A product sales company is built on 2 core objectives – Acquiring new customers and retaining existing customers. And retailers across the world understand that retaining existing customers is the single most important criteria for growth and success. They need customers to keep coming back for more.
One of the primary goals of eCommerce businesses is to better understand their customers and deliver an engaging buying experience that compels them to come back for more. Customers are demanding and rightly so, with so many options available in the online marketplace, and as they reveal more and more about themselves, they also expect a more personalized buying experience in return. When your customers trust your business and have an exceptional buying experience, it makes it easier to achieve that second objective of retaining existing customers through a bouquet of upselling and cross-selling.
Cloud is the new normal
Retailers, big or small, are today rapidly deploying cloud-based commerce storefronts to transform the way they sell, enabling them to close the innovation gap, and deliver on demanding consumer expectations. Retailers today, have accepted as a norm that Cloud is the way forward. However, with many cloud-based options available in the marketplace, the cloud commerce landscape can be difficult to navigate. This is where the role of a Salesforce Consulting Partner becomes important.
Say hello to Salesforce Commerce Cloud
Salesforce Commerce Cloud is a unified, agile commerce platform developed on the world’s #1 CRM. With a plethora of eCommerce-ready tools and features, Salesforce Commerce Cloud will empower you to deliver rich, personalised and engaging shopping experiences to your customers and enable you to leapfrog your competition.
Commerce Cloud is designed to engage your customers in a whole new way. By creating a unified online and offline intelligence-driven commerce experience with a mobile-first approach. Engage with customers with a plethora of tools and features and foster one to one in-store journeys to enable customers to make purchase decisions based on context of the moment. Commerce Cloud personalises all aspects of the buying experience. Customers can buy anywhere, receive anywhere, and get serviced anywhere. With Commerce Cloud retailers can deliver amazing journeys through commerce, marketing, and service. Deliver commerce experiences that customers love. Here’s a look at the key drivers for success in eCommerce.
5 Key business drivers for deploying your store on the cloud:
Growth
Growth is the primary goal for retailers. Retailers and Brands need an infrastructure that can handle high traffic, surges in transaction volumes, virtually endless product catalogues, and flash sales. The scalability needs of that infrastructure should be such that it can serve the needs of the business 5 years into the future. As business grows, your commerce platform needs to keep up. Commerce Cloud offers the power and flexibility that new-age adopters need to fast track growth in today’s extremely competitive landscape.
Branded Innovation
Consumers today engage in comparison shopping. They don’t just shop just for the assortment. They shop for an experience. They compare top eCommerce stores for a compelling and engaging experience. To meet buyer expectations, retailers and brands must bring to market unique, compelling, brand experiences. Successful brands are continuously evolving to stay ahead of the competition. While deploying unique online shopping experiences, these retail entrepreneurs require a cloud platform that embraces innovation.
Time to Market
With each delay in the launch of a new online store, there comes a potential loss in revenue and customer satisfaction. In today’s business context, where Go Digital is the first choice, retailers and brands simply don’t have time to lose. Ecommerce engages a borderless world and presents tremendous opportunities to retailers and brands that go far beyond traditional borders. Commerce Cloud is a solution that can accelerate time to market across all channels on a unified platform and deliver success.
Site Speed
Speed is critical to providing a great shopping experience, especially when one is mobile. Consumers use smartphones more than ever, but if content doesn’t load quickly, they will bounce. Moreover, search engines factor content load speed into their ranking, Consequently, slow content loading may jeopardize potential sales. Commerce Cloud, by virtue of being built on the world’s no1 CRM platform, is a top-tier enterprise architecture grade platform that delivers content at the pace at which consumers expect.
Unified Shopping Experiences
Shoppers expect an engaging shopping experience across the entire journey, including marketing, commerce, and service. As shoppers engage with brands in many different ways, and in many cases, the technology supporting multiple sales channels operate independently. Consequently, leading to multiple sources of information and disconnected data. Salesforce Commerce Cloud delivers a shared view of customers, orders, products, and behaviour to provide a single unified view of the customer.
Commerce Cloud delivers a full-service feature stack to retailers to send their business into overdrive.

Cloud computing has been around for almost two decades and despite its advantages like business efficiency, cost-benefit, and enhanced productivity, a significant portion of the business community continues to operate without it. According to a report published by Dell, companies that invest in cloud technology, mobile first apps, big data, and security reap up to 53% faster revenue growth than their competition. As is evident, an increasing number of businesses are acknowledging the benefits of adopting cloud-computing technology. Salesforce Consultants around the world today are empowering organizations to run more efficiently and they are able to serve their customers better, and significantly improve their top line.
As the planet’s economy explodes with digital data, it is becoming more and more challenging for individuals and businesses to keep all of their vital information, records, programs, processes and systems up and running on in-house servers. The costs are too high. Not only of the tech infrastructure but also of maintenance and support.
With a humble beginning as a Software As A Service (SaaS) Company, Salesforce today is the world’s pioneer in Cloud Computing Technology. So why is Salesforce the World’s preferred platform for on-the-cloud apps for businesses. It’s because it brings sustainability, user-friendliness and flexibility as a fraction of the cost to users and compels businesses to adopt this new way of doing business.
One of the key reasons why Salesforce is so successful is that offers a mechanism to convert a business process or a new idea into an app in the fastest possible way. Instead of spending tons of money, time and resources on infrastructure, you can focus on building and deploying apps that mirror your ideas and processes. New apps can be deployed in a matter of days, something that was unthinkable a decade ago.
Let’s look at the top 6 reasons why Enterprises are embracing Salesforce to drive productivity and growth:
Cross-functional insights and reporting.
Data is at the heart of a digital economy today and it’s available from a number of resources: social media, analytics, business apps and Data Archives. For it to be useful however, it needs to be cleaned up, sorted, analysed, and made actionable for stakeholder teams, who have a unified view of the customer and all the customer’s information.
Nowadays most businesses use social media and rely on interaction metrics from those platforms. Google Analytics is another important tool many businesses use to monitor their traffic and engagement levels. However, this data alone does not translate into business intelligence. You need a robust CRM solution that can consolidate all this data and present a holistic view of your customers’ needs. You can use your CRM platform to aggregate, organize, and customize data suited to unique needs of every concerned department. Business owners can empower their users to adopt a customer centric approach, enabling them to make decisions keeping them front and center.

Actionable dashboards.
Traditional solutions require using spreadsheets or disparate systems to manage customer relationships and typically require manual handling of data. This makes figuring out what’s important a challenge, and does not provide an overview with historical context. They don’t provide a full picture of a customer relationship to derive relevant insights. Salesforce does most of this for you. Once you’ve invested in the platform, you can take advantage of another benefit of the World’s most popular CRM platform, the dashboard. You can set up a personalised dashboard for every user to help translate insight into action.
Effortless collaboration.
Salesforce keeps a record of conversations, interactions, notes, and contacts— all key components to creating customer-centric experiences. With this up to date information, users can easily access updated records from anywhere. Salesforce has built-in collaboration tools that allow multiple users to work on one file simultaneously or follow the progress of a document, allowing shorter response times to customer requests.
All your authorised CRM users can work together through this shared record. All stakeholder teams across departments teams work together seamlessly without having to worry about siloed information.
Salesforce’s collaboration platform Slack lets teams communicate and collaborate effortlessly in real time. Conversations come together, information can be accessed easily, collaboration is effortless, and all your favourite apps are at one place.
With Slack:
Users can effortlessly share what they are working on and get organization wide visibility on what’s going on.
Users can join public or private channels, and get access to latest topics and solve problems collaboratively.
Teams can collaborate on an account or opportunity, using information that's easily accessible and updatable right from within Slack.
Businesses can get insights and reminders to augment productivity of sales teams.
Apart from being an incredible way for people to collaborate, irrespective of location, Slack offers a unique and distinct competitive edge for sales teams.
Process Optimization.
Salesforce offers effortless automation of repetitive tasks and standard workflows and processes.
Shorten the time it takes to nurture leads with drip campaigns
Consistent, customer-centric interactions across concerned departments and prompt customer service through personalized automated communication.
Tagging leads using custom parameters that can be either manually set or with built-in AI, so teams can better prioritize which qualified leads can convert to customers
Marketing can spend time creating audience centric campaigns designed for optimal effectiveness using analytics. Sales can focus on optimizing their strategy for pushing products or services, commerce can focus on creating personalised purchase experiences to drive growth, Customer Service personnel can focus on resolving customer issues with personalised attention. Eventually, all translates to an organization working efficiently like a well-oiled machine to better serve its customer.
Leveraged Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The coolest feature of Salesforce is AI which has proved to be incredibly beneficial in improving automated workflows, processes, discovering insights and to make predictions. Having a powerful platform is one thing but the power to derive insight from data to drive decision making is what makes Salesforce a uniquely beneficial proposition for enterprises.
Einstein Discovery is one such feature in Salesforce which comprises of powerful AI and machine learning algorithms which analyse and learn the workflows and habits of customers. Additionally, it uses data science to offer predictions and qualify leads to provide customer centric recommendations.
Limitless Customization
Yes, Salesforce has literally endless customizability, which makes it the most loved CRM platform. You can make easy customizations using:
Point-and-Click Features
AppExchange for creating mobile-ready apps that are ready to talk to each other
