Why Connect Salesforce

• Salesforce can continue to be your system of record as you leverage seamless direct mail sending.
• You can also easily use Postal’s Chrome extension in the Salesforce lead/contact level to send Postals
• Salesforce will continue to own the information in Postal, so as you are up-to-date with name changes, address, email, phone, etc.
• Any new leads/contacts you add or update in Salesforce is automatically pulled back into Postal in less than 15 minutes, so there is no need to jump between the two systems
• Most importantly you can now view in Salesforce the entire activity history of a prospect or customer in one view, allowing you to report on total Postal touches, and measure the real conversion rate of your prospects
