Salesforce helps small businesses all over the world do more business, better. More and more small businesses are benefiting from the incredible, growth-driving capabilities of a small business CRM. Whether you’re on your own, maintain a small staff, or are adding new employees every month, Salesforce has a small business CRM solution to help you find new customers and prospects faster, win more customers, keep customers happier, and be ready to grow.

In 2013, Dreamforce showcased Salesforce small business customer Trunk Club. In Campground West, attendees got to see how Trunk Club gets better customer insights using Salesforce Platform apps that give the company’s stylists insight into member likes and dislikes, or which fabrics and styles best suit them. And, did you know that since the Dreamforce ’13, Trunk Club sold their startup to Nordstrom for $350 million dollars? Not bad for a company less than seven years old. Brian Spaly, Trunk Club’s CEO, initially decided to use Salesforce so he could innovate quickly without wasting time managing servers or being distracted from his business idea.

Successful entrepreneurs, startup experts, investors, and some of the biggest names in technology share real strategies and best practices at Dreamforce, to help you launch and accelerate your business.

Are you a company under 100 people, doing more, with less, and growing your business the way you want? We want to learn more, and help set you on an astounding trajectory! Enter the Small Business Big Impact contest and have a chance to win. Enter today and you could be one of the “Salesforce 10” to win a free trip to Dreamforce this September. Five finalists will pitch their business to a panel of celebrity judges and industry insiders. One lucky business will walk away with the grand prize worth more than $50,000.

Contest winners will share many of the same qualities that we, as a company, hold, and also what top SMB customers like Zero Motorcycles, Inspirato, One Kings Lane, and TOMS value. We want to hear how your company upholds these criteria:

  1. Innovative product or service offering
  2. Positive impact on your customers, employees and/or community
  3. Whether you’re prepared to be a Small Business Ambassador or mentor to other small businesses

Salesforce is looking for small businesses that are changing the world and the game in their field. If you feel your business has a wide and positive reach for both your customers and community, then go ahead and enter: Small Business Big Impact Contest. And don’t forget to tweet a picture of your business with the hashtag: @salesforce #bigimpactcontest.

You have until August 21 to enter. Top 10 winners will then be announced on September 1. The top 10 will then go to Dreamforce in San Francisco on September 15–18 where the semi-finalists and grand winner will be decided.
