As a cloud-based software, you have the ability to access your data from anywhere. In the office, or on the go, you can identify real-time results to tailor every interaction. And to record all communications, Salesforce has taken the trouble out of logging sales calls. Log calls directly from a mobile device so everyone knows the leads who still require action.
