eli5 what is salesforce?

145 views

Service member here possibly getting out next year. Bunch of options on the table and one of them is the possibility to earn free certifications from Salesforce. I grew up in the SF Bay Area, so I am familiar with the company, but I honestly have no idea what they actually do or what these certifications would be, or why they would even be useful. I realize this is probably a very vague question, but I guess just looking for an overall scope of what they do.

Solution Architect here. The short answer is their bread and butter is their sales cloud, which is used by sales teams to – you guessed it – sell. But there is also a service cloud (for customer issues) so you can have an entire CRM solution, including a community so you can engage with your customers. They keep acquiring and adding new things so they now have health and financial clouds.

It’s a great time to work with Salesforce as there are a lot of open positions within the community.

Edited to add: I completely forgot, there’s also an entire non-profit solution that I know very little about.
