Guidelines for Proposals
Bluewolf is a global business consulting firm that helps customer-obsessed enterprises transform their business. Our annual survey of 2,000+ Salesforce customers and the results of that report, The State of Salesforce, helps companies figure out what to do now to make the most of their Salesforce investments.
Now in its fifth year, the data set associated with The State of Salesforce is significant and we’re looking for new ways to put it to use. Specifically the creation of a data visualization that will be a unique visual to display during event presentations and a giveaway for conference attendees.
What is being visualized does not need to be immediately obvious but viewers, given the right context, should be able to decipher the significance of what is being visualized.
