The Silicon Valley Sales Operations Forum was formed in 2006 by two Sales Operations executives: Alison Chandless of Salesforce.com and Price Burlington of SAP. Today, the forum’s member list includes more than 300 Sales Operations professionals from the greater Bay Area, including Apple, Cisco, Infoblox, NetApp, WebEx, Xilinx and many other companies, big and small.

The Sales Operations Forum is a venue for sales enablement and sales operations executives to network, exchange ideas, and share best practices.

• Quarterly meetings focus on topics such as sales effectiveness, sales methodologies, compensation, CRM, and field communication.
• Yahoo Group list connects members with one another as resources for information sharing, networking, and problem solving.
• Partnerships provide members with special access to events covering hot topics, relevant topics, and featuring subject matter experts.

Our no-spam policies keep communications to a minimum and we do not allow solicitations. Our members are busy professionals. Member lists are strictly confidential and not shared with anyone.

Membership is free. The forum is open to Sales Operations and Sales Enablement executives. Vendors and consultants may be sponsored by members for specific topical discussions. Members host the events; so, there is no cost to attend the meetings or to join the group.
