HEALTH CHECKS

Tell us where it hurts
It’s the new fiscal year, and you’re probably getting to know a lot of new (to you) accounts. If you find that your clients aren’t satisfied or getting their full value from Salesforce, FSM can help assess how well they are using the platform with a Health Check. The process starts with a 60-minute call with one of our experts that’s free to businesses that use Salesforce. Just send me an email at greg.sheek@fastslowmotion.com to schedule a call.
OPPORTUNITIES

Private label food and beverage
Private label food and beverage manufacturing has outpaced major brands for the last four years and is projected to grow from 33% of the market to 50% by 2023. In addition, the current high inflation rates may actually present further opportunities for these companies as shoppers look for ways to keep their grocery bills in check.
- Learn about food and beverage trends, the difference between white label and private label, and private label beverage manufacturers in the U.S.
- Use this angle: Focus on how Manufacturing Cloud can help create more accurate business predictions, manage inventory appropriately, and simplify the quoting process.
Machining services
As the manufacturing sector continues to emerge from the pandemic, growth is predicted across various sectors of the machining services market, which is estimated to reach $4.2 B in the U.S. in 2022. CNC machining, laser machining, and the machine tools market are good bets for areas of opportunity.
- Learn about the outlook for CNC machining and CNC machining services suppliers in the U.S.
- Use this angle: Focus on how Salesforce can help level up their sales and marketing processes, helping them better understand, educate, and communicate with potential customers.
Wealth management
The wealth management market is on a healthy trajectory with an expected CAGR of 8% through 2025. Wealth management platforms, in particular, are poised for strong growth as fintech companies seek to give investors more tools to withstand current economic uncertainty.
- Learn and prepare more about the outlook for wealth management, why the huge wealth management market (and other financial sectors) are ripe for disruption, and the wealth management platform market.
