Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff Impressed by Palantir's Forward-Deployed Engineer Model and Premium Pricing

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff praises Palantir's Forward-Deployed Engineer model as "very cool," but is more impressed by their premium pricing strategy, which has prompted him to reconsider his own company's pricing model. Benioff notes that Palantir's $310 billion market valuation and $4 billion annual revenue guidance are impressive, while his own company's $41 billion guidance is significantly lower. He expresses admiration for Palantir's unique approach to pricing and customer engagement, but acknowledges that the company's high prices may not be feasible for all customers.
