Ever been curious about the return on investment your competitors are getting from their technology investments? While the sales acceleration ROI story is one we at Revenue.io hear every single day, many companies are still trying to make sense of how best to use sales technology (let alone how to measure ROI!). Both questions are well […]

So you’re going to Dreamforce. Aside from customer or partner meetings you may have, there’s also a seemingly endless assortment of  attractive events and activities. How do you choose where to spend your valuable time? Having attended every Dreamforce since 2008, I know more than anyone how difficult it is to plan your schedule. The quality […]

It’s almost time for Dreamforce again, and this year I’m honored to be moderating two panels that are filled with top sales experts from some of the world’s most successful enterprise and growth-stage companies. Both panels are scheduled for Tuesday October 4, with each addressing a vital challenge that sales teams face today. Our first session is called Selling Globally: […]

If you think of your entire sales organization as a car, then that car’s engine is your sales operations team. Even though it can’t be seen by drivers, it is working constantly to propel your sales teams forward to their goal. Your sales operations team’s job is not only to help sales run smoothly, but […]

But we went about that task with the confidence that there was one critical element we didn’t have to worry about: finding high-quality voice carriers for […]

As a Salesforce Administrator you are a jack of all trades. You are in charge of writing an advanced cross-object formula to the mundane task of helping an employee reset their password. As an #awesomeadmin your toolkit should include knowledge about telephony and computer telephony integration (a.k.a. CTI) in Salesforce. Here’s what you need to […]

Earlier this year, the Revenue.io product team rolled out international local presence dialing to an expanded list of countries, making it far easier for reps in Europe and elsewhere to have more conversations when calling from one country to the next. Now we’ve taken it one step further by enabling reps to add a preset for the country […]

However, before adding a new tool, it’s important to make sure it will play well with your other applications. Here are seven […]
