”My Tokara consultant and his team understand me, our Salesforce organization, and us as a company—we need it to be right, but we can’t spend millions of dollars re-architecting our whole organization every time we want to do a project. Now, we are completely in synchronization with zero errors and have a much more robust integration schedule. The team at Tokara has ... exceeded all my expectations.

Sales Cloud Addresses Today’s Top Business Drivers
Critical Findings from Salesforce
‘State of Sales: Insights & Trends’ Survey
Customer Expectations Overwhelm Sales Rep Capacity
Sales reps and teams are able to spend only about 1/3 of their time selling as they struggle to meet increasing customer demands and expectations around delivery of relevant, personalized experiences. Neary 60% anticipate missing their quotas.
Data-Driven Decisions on the Rise
Traditional “soft skills” aspects of forecasting and sales are giving way to pure data-driven methods, with 2x as many reps relying on quantifiable “propensity to buy” data over intuition to analyze, forecast, and prioritize leads.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Adoption Poised to Spike
While functional AI adoption in sales remains in early stages, AI-powered teams are growing in size rather than shrinking. Sales leadership predicts a growing AI footprint and adoption increases of 155% by 2020.
“Face-to Face” Flags as Teams Focus on Virtual Interactions
Increasing reliance of customers and prospects on online data and interactions over traditional sales calls/meetings continues to rise, with reps spending more than 3x as much time engaged in “virtual” interactions as “face-to-face” meetings. Hiring within sales teams reflects this shift toward inside roles and functions.
Connection & Collaboration Take Center Stage
Top teams are smashing silos, fueled by rising expectations and demands by customers and prospects for ever-more relevant, connected, and customized information and experiences across departments and channels. More than 80% of teams cite centralized, connected visibility into data across the customer journey as critical to sales success.
