My Favorite (Mostly Dreamforce) Articles This Week

Dreamforce, Dreamforce, Dreamforce… Can’t really think of anything else nowadays, as the tension rises. This is why this week’s list will focus mostly on the upcoming Salesforce-fest. But don’t worry, found a couple of other interesting topics worth mentioning.

1. Salesforce’s Most Successful Salesman Made Tons of Money By Following This Secret Playbook

The first article in line made its way to this list because, aside from the amusing backstory, it provides a rare glimpse at the inner-workings of the Salesforce Company. The aforementioned “playbook” actually helps to understand some of the steps that Benioff &co. have taken in the past couple of years and why they took them. Truly an interesting read.

Speaking of Dreamforce- my next pick is not the usual type of articles I tend to mention, and I’m not even sure it qualifies as an article… but if Salesforce’s blog takes the time to advise you (IT professionals or people interested in IT) on where you should go, you might want to take a couple of notes.
