At Salesforce we have the pleasure of working with some of the most innovative and exciting small businesses in the world. These small businesses make up the backbone of our company and keep us focused on what really matters: our customers. To showcase some of our incredible small business partners, we've created the Small Business Spotlight series. Each week, we will be profiling a different small business and their advice, experience, and expertise. So stay tuned over the coming weeks to see the amazing businesses that are changing their industries.

Thank you!

As we head towards the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to take a moment to extend gratitude and thanks to our passionate community of Small Business customers. Since Salesforce's inception 15+ years ago, our DNA has always been focused on democratizing software and enabling companies of all shapes and sizes to benefit from Salesforce's incredible solution.  Thank you for helping us take our initial vision of "why can't enterprise computing be as easy to use as shopping on Amazon" to reality.  

Thank you for sharing your stories on a daily basis.  We are the luckiest company in the world. Currently, I run sales for salesforce's Small Business team and every day we feel fortunate to have the opportunity to talk with the most entrepreneurial, resourceful, and creative small businesses in the world. There's nothing more exciting than working with our Small Business customers to learn how we can help you scale as you grow; outsmart the competition; and engage with your customers in new ways.

Thank you for being our best salespeople!  Whether I'm talking to customers at Dreamforce or at one of our regional events, I'm constantly blown away by the passion, knowledge, and expertise that you share with one-another. Over the next month, we hope to see you at one of our twelve local events. While the phone is great, there's nothing better than putting a face to a voice!

Thank you for providing us with your continued positive and constructive feedback.  One of the resources that our customers find most helpful is our Salesforce Success Community.  With close to 1.5M community members, our most successful customers have shared with us that the community is a great forum to share best practices, learn about upcoming releases, provide product feedback/requests, to find jobs, and to identify groups of like minded customers. Our #1 company value is trust, and thank you for inspiring us every day to further earn your trust and help you drive success.

Thank you for running your Small Business with Salesforce. It's exciting to learn about each of your exciting visions and to help you tear down your obstacles to success.  With 2015 on the horizon, we want to invite you to join our upcoming Salesforce Live session on Dec. 10 focused on "How to Grow Sales 25% faster than you planned in 2015".  We're excited to have Aaron Ross, author of Predictive Revenue and Jason Lemkin, Managing Director at Storm Ventures share their amazing ideas.

For our customers, thank you for your continued business.  For our future customers, thank you for the opportunity to earn your trust.
