Artificial Intelligence (AI) is endorsing a paradigm shift in the industry today. It sure has been a while since AI’s outset, but it was only recently that people have started to realize its importance in their everyday lives. For instance:

  • Siri on iphone using voice recognition
  • Autocomplete search queries in Google
  • Automatic tagging of Photos on Facebook using image recognition
  • Getting a personalized recommendation on Amazon based on your browsing/purchase history using machine learning algorithms

All examples of AI that we see in our daily lives. And similar to cloud computing, social networking and mobile smartphones in the past, AI is changing the way we work.

Why do we need AI in our Business with CRMs?

AI is already transforming customers’ expectations. The customer who uses Uber, Google, and Amazon in their everyday life have grown accustomed to seeing only the relevant information personalized for them so that it meets their exact needs.

The same principle applies to our business. The customers know we have their data in CRM systems, and they expect us to use it to provide faster, smarter, and more personalized engagement across every interaction. Businesses are finding countless ways to infuse AI into everything from their customer experiences to their internal operations.

Using AI, all lines of business can perform better. For example, Sales will be able to focus on spending more effort on the best leads and better anticipate the outcome of opportunities. Customer service teams will be able to provide a much better service, by proactively addressing FAQs for customers before they become service cases. Marketing will be able to predict customer purchasing patterns based on their past history and personalize customer experiences like never before. IT can embed intelligence everywhere, creating smarter apps for employees and customers. Retailers can drive more revenue with AI-powered insights that provide consumers with personalized shopping experiences.

What is Salesforce Einstein?

Salesforce artificial intelligence, also known as Salesforce Einstein is built into the Salesforce Platform. This layer of AI provides predictions and recommendations based on your business processes and customer data. These predictions help you perform your work better by automating your actions and responses, save your employees valuable time by making them more productive and ultimately, make your customers happier. Salespeople benefit from Salesforce Einstein AI in two ways:

  • Data is automatically captured through different sources like emails, saving your employees valuable time from manual data entry. For example, a feature called Automated Activity Capture automatically logs calls, emails and chats in Salesforce so that salespeople won’t have to waste time manually keeping customer interaction records up to date.
  • It provides insights, recommends the next best actions and predicts outcomes that help sales reps to focus on the most promising leads and opportunities. It also provides the logical reasoning behind its predictions for your reference.

Salesforce artificial intelligence (AI) empowers businesses to leverage the power of AI and machine learning to garner insights and drive customer satisfaction and business growth.

Salesforce Einstein AI offers multiple services and features that use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to boost aspects of the Salesforce Customer Success Platform.
