Salesforce CEO: The key to extraordinary growth

Jim Cramer has always considered Salesforce.com to be the king of cloud. So while "Mad Money" is in San Francisco this week, he decided to check in with the CEO of the enterprise software company.

"The key to growth, and the key to hitting these extraordinary numbers—and no one has grown as fast as we have in enterprise software—is two things: one is extraordinary customer success…And two is incredible innovation," Benioff said.

"Lightning is the next generation of Salesforce's platform," Benioff said.

Salesforce is also on the verge of releasing its 50th major technology release. It has consistently had three releases per year in its 17 year history.

"No enterprise software has delivered that rate of innovation. So you put those together, you get extraordinary growth," Benioff said.
