Dreamforce Mini-series Part 3: The Origins of Salesforce+ with Colin Fleming, SVP of Global Brand, Events, Product, Content, & Customer Marketing at Salesforce

“The content we're putting out is not transactional. It's not behind a gate. It's essentially there to help people be better at their jobs as salespeople or marketers or commerce individuals or admins or devs. It's really to help people be better. And we think organically that will help grow the business.” — Colin Fleming
