The FT is the first news provider to create a news feed app for Salesforce. The app is free to download from the Salesforce AppExchange and can be used on any desktop or mobile device running the site. It is fully integrated into Salesforce, meaning users will automatically see topical headlines and can click through to FT.com for the full story.
Caspar de Bono, managing director B2B, said: “Many of our corporate customers already use the FT as a way to improve their sales and account management performance, using FT content as a catalyst for conversations with prospects and customers. Successful sales organisations show the best way to secure business is to demonstrate a deep understanding of a customer’s business and sector, insight Salesforce customers can now receive easily and instantly through the FT News Feed App. By integrating key industry news into their workflow they can stay informed of the changes affecting their customers, ultimately supporting more effective sales and sustainable business relationships.”
