Having your sales, service, and marketing organizations work together creates a 360-degree view of the customer. At Dreamforce, we bring these organizations together, with our core products: Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and ExactTarget Marketing Cloud. Here’s how you can come experience them at Dreamforce:
1. Real-Time Campground Involvement
The Product Campground is your one-stop shop for deep dives on every Salesforce product. And as always, the Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud will be front and center, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to learn.
Service Cloud
For the fourth year in a row, Gartner has named Service Cloud as the #1 customer service app, and in the Dreamforce Campground you’ll see why. At the center of the Campground will be a live Customer Engagement Center providing real-time support for all Dreamforce attendees. With help embedded into the Dreamforce mobile app, attendees will be able to access multi-channel support across email, phone, chat, social, and communities. The Campground will also highlight our complete solution suite with deep dive demos led by product experts, as well as an SOS Kiosk, where attendees will be able to live video chat with Salesforce support agents.
No time to make it back to Moscone in between sessions? The new Service Hub at the Westin St. Francis will include areas to network, SOS kiosks, additional demo areas, Circles of Success—and, of course, great opportunities to network in a VIP Lounge and meeting area.
Sales Cloud
The Sales Cloud will be front and center in the Product Campground. Check out four life-sized devices playing real time demos. In theater sessions, you’ll be given alternative ways to explore the mobile experience, and even jump on the back of a Zero Motorcycle to see how awesome you look. You’ll see demos on how to generate more leads, grow your pipeline, increase productivity and gain business insights. We’ll get into all of these in our demos and at our brand new “Mobile Bar” where you can ask specialists all your questions.
And, Sales Cloud will have their own hub as well: The Sell Hub will also include their buddies from Work.com, Pardot, Data.com and RelateIQ. There will of course be demos and networking, and additionally, interactive games and a chance to get to know Zero Motorcycles up close and personal.
ExactTarget Marketing Cloud
