After meeting with President Donald Trump with the goal of spurring job growth, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff started working on boosting his own company's gross domestic product.
Benioff's goal is to create five million apprenticeships, or training jobs, within the Salesforce network, and the CEO told "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer on Monday that he knew growing GDP was the way to reach that goal.

Then it will kill us all because we are a bother.

They did this instead of creating a base of evangelists that would in turn expand Salesforce’s installed base and revenue.
Yes.
Oracle’s Netsuite is a direct competitor to Salesforce.
True. This liberal clown just wanted more attention. There aren’t more than 10 million sales jobs in the US. Most wouldn’t have use for his silly program.
Thank You.
Marc got his start as Larry’s butt boy.
I’m sure there is a metaphor here with Marc building the largest structure of it’s kind in San Francisco. Perhaps, an homage to his beginnings with Larry.
