Expanded offering highlights Salesforce’s commitment to building the largest and most successful community of sales professionals
The Salesblazer Community is one of the fastest-growing communities of sales professionals, helping millions advance their careers and drive sales excellence worldwide.
Today, Salesforce added new capabilities to provide real-time collaboration using Slack, empowering members to connect, engage, and share best practices. With today’s launch, sellers can now:
- Network with sales professionals based on their roles.
- Keep up with the latest job postings and events.
- Get advice in real time on challenges they’re facing today.
The additional capabilities build upon the successful April 2023 launch of Salesblazer.com, a learning and community hub featuring content from hundreds of sales thought leaders, free sales training courses, and invites to exclusive in-person and online community events. In the past year, Salesblazer.com has reached more than 8 million people across web, social, newsletter, community, learning, and event platforms.
Why it matters: Lack of advancement opportunities has long been one of the top reasons why sales professionals consider leaving their jobs. Salesforce’s Salesblazer initiative, modeled after the proven Trailblazer platform, seeks to help remedy this issue by building, connecting, and advancing the largest and most successful community of sales professionals.
Salesforce perspective: “We are in a digital-first, AI-comes-standard world, and many sales professionals are left on their own to figure things out. The Salesblazer Community is the next evolution of our commitment to support our users throughout their entire career. Salesblazer aims to foster the largest-ever community for sales professionals to learn and grow their careers, all while connecting with industry peers. It’s a game changer.” — Ketan Karhkanis, EVP and GM, Sales Cloud
