Salesforce CPQ End-of-Sale and the Shift Toward Revenue Cloud Salesforce CPQ (formerly SteelBrick) has been one of the most widely used quote management solutions in the Salesforce ecosystem for years. Product configuration, pricing rules, guided selling, discount approvals, and quote generation became standard parts of many Salesforce sales operations.
