Sales Cloud Einstein Features

Sales Cloud Einstein Features

When a really robust, game changing tool arrives in the marketplace, it can be difficult to fully understand its capabilities and its potential impact on your business.

Summit LLC has been deep diving into Sales Cloud Einstein to give you insight into how it can enable your organization to sell more. The key features of Sales Cloud Einstein include: Einstein Lead Scoring, Einstein Email Insights, Salesforce Inbox, Einstein Automated Contacts, Einstein Activity Capture, Einstein Opportunity Scoring, Einstein Opportunity Insights, Einstein Forecasting, and the Sales Analytics App.

Einstein Lead Scoring

Einstein lead scoring adds a lead score field to leads. When reps use scores to prioritize their list of leads, they can focus on the ones that have the highest chance of conversion. Managers understand the health of their leads and opportunities better, and can share relevant information with others. Inexperienced reps work from a prioritized list of leads without much involvement from their managers.

Einstein Email Insights

Einstein email insights give sales reps critical sales context alongside relevant emails, making it easier for them to send the perfect response at the perfect time. Actionable intelligence in reps’ inboxes helps identify which customers need attention.

Salesforce Inbox

A suite of productivity tools helps reps focus on what needs attention. Salesforce inbox brings email, calendar, and CRM together in one seamless experience. For example, Email Tracking helps reps focus on engaged prospects. Insert Availability makes scheduling meetings a breeze. Salesforce Inbox is a suite of mobile and desktop productivity apps that help sales reps work smarter without leaving their Microsoft or Google inbox.

Einstein Automated Contacts

Einstein Automated Contacts uses email and event activity to find new contacts and opportunity contact roles to add to Salesforce. Contact records are automatically added to Salesforce, so reps spend less time on data entry. Reps reduce data entry and improve contact data quality.

Einstein Activity Capture

Einstein activity capture helps keep data between Salesforce and your email and calendar applications up to date. Having email and event data automatically logged on Salesforce records increases reps’ productivity and visibility into potential customers. Reps reduce context switching and manual activity logging, improve data quality, and generate more insights. Activity Metrics, which comes with Einstein Activity Capture, helps sales managers know when to step in with assistance. For example, managers might add the Inactive Days and Lead Score fields to a lead list view. Then, they can see which high-scoring leads haven’t had any activity. Einstein Activity Capture is a productivity-boosting tool that keeps each sales rep’s email and calendar aligned with Salesforce. Einstein Activity Capture performs two main functions. First, it captures email and events from a rep’s Microsoft or Google account and adds them to the activity timeline of related Salesforce records. Reps no longer need to log activities manually in Salesforce. Einstein Activity Capture also syncs contacts and events between Salesforce and a rep’s Microsoft or Google account.

Einstein Opportunity Scoring

Einstein Opportunity Scoring is available to users with or without a Sales Cloud Einstein license. Opportunity scores tell you the likelihood that an opportunity will be won. For each opportunity score, Einstein shows the factors that have contributed the most to the score, both positively and negatively. Reps prioritize deals based on scores that indicate how likely an opportunity is to close. For example, a rep can prioritize high-scoring opportunities that are in early stages. Because scores are based on real data, reps get an accurate understanding of their opportunities. Reps see the factors that contribute to the score, which helps them take appropriate action. Managers understand the health of their leads and opportunities better, and can share relevant information with others. Experienced reps with a heavy workload work from a prioritized list of opportunities so they can focus on the deals most likely to close.

Sales managers keep an eye on low-scoring opportunities and reach out to reps with assistance. Sales managers understand the health of their pipelines and share relevant information with others.

Einstein Opportunity Insights

Opportunity Insights includes predictions about which deals are likely to be won, reminders to follow up, and notifications when key moments in a deal take place. Each insight offers details about why it’s shown, tying it to relevant metrics. Reps get relevant updates about their opportunities. Insights includes intelligent updates about which deals are likely to be won, smart reminders to follow up, and notifications when key moments in a deal take place. Reps get smart reminders when opportunities are past their close dates, have no future activity, or have overdue tasks. Insights also include key moments, such as a contact leaving or a prospect not responding. Reps know what to do next with relevant predictions, reminders, and notifications about opportunities.

Einstein Forecasting

Einstein Forecasting uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology to bring more certainty and visibility to your forecasts. Improve forecasting accuracy, get forecast predictions, and track how sales teams are doing. Einstein forecasts are based on AI that analyzes past sales data, explores how records change over time, and tracks new changes. This data analysis is the basis for accurate and objective forecasts. When managers have a better understanding of the team’s performance, they can coach their reps more effectively. Sales managers improve forecasting accuracy, get forecast predictions, and track how sales teams are doing.

Sales Analytics App

Sales Analytics brings the power of Analytics to Sales Cloud on any device that supports Analytics. With intuitive visualizations based on your Salesforce data, Sales Analytics lets you move from insight to action quickly and helps you turn data into smarter sales. Managers analyze sales data, look at opportunity whitespace, review pipeline status, and evaluate team and rep performance better than they did without sales analytics. Intuitive visualizations based on Salesforce data help reps move from insight to action quickly. Reps see the latest wins, win rate, and average deal amount. Analytics highlight quotas and reliable forecasts.

"Easy to Work With"
Angie W.

Northwoods worked with Summit to help migrate our Microsoft Dynamics CRM system to Salesforce.  Summit was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and easy to work with.  They were able to help us configure the system to handle complex business processes while making the system easy for end users.  They were also able to migrate all our legacy Dynamics data to the new Salesforce system.  Summit helped train our technical team on Salesforce administration while keeping the project on time and under budget.  I highly recommend Summit for any Salesforce-related project.

"Mind Blowing!"
Rachael H.

As a leader of a small non-profit aimed to scale rapidly and efficiently, I knew it was critical to transition from antiquated spreadsheets to a sophisticated CRM. We dabbled in Salesforce on our own the year prior. To put it mildly, I was terrified to go there again. Summit met my apprehension with confidence and reassurance. They were timely, efficient and positioned us to utilize Salesforce in ways we hadn’t imagined. Every day I’m in awe of what Salesforce can do; to the team’s credit for imparting their wisdom. Summit has positioned us for unprecedented opportunities at Walk with a Doc. Thank you!

"BEST Salesforce Consultant Available"
Catherine Z.

We went through 3 consultants before finding Summit. The difference was night and day, and the cost was very reasonable. They helped us get our Communities up and running in less than a week (after 2 other teams essentially dragged their feet for 9 months - yes, 9 months!). We are ecstatic! We also have Managed Services with them, for a few hundred bucks a month they are our go-to for anything Salesforce. The team is INSTANTLY responsive - like within 2 minutes. I have experienced other consultants and can tell you, there is no comparison. Hire Summit!

"Did a Wonderful Job"
Paige B.

We have primarily been using Salesforce for our sales team. Recently we decided to bring our support team on and Summit did an awesome job helping us get everything set up the way we needed.

"Great Learning and Implementation"
Annette H.

Great experience with Summit. They are very knowledgeable about Salesforce and their turn around is outstanding. I am looking forward to working Part 2 of our plan with them.

"Transformation Data w/ Excellent Service"
Kay W.

The skill set and knowledge that Summit has brought to this project far surpasses our initial expectation- especially since our initial contact with Salesforce corp. was challenged in regards to utilizing training videos to suit our scope and need. Summit and team has been helpful in supporting our team with a custom solution in order for us to be able to serve our community better. They are timely and professional, and eager to learn about the why before telling us the what.

"Made our Dream CRM a Reality!"
Matt S.

Summit made our Salesforce dream a reality. As a small non-profit on a limited budget with very specific CRM needs we were challenged to find a suitable Salesforce partner. Fortunately we were introduced to Summit, and from day one they made the formidable task of implementing Salesforce doable (and even enjoyable!). The Summit team are pros, from their accessibility and communication to industry knowledge and attitude, they never said 'no' to a request. When we encountered hiccups along the way they took the time to trouble shoot and make fixes, even when it was outside the original scope of the project. We didn't deviate from the project timeline or budget, which says a lot considering our custom needs for data collection/reporting, donor communication, and third party plug-ins. If you are considering implementing Salesforce or have any Salesforce needs, I highly recommend Summit and their team.
