Check out five pro-tips from the SalesforceIQ Customer Success team to get started:
- Bookmark login.salesforce.com — this is where you'll log in to your Sales Cloud org with your username (typically your work email address) and password.
- Constantly on the go? Make sure you and your team also downloads the Salesforce Mobile App (available on Android and iOS devices).
- Enable Inbox and Einstein Activity Capture. Inbox is a suite of productivity apps that allows you to bring Sales Cloud to your email clients. Use Einstein Activity Capture to connect your email to Salesforce and automatically add emails and calendar events to related Salesforce records (this is very similar to the feature where your emails and calendar events show up in the Stream view in SalesforceIQ CRM.
