Benioff said that there’s a customer behind each and every interaction on the Internet. It’s an Internet of customers. "We need to reassess how we address our customers. We need to pivot to our customers."

Message of the show: "Vendors should be customer companies."

Benioff noted that Salesforce is a business to consumer company.

His vision is the Internet of customers, where companies create a one-to-one experience. "We’re going to have a one-to-one relationship between our fans and teams."

Props to Amazon: "I think every product should have a mayday button."

Benioff said the Internet of customers should inspire, excite, motivate and transform.
