A great resource on the business side is Marc Benioff’s book, Behind the Cloud. Reading this book is like sitting down with Marc and learning that Salesforce.com faced many of the same issues you may be facing today. And it shows how we met those issues head on with determination and innovation. Marc discusses global strategy, sales and marketing plays, financing, even how to give back through the 1:1:1 foundation model. Many of our most successful partners have found this book extremely useful, especially for companies just getting started. You can purchase this book in many formats at www.salesforce.com/behindthecloud.
