Where work happens

Slack is a new way for your entire company to communicate. It replaces email with something faster, better organised and more secure. Instead of one-off email chains, all your communication is organised into channels that are easy to create, join and search. When there’s a channel for everything that happens at your company, everyone knows exactly where to go to get work done.

Learn how they harness the power of their workspace to bring together the right teammates, tools, and information to move work forward in style. Whether you’re receiving notifications, responding to approvals, or bonding with your teammates, get an inside look at how to unlock greater speed, efficiency, and connectedness.

Pull back the curtain and see how our internal teams harness Slack and Salesforce Sales Cloud over the entire lifecycle of a sales deal.

To avoid wasting time and money, our reps depend on the combined power of Slack and Salesforce’s Sales Cloud to scale the impact of their sales team while speeding up deal cycles.

In this webinar, learn how to strategize in channels, bring customers inside the workspace with Slack Connect, and use a simple series of workflows and automations to close deals.
