Cloud software program large Salesforce is seeking to rent hundreds of recent salespeople to promote its AI instruments to clients.
The firm plans to rent 2,000 new gross sales representatives, in keeping with CNBC, which cited remarks from CEO Marc Benioff at an organization occasion Tuesday. This doubles the hiring plans that Benioff shared with Bloomberg final month. Benioff stated that Salesforce has already obtained 9,000 referrals for these 2,000 positions.
This bulking up comes simply months earlier than the corporate plans to launch the second technology of its AI agent software program in February.
Benioff not too long ago stated on TechCrunch’s Equity podcast that he expects Salesforce can have greater than a billion brokers operating within the subsequent 12 months. Regarding generative AI typically, Benioff added, “I’ve by no means been extra enthusiastic about something at Salesforce, possibly in my profession.”
