The Challenge

The real work starts after a lead lands in Salesforce

Leads arrive from everywhere. Someone then has to understand each one, collect missing details, qualify it, answer questions, follow up, book a meeting, update the CRM and assign the right rep. Important work, but it steals time from building relationships and closing deals.

Where leads come from

Website forms
Marketing campaigns
Email
Customer enquiries
Existing CRM records
Landing pages
Sales campaigns
External systems

Reading every new lead

Reps review each record before they know if it is worth a call.

Asking the same questions

Budget, timeline and requirements, collected by hand every time.

Follow-ups that slip

Opportunities lost simply because nobody followed up in time.

Updating Salesforce

Manual CRM entry that is often late, incomplete or skipped.

Scheduling back-and-forth

Endless emails just to agree on a meeting slot.

Assigning leads

The right lead doesn’t always reach the right salesperson.

Writing summaries

Context lost between the first enquiry and the first call.

Preparing for meetings

Time spent digging through CRM records before every call.

The goal: turn Salesforce from a database into an active, AI-powered sales workspace that automates the repetitive work while keeping important sales decisions with people.

The Solution · AI Agents

A digital sales team working inside Salesforce

Built with Salesforce, Agentforce and custom agents, the system doesn’t just chat. It reasons about each lead and completes real business operations through custom actions, Flows, Apex and APIs.

What every agent is built on

CRM-grounded answers

Responses come from your Salesforce data and approved content, not generic AI knowledge.

Human approval & control

Sensitive actions can be set to run automatically or to wait for a person to approve them.

Role-based security

The agent only accesses the records and actions its role allows, just like any Salesforce user.

How the agents move every lead forward

1
Engage
A new lead arrives and the agent responds straight away.
2
Qualify
Missing details are collected and the lead is scored against your rules.
3
Answer
Questions are answered from approved company and CRM information.
4
Schedule
Qualified prospects are offered a meeting with the right rep.
5
Update
Salesforce records, tasks and opportunities are updated through actions and Flows.
6
Hand off
The rep receives a ready-made summary and takes over the conversation.

Not just a Salesforce chatbot

Traditional sales process	With the AI sales agent
Leads wait until someone has time	Every lead engaged immediately
Qualification questions asked by hand	AI qualification using your own criteria
Follow-ups forgotten or late	Automatic, personalised follow-up cadences
CRM updated whenever reps remember	Salesforce updated as every step happens
Reps start calls with no context	Summaries and briefings before every meeting

How It Works

From new lead to qualified opportunity

The agent handles the repetitive work that happens before a rep speaks with a qualified prospect, and hands over when a human conversation becomes more valuable.
