Salesforce Launches Pulse for Salesforce: AI-Driven Insights Directly in CRM
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Today, Salesforce announced Pulse for Salesforce, a new edition of Tableau Pulse designed to seamlessly integrate metrics and AI-powered insights into the CRM workflow, starting with Sales Cloud. Leveraging the Salesforce Einstein 1 Platform, Pulse for Salesforce uses generative AI to bring intelligence directly into users’ daily activities. CRM users can now access personalized, contextual metrics and insights from Tableau Pulse within the CRM to support their decision-making processes.
Transforming CRM Insights
Previously, sales teams had to actively search for insights or request information from analysts to support their deals. Pulse for Salesforce changes this by proactively delivering insights, trends, and a generative AI-powered Q&A experience directly within the CRM. Sales teams can now view Pulse’s AI-generated summaries of key trends right from Sales Cloud, allowing them to easily explore metrics such as win rate and total sales.
Enhanced Sales Leadership and Rep Insights
Sales leaders can benefit from Pulse for Salesforce by monitoring win rate trends directly on their home page. If the data shows a downward trend, leaders can quickly identify which team members need additional support. Sales reps can track their conversion rates for the quarter and use Pulse’s natural language Q&A to understand metrics by industry, helping them focus their efforts more effectively.
Streamlined and Secure AI-Powered Insights
Pulse enhances CRM productivity, improves customer relationships, and drives business value by integrating generative AI with the Einstein Trust Layer, ensuring that customer data remains secure and protected.
