• Einstein Lead Scoring Enhancements

Available: Performance, Enterprise, and Unlimited editions

Use artificial intelligence to score your leads, so your sales team knows what to prioritize. Now you can generate tailored predictive models for the segments you define, specific to your business.

If your business works with different types of leads, their conversion patterns could have significant differences. When you use field-based criteria to put them in different segments, Einstein can calculate more accurate scores based on those patterns. Define your segments based on the criteria that make sense for your business.

How to enable?

In Einstein Lead Scoring Setup, use field-based criteria to define each of your lead segments. Arrange your segments in priority order. If a lead meets the criteria for multiple segments, Einstein scores it as part of the higher priority segment

Service Cloud

• Workforce Engagement

Available: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited editions

Deliver exceptional service by routing work to the best-skilled agents at precisely the right time via intelligent forecasts, omnichannel capacity plans, shift scheduling, and in-stream push training.

Boost agent productivity by letting agents answer customer calls in the Service console so they can help customers on the phone without juggling multiple apps. Or, let agents use the phone of their choice—either the built-in softphone, a desktop phone, or mobile phone—with Service Cloud Voice with Partner Telephony.

Automatically open Salesforce records as subtabs when an agent accepts a call, so the agent has more context about the customer. Show real-time call transcription—available with certain telephony partners—so agents can focus on the customer instead of jotting down notes. Show recommended actions based on the call context by integrating Voice with Einstein for Service. And monitor calls in the Omni-Channel Supervisor dashboard so managers can assist and train agents.

How to enable?

• • Purchase the Workforce Engagement add-on license.
  • Enable Workforce Engagement in Setup and select your data model preference.
  • Follow the configuration steps for Intelligent Forecasts.
