Sales Champions create a unique sales presentation around one of their existing Salesforce wins that demonstrates their expertise and provides a strong go-to-market message, with a Why Change, Why Now, Why Salesforce & Why the Partner to accelerate pipeline development, solve our customers’ business challenges and land bigger projects, faster.
Congratulations to our latest AMER Sales Champions, Sunil Kumar Andrews Katuri and Carmen Savage, who have demonstrated sales leadership in the Salesforce partner ecosystem, driving digital transformations across industry and horizontal challenges.
Let’s hear their first-hand experience,
“The Salesforce Partner Champion program has been an excellent investment in my professional development. It provided a
comprehensive education in Salesforce products, sales strategies, and industry-specific knowledge, enabling me to better
serve my clients and drive success in the Salesforce ecosystem” - Carmen Savage, Account Manager.
"It was a valuable learning experience to witness how Salesforce conducts its sales operations. One of the most eye-opening realizations was that the greatest competition isn't necessarily from other companies but rather stems from the customers' choice to maintain the status quo and endure existing challenges.
This insight is fascinating as it can be applied not only in the business world but also in various aspects of life in general."
- Sunil Kumar Andrews Katuri, Business Development Manager.
