It’s a Salesforce Community Party!

The Salesforce community is growing at a rapid pace, with over 1 Million members in the success community it’s only picking up pace. In order to keep up with all the great work that the community is doing the Salesforce team is growing and we want to introduce you to the team that supports us in the community. In addition to talking to the new staff we also talk about how Salesforce has moved the Dreamforce Community to the Success Community. And the massive innovation of moving Erica’s team to products because we are all passionate about Salesforce products.
