Salesforce for SMBs: The New Essentials
While attending the Dreamforce 2019 Conference in San Francisco, Ramon got to talk with Eric Bensley, VP of SMB Product Marketing at Salesforce. Since our main focus and interest is everything SMB, Eric was the perfect person to chat with about how Salesforce can utilized by small business owners.
Marketing Advice for SMBs
Jack of all trades, expert at none — this is not how you want your business to be known. Sure it’s good to be able to do a few things well, but Eric suggests finding and focusing on one thing your business does better than anyone else, and honing in on that. At least to start.
Getting clear on your value proposition means being able to clearly explain what you do best in just one or two sentences. Keeping it clear, concise, and to the point means that anyone listening will hear only the important facts, and nothing will get lost in excess words.
Once you feel good about your value proposition, the rest of your marketing can be based around that, and forming a brand becomes easy.
