Pendo is now available on the Salesforce AppExchange: Here’s what it means for you

If you’re reading this, chances are you use Salesforce. We use and love it here at Pendo—and it’s been a powerful tool to help us scale. But as a user, the amount of features available in the platform, and the processes you need to follow to use it effectively, can get confusing. In our experience, this is something a lot of revenue operations leaders struggle with: Unlocking the true power of Salesforce, and helping their teams use it the right way.

Pendo for employees functions as a digital adoption solution. Layering Pendo on top of Salesforce helps employees better adopt sales processes, and helps them learn how to use Salesforce to achieve business goals. Pendo also ensures employees are using Salesforce the right way by helping transformation and operations teams understand how work happens. It then enables them to provide the right guidance, to the right employees, at the right time. 

Finally, Pendo ensures employees are using all the tools at their disposal. It does this by sitting on top of your Salesforce instance. Once deployed via browser extension, Pendo can help you drive adoption. It can also support cross-app processes within and across your sales tech stack, allowing sales teams to be more effective and get more strategic face time with customers.

We see a lot of our customers using Pendo specifically for Salesforce. And after talking to the Salesforce team, it was clear we could partner even more closely with them. We wanted to make it easier for more of their customers to experience the value of Pendo. 

To this end, Pendo has pre-tagged common pages and features within Salesforce. This ensures that you’re able to collect analytics on how employees use Salesforce right out of the box. Once you deploy the extension, you need to understand the processes that run your sales organization. And if you want to optimize your sales tech stack, you need to understand how licenses are being used—to see where there is high or low engagement with the software, and determine how you can improve it. 

Pendo provides the data you need to make those decisions.
