In today’s competitive market, small businesses need every advantage they can get. Salesforce steps up with its Supplier Diversity Academy, aimed at giving these businesses a much-needed edge.
Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, but not all get the same chances to succeed. Those owned by minorities, women, veterans, disabled persons, or LGBTQ+ individuals often face extra challenges. That’s where Salesforce’s new program comes in. It’s designed to help these businesses grow by teaching them how to win contracts with big companies.
The Need for Support
Recent studies show that nearly half of small diverse businesses rely on big contracts for growth. However, economic ups and downs make it hard for these businesses to thrive. The Supplier Diversity Academy by Salesforce could be the key to overcoming these challenges.
What Is the Supplier Diversity Academy?
This 6-month online program focuses on small businesses from underrepresented groups. It offers a range of tools and resources to help these businesses grow. The aim is for them to learn how to better sell their services or products to large companies, including Salesforce.
