Salesforce at large Fortune 500 companies and at small 10-person start-ups. And during that time, I've managed thousands of deals and closed millions of dollars in sales. In this course we'll review the Salesforce basics of managing accounts, contacts, opportunities, and leads. I'll show you how to create leads and convert them into opportunities. And show you how to manage all of your tasks within Salesforce. We'll also set up simple reports and show you how to create a dashboard to track your sales pipeline.

Now I'll admit, Salesforce can at first look overwhelming, but it's a really easy-to-use tool that was built with salespeople like you in mind. I'm excited to walk you through the basics. Let's get started.
