Sales Cloud is offered at various licence levels and on top of your chosen edition, you can enhance your org with a range of Sales Cloud add-ons. Here’s a list of key add-ons and what each brings to the table:



Salesforce Maps

Salesforce maps

  • Visualise accounts, opportunities and any Salesforce object on an interactive map, to understand geographic distribution and better plan visits.

  • Route optimisation and scheduling: calculate travel time, plan efficient

    field-rep routes and reduce time on the road.

  • Real-time location tracking, geo-fencing and activity logging for field visits (check-in/check-out) through mobile interface.

  • Shape layers and boundaries: define zones (e.g., “within 30-minute drive”) and filter records accordingly.

  • Aggregated analytics of mapped data: sum/average/min/max on records within a boundary to spot clusters or under-penetrated areas.


Territory Planning


  • Design and optimise sales territories visually using map-based tools, balancing coverage, geography and account distribution.

  • Compare different territory alignment scenarios to identify gaps or overlaps in coverage.

  • Import and publish optimized territories into Salesforce, manage assignments and rep coverage inside Salesforce.

  • Better sales and service efficiency through more equitable territory workloads and improved coverage allocation.

Experience Cloud


  • Build brand-able portals, websites or communities for customers, partners or employees using CRM data.

  • Seamless integration with core CRM data so you can surface accounts, cases, knowledge base or opportunities in a digital experience.

  • Low-code drag-and-drop builder enables non-developers to create experiences quickly and customise the look and feel.


Sales Dialer

Sales Dialer

  • Built-in telephony inside Salesforce: make calls, log activity, click-to-dial from records and tie voice activities directly into CRM.

  • Call-tracking, analytics of calls, voicemail drop, automatic logging of call outcomes, better visibility into outreach.

  • Ideal for inside sales teams who rely on voice and need integrated call workflows rather than separate dialler tools.


Einstein Conversational Insights


  • Conversational intelligence: transcribe and analyse sales calls or meetings (even uploads) to surface objections, pricing discussion, negotiation signals.

  • Automatically trigger dashboards or alerts based on call content – e.g., if a competitor is mentioned, flag the opportunity.

  • Insights into trends in sales conversations so you can coach reps, improve scripts, identify bottlenecks.


Sales Programs

Salesforce programs

  • Structured enablement programmes embedded into the flow of work: define seller missions, outcomes, track progress against those.

  • Help raise seller productivity with guided programmes built on top of your CRM (rather than separate LMS).

  • Ideal to standardise best practices, ramp up new hires, and provide visibility into seller habits and outcomes.


Sales Engagement


  • Email productivity & workflow automation: send personalised emails, calendar scheduling, quick cadences for outreach.

  • Sales cadences (pre-built sequences of calls/emails/tasks) to automate and standardise outreach flows.

  • Call & email intelligence: track opens, clicks, replies; integrate with call logs, dashboard of activity, prioritise leads.

  • Essential for inside/SDR teams who need structured high-volume engagement inside Salesforce.


Sales Planning


  • Build and optimise sales plans: allocate headcount, quotas, budget and territories, all inside Salesforce.

  • Data-driven planning: use CRM data to populate plans automatically, avoid manual spreadsheets and data transcription errors.

  • Centralised plan library: track historical and in-progress plans, audit changes, maintain alignment across the organisation.

  • Intelligent assignment: balance reps, territories, accounts and metrics through automation rather than manual spreadsheets.


Performance Management Suite


  • Enable seller performance tracking: dashboards of seller metrics, goal tracking, analytics of behaviours and results.

  • Compensation & incentive visibility: allow sellers to see how they’re tracking against rewards and targets.

  • Combined with Sales Planning, it gives a full view from target-setting through to performance and payout.


CPQ (Configure-Price-Quote)


  • Automate the quoting process: product configuration, pricing rules, discounting, approvals, reducing errors and cycle time.

  • Ensure quotes are accurate and aligned with business rules (bundling, constraints, approvals) so you reduce risk and improve margins.

  • Integrates with billing and order management (especially when combined with Revenue Cloud) for end-to-cash processes.


Revenue Cloud


  • Builds on CPQ and goes further: manage full revenue lifecycle from quote, order, contract, billing, revenue recognition.

  • Optimise revenue operations (RevOps) by aligning sales, finance and operations around one platform for revenue lifecycle.

  • Advanced capabilities for subscription/usage-based models, renewals, and complex monetisation strategies.
