Salesforce has become synonymous with customer relationship management (CRM) by this point. It's the planet's most-used, most talked-about, and most lucrative CRM platform, generating an eye-watering $21.25 billion in the 2021 fiscal year alone. That's higher than the GDP of some countries.

To solve our biggest issues, we don’t have a choice but to get together and create joint, interwoven solutions.
