AI and ML integration to the Salesforce CRM is a giant leap in the CRM system as the companies move to the next level of automation and efficiency. In this paper, the author tries to understand how the application of AI and ML will positively impact Salesforce; decision making, work simplification, and control of the customer touch points. The use of such with the help of AI tools like predictive analytics and natural language processing can increase the understanding of customer’s needs and wants and be used for efficient and effective marketing and selling. In addition, machine learning algorithms can use the customer interactions and data in order to adapt to different processes, including scoring leads and predicting opportunities in Salesforce. While this surely means work planning_kind and functional integration this is coupled with sales team enablement with a rich set of activities which in turn are reinvestment for higher sales. Furthermore, the paper focuses on the difficulties arising from AI and ML in Salesforce: data quality problems, integration issues, along with organizational culture shift to adapt to the support of technology systems. In response to these considerations, recommendations for effective adoption and effective uses involving the integration of AI and ML in Salesforce are presented. In a broad sense, it is seen that through availing AI and machine learning, organizations can bolster the capacity of Salesforce, as well as position themselves for better competitive business, and in the process improve customer relations through the intelligent applications that the latter brings.
