As if you’re not counting down already: Dreamforce is just two weeks away! As Seismic’s Director of Sales Operations, I spend a great chunk of my time in Salesforce and am always looking for ways to optimize Salesforce for our sales reps and ensure that they’re getting as much out of it as possible. Luckily, there’s no better place to do just that than Dreamforce! Below are 5 Dreamforce sessions for Salesforce Admins that I’ll be attending, and you should too:
-
