Sales Cloud platform
Salesforce Sales Cloud is a CRM platform designed to manage the sales, marketing and customer support facets of business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-customer (B2C) engagement strategies.
To aid with new and existing lead management and lead monitoring, users can create custom lead-capture forms, view and access a lead’s most up-to-date contact information in an activity timeline and establish automatic lead routing to ensure that customer engagement and sales personnel receive timely notification of hot leads. Users can also track and analyze marketing campaign data and its impact on lead generation. This data can be viewed and used by sales teams and translated into more effective sales performance.

Do you want to have customers helping one another out? Peer-to-peer communities do just that. Perhaps you want a portal, where your customers can, for example, access account information.
Customer Community: Best for service and marketing use cases (Powerful capabilities for customer service and engagement)
Partner Community: Best for partner and channel management (Empower partners with deal collaboration and productivity tools)
