Apart from building AI applications, Salesforce will be partnering with Microsoft, Google and IBM to provide AI services to other companies for developing their own applications. Salesforce will be providing access to the AI software to other companies over the internet through cloud-computing services. Read on to know what Einstein has to offer! Predictive analysis has become a significant part of marketing, and this software will help companies who adopt AI services to track their customers and know which customers are likely to buy their products and which customers the sales people should approach. The client’s data is stored in the Salesforce’s servers, and the companies can access their details like customer information, calendar entries, email, etc. to learn the behavior of the customers. A tool from Salesforce’s Sales Cloud will have the ability to analyze all data related to leads like activity and performance of sales reps and behavioral activity from prospects to keep a check on the nature of the lead. Information such as lead source, job title, industry, emails, etc. will let companies prepare a predictive score for leads and improve over time. Another tool will allow the companies to monitor CRM data along with customer interaction such as inbound emails from prospects, case history, and previous communications. This tool will let the sales reps study the customers’ buying preferences to target to only important customers for future sales. These tools will simplify the sales processes and help in improving productivity and efficiency. AI is the next thing marketers, and salespeople need to focus on, and it is predicted to drive a notable market in software for the next few years.
