Salesforce is the dominant enterprise CRM platform. Sales Cloud (now sold as Suites plus Core/Advanced/Max editions) manages leads, accounts, opportunities, forecasting, and increasingly Agentforce AI. List prices are published per user/month; real enterprise deals often include add-ons (Data Cloud, Premier Success, industry clouds) negotiated with sales. Hub of most B2B RevOps stacks.
