Set Up Salesforce Calendar for Visit Scheduling

With Salesforce Calendar, sales managers can avoid scheduling conflicts because they can see the visits assigned to their field reps. The visits appear as events on their calendars. Field reps can also check their calendars for scheduled visits and plan their day accordingly.
