OPPORTUNITIES
Portable fire extinguishers
When it comes to home emergencies, Americans are most worried about fire, yet three in five don’t own a fire extinguisher. Consumer awareness is growing, however, and is driving demand, along with an increase in regulations requiring the installation of fire extinguishers in commercial spaces and even automobiles. The U.S. market is expected to grow from a value of $1.4B at a CAGR of 8.3% through 2030.

- Use this angle: Focus on the ability of the Salesforce platform to unify all aspects of the business, and create a smooth flow from product manufacturing, to sales, to service.
Cannabis products
It’s hard to miss that the cannabis market is booming right now. The $10.8 billion U.S. cannabis market is expected to grow at a whopping 14.9% CAGR through 2030, with an increasing number of companies entering local markets to meet the increasing demand.
- Learn more about the U.S. cannabis market and the 200 fastest-growing cannabis companies.
- Use this angle: Focus on how Salesforce can provide a scalable platform that can manage personalized customer journeys, unify internal business processes, and maintain inventory and delivery operations for producers and distributors of cannabis products.
Kids’ furniture
The U.S. kids’ furniture market currently stands at an impressive $10.6 billion, with an expected CAGR of 17.8% through 2030. Millennials, who have overtaken Baby Boomers as America’s largest living adult generation, are driving demand as they have children and the need for child-friendly furniture in both home and daycare settings increases.

BONUS INSIGHTS
How to decide
What do 90% of the vendors ultimately chosen by B2B buyers have in common? They were already on a short list before the sales conversation even started. So how does an account exec overcome these types of hidden challenges? This article from Harvard Business Review offers insights that can help realign our thinking and reminds us that, while we have a sales process, buyers have a process too. And theirs is the one that matters most.
