Yesterday Salesforce introduced new data-driven and AI-powered Sales Cloud Capabilities tools to help sales teams grow revenue through account planning, prospecting, forecasting, and compensation management.
These improvements provide sellers with a comprehensive view of their customers and business by integrating Salesforce and external data with Data Cloud and surfacing AI-powered insights in the flow of work.
Customers can now collaborate on account plans directly in Salesforce, target the most qualified prospects, forecast use data, and have a better understanding of the team’s success.
The rise of AI has increased the demand for better data that is current, accurate, and trustworthy. Four out of five sales teams are experimenting with or have fully incorporated AI, with 83% experiencing revenue growth in the previous year.
Companies also want all of their AI and data tools to be on a single platform so that they can run their entire organization with the confidence that comes with a fully integrated solution.
Account Plans
Account-based selling allows customers to expand accounts and gain new business using real-time data. Customers can now plan accounts in Salesforce and execute them consistently using incorporated best practices.
Account Plans enable account teams to streamline account research with embedded SWOT analysis and customizable account research frameworks, define measurable goals in-app to guide strategy, measure success, and collaborate directly in Salesforce across sales, service, and success to improve customer health and accelerate deals.
Prospecting Center
The new command center allows sellers to identify and select prospects to maintain their pipeline full. Because this is built on Data Cloud, businesses can combine CRM and third-party data, such as web data, firmographics, and advertising ZoomInfo and Highspot, to receive a complete picture of prospects sorted by AI-generated engagement, fit, and intent ratings.
With the data in one place and in the flow of work, salespeople can easily take actions like segmenting their prospects and creating outreach cadences without having to switch between applications.
Prospecting Center can assist sellers in choosing leads to route to the agent and provide representatives with additional information when the agent returns a qualified prospect to the rep. This enables salespeople to target the most qualified prospects and close agreements faster.
Consumption Forecasting
Sales Cloud Capabilities enable customers to forecast consumption and usage data. Customers may now incorporate external data, such as product usage and telemetry, into their projections to make them more full and accurate, as well as use the AI model of their choosing to drive the insights. This assists sales teams in forecasting anything that affects their business as more clients adopt usage-based pricing structures.
Consumption predictions are also merged with default pipeline estimates, giving sales leaders a single view of their data across all business models. This saves them time spent perusing several spreadsheets and manually manipulating data to make judgments.
Salesforce also unveiled new tools to enable sales teams of all sizes to obtain more insight into their commissions. These enhancements are especially useful for enterprises looking for powerful, enterprise-grade solutions. Salesforce Spiff now features:
New leader dashboards provide sales leaders with a bird ‘ s-eye perspective of their team’s performance, including team pacing over a specified period, team quota achievement vs objective, and team ranking. Customers can now import Spiff’s reporting data into any CRM and view it in Tableau, allowing them to include commission data in their decision-making process.
These new capabilities follow Salesforce’s recent announcement of two Agentforce Sales Agents. Agentforce SDR Agent automatically communicates with inbound prospects in natural language to answer inquiries, resolve objections, and schedule meetings for human sellers. During discovery, pitch, or negotiation calls, an Agentforce Sales Coach Agent conducts autonomous role-plays with sellers, impersonating a buyer.
We make full use of Sales Cloud’s built-in capabilities and analytics, giving us more time to create relationships with our customers. “No more wasted time; everything is in one place.” – Dan Ruland, Vice President of Sales.
Salesforce Spiff’s openness to our sellers, paired with its simplicity of use for our finance and operations staff, is a game changer for Certinia, ensuring everyone is on the same page and confidence in their revenues. We look forward to Spiff altering how we manage and encourage our sales force by streamlining our incentive compensation process. – Erin Sawyer, Chief Financial Officer of Certinia.
