About the Sales Cloud in General
The Sales Cloud is suitable both for larger and smaller companies and its main objective is to bring solutions, to promote the sales area, and in particular to achieve that it functioned as effectively as possible.
The Sales Cloud Platform could be compared to a social network, where each member of the team can share, but also make use of real-time information on all devices, regardless of what place s/he is right now.

Thanks to the fact, that Salesforce offers support in the cloud, when introducing the Sales Cloud (or any other product), any additional requirements for the purchase of hardware or software installation are not required.
Of course, it offers a mobile display, making it possible to carry your office with you anywhere and be constantly in touch with the information relating to the customers, opportunities, and reports.
The Interface of the Sales Cloud is fully customizable.
Salesforce additionally offers its clients a variety of price packages. Everyone can thus choose what s/he wants to use and how. Existing customers appreciate especially the intuitive control, which is easy to become familiar with right from the introduction.
Sales Cloud features that you will appreciate
Collects all customer data
Managing customer service can be easy with the Sales Cloud. It collects information about your customers and provides you retrospectively with access to data about your contacts, communication history, and comments on your services so that you can always be ready. Thanks to the cloud, this information is accessible to each team member.

All processes can thus be controlled, in addition to it, only those factors that are relevant – concrete products, prices, etc. – will provide the input. In the Sales Cloud, you will also be able to easily create personalized emails and responses for a particular customer, but also effectively evaluate opportunities for further growth.

Saving Time
Communication in a large team can be difficult. Deal with everything in one place with a colleague, who is currently across the globe and interact with several members of the team at a time. Each of you will then have insight into what is going on.
Integration with Google and Microsoft through AppExchange
App Exchange is similar to the Google Play or Apple Store an app marketplace. The AppExchange has apps that are customized Salesforce interface products.
Specifically, for the Sales Cloud, you can download and install Cirrus Insight, which makes it possible to link it to Gmail or Google Calendar. As a result, tedious switching between the Sales Cloud environment and Google will no longer be required, which significantly saves time for all team members.
A similar application is also the Outlook Integration from the ContactMonkey, which in turn connects the Salesforce with Outlook. As with Cirrus Insight, here it is also possible to create e-mail templates, in which, by few clicks, you can create a specific email for a particular situation or client. Such function exactly copies the one that is the interface of the Sales Cloud. If you send a lot of emails every day, it will significantly save time.
Assess what suits you
Although Salesforce enables its clients to use multiple applications and products, it is not always recommended to integrate everything. Sales Cloud, as one of these instruments, has its internal layout, allowing you even within its scope, to put together the ideal combination. Salesforce offers a variety of packages.
The basic ones, for example, start at $ 25 per month (which is approximately 23 euros).

Such specialists can, on the basis of a business audit suggest what tools and applications you should use within the optimization of all processes.
