Top 4 Reasons for Sales Professionals to Attend Dreamforce 2018

You know the feeling. Hours of sitting in a cramped seat leaves you feeling tired, lousy, and stiff. Air travel can be tough on the body. Unsurprisingly, heading to a crowded city center soon after getting out of the airport is usually the last thing on most passengers’ minds… unless they are going to Dreamforce.

Dreamforce is the world’s largest (and probably the most extravagant) technology conference. More than 180,000 people are expected to turn up at Moscone Center between 25 September through 28 September. The attendees will include elite programmers, bigshot executives, high-flying CEOs, and thousands of salespeople like you. A chance to interact with them is the first reason to attend Dreamforce ‘18.

Four reasons sales people should go to Dreamforce 2018.

Although essential, peer-to-peer conversations are rarely the only objective of the participants. Dreamforce means business. You can come home with some really sweet deals if you attend.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”grid” video_bg=””][vc_column dp_animation=””][vc_column_text dp_animation=””]
