30 Salesforce bloggers you need to follow right now

Salesforce is a hugely popular platform for a reason. It’s customer-centric, effective and efficient. However, it’s the community of experts surrounding it which makes it truly special. Whether it’s through social media, blogging, contributing to forums or being active at Salesforce events, members of the Ohana strive to improve their work, deliver a better customer experience, and make Salesforce a better organization to be part of.

The Salesforce MVP program runs twice a year to acknowledge those who’ve made outstanding contributions and proven their commitment to bettering the wider community. Alongside this year’s MVPs, we have compiled a list of Salesforce bloggers and experts we consistently see add value to the online Salesforce community.

Bookmark their blogs, follow them on Twitter and spread the word about these committed Salesforce influencers!
