Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has announced the company’s plan to hire 2,000 new sales representatives to support the growing demand for their AI tools. Despite previous layoffs, the company has already received 9,000 referrals for these roles. The quarterly revenue of Salesforce has reached $9.44 billion, showcasing a consistent upward trend in their financial performance.

The expansion of the company comes as part of their focus on artificial intelligence, with the upcoming release of the second generation of their Agentforce platform in February 2025. This move is seen as a strategy to stay competitive in the market, particularly against rivals like Microsoft. While the new hiring plans bring opportunities for many, it also reflects a shift in priorities for the company which has previously undergone rounds of layoffs to minimize costs.

Benioff emphasized the significance of AI agents and digital labor in reshaping industries, positioning Salesforce at the forefront of innovation in this space. With a focus on enhancing customer service and sales processes, the company aims to lead the way in leveraging AI technologies for business growth. The consistently growing quarterly revenues indicate a positive outlook for Salesforce amidst these strategic developments.
