Sales Lifecycle
20% of the exam- Matching sales KPIs to Agentforce Sales agents~7 minHow to turn a sales goal into a measurable KPI, then pick the Agentforce Sales capability that moves it: the four AI sales agents, Sales Engagement, Inbox with Einstein Activity Capture, forecasting, scoring and campaign influence, plus the licensing and agent-user prerequisites.
- Lead qualification and conversion process design~8 minWhat lead conversion creates, moves and leaves behind, why it can't be undone, which permissions and field mappings it needs, how duplicates behave during conversion, and how a shared qualification definition and stage design keep the marketing-to-sales handoff measurable.
- Choosing Sales Engagement, Inbox, territories and forecasts~8 minWhen each Agentforce Sales productivity and planning tool is the right answer: Sales Engagement cadences and the Work Queue, Salesforce Inbox with Einstein Activity Capture, Sales Territories (formerly Enterprise Territory Management), Salesforce Forecasting types, quotas and adjustments, and where predictive and generative AI fit.
- Sales KPI reports, dashboards and snapshots~7 minHow to turn a sales KPI into the right report and dashboard: report formats, cross filters, bucket columns and joined reports; dynamic versus running-user dashboards, filters and subscriptions; and historical trend reporting versus reporting snapshots for trends over time.
Consulting and Implementation Strategies
25% of the exam- Change management, training and success metrics~8 minWhat a consultant settles before the build: baselined adoption and business metrics, an executive sponsor and change champions, a role-aware communication plan, role-based training with in-app reinforcement, user experience research, and UAT-based go-live readiness.
- Change sets, sandboxes and release readiness~8 minHow change sets behave (connections, one-transaction deploys, validation, locks, limits, what they cannot do), when to switch to Salesforce CLI, which sandbox fits each test, and how to regression test against a seasonal release in a preview sandbox.
- Driving adoption and continuous improvement after go-live~8 minHow to diagnose low adoption from usage data before acting, fix it with managers, super users, feedback loops and simpler pages, govern changing requirements through one backlog and tested releases, keep user access and licenses clean, and prove ROI against the pre-launch benchmark.
- Project lifecycle, delivery methods and scope control~6 minThe five project lifecycle phases and the artifact each produces, how to choose waterfall, Scrum or Kanban from the shape of the work, and how a scope statement, change control, a risk register and status reporting keep a Salesforce project on time and in scope.
- Discovery workshops, elicitation and use-case prioritization~7 minHow to prepare and run discovery workshops, pick the elicitation technique that fits the gap (observation, survey, document and interface analysis, process modeling, prototyping, workshops), resolve conflicting requirements, write testable user stories, and prioritize use cases by value and effort into a phased release.
Practical Application of Agentforce Sales Expertise
24% of the exam- Lead to close: stages, Path, approvals and orders~8 minDesign the whole lead-to-close flow as one process: leads for unqualified prospects, stages that set probability and forecast category, sales processes on record types, Path and stage-aware validation rules, contact roles, quote sync and approvals, then Orders and Contracts after Closed Won.
- Clicks, code, packages or productivity tools~7 minA configuration-first decision order for extending Agentforce Sales: when Flow is enough, when Apex or a Lightning web component is justified, when to buy an AgentExchange package and how to vet it, and when the answer is the mobile app, Slack or the Outlook and Gmail integrations.
- Sales security model: sharing, teams and permissions~8 minPick the right access tool for a sales requirement: a restrictive org-wide default opened by the role hierarchy, owner- and criteria-based sharing rules, Account Teams and Opportunity Teams (with default teams), object-level View All for least privilege, and permission sets, permission set groups and muting for object permissions.
- Products, price books, quotes and multi-currency~7 minHow products, standard and custom price books, per-currency price book entries and price book access shape opportunity products, splits and quotes, and what multiple currencies, personal currency and advanced currency management change for amounts, roll-ups and forecasts.
- Campaigns, lead routing and campaign influence~7 minStructure campaigns with hierarchies and per-campaign member statuses, build audiences from reports, attribute revenue with Primary Campaign Source and Customizable Campaign Influence, route Web-to-Lead leads with assignment rules and queues, re-route stale leads with a scheduled path, and keep the lead funnel and loss data clean.
Data Management
18% of the exam- Data migration tools and integration patterns~8 minPick the Data Import Wizard or Data Loader/Bulk API for a sales data load, plan a migration (clean, test, parents first, external IDs and upsert, automation off), and match an integration requirement to the right Salesforce integration pattern or Salesforce Connect adapter.
- Large data volumes, data skew and sharing recalculation~8 minSpot account data, ownership and lookup skew, keep large loads and deletes fast (Bulk API batches, hard delete, truncate, PK chunking, skinny tables), and plan ownership transfers and deferred sharing calculation so a sales org still performs at projected volume.
- Duplicate management and sales data quality~7 minMeasure sales data quality on six dimensions, write a data management plan, enforce it with required fields, validation rules, picklists, field types, flows and enrichment, and prevent and clean duplicates with matching rules, duplicate rules, the Potential Duplicates component and duplicate jobs.
Predictive and Generative AI
13% of the exam- Sales Emails and generative call summaries~7 minThe two embedded generative AI tools the exam tests in Agentforce Sales: Sales Emails (when Draft with Einstein works, grounding, email types, limits and review) and Einstein Conversation Insights call summaries and generative insights (setup, where summaries appear, what they contain, the five-insight limit).
- Einstein scoring and predictive forecasting~7 minThe predictive AI tools in Agentforce Sales: Einstein Lead Scoring (own versus global model, 10-day refresh, read-only score, factors, field exclusion, dashboard), Einstein Opportunity Scoring (1-99 score, where it appears, licensing) and Einstein Forecasting (inputs, data requirements, the Einstein Prediction column), and how to tell predictive from generative AI.
- Trusted AI guidelines and the Einstein Trust Layer~7 minApply Salesforce's guidelines for trusted AI (Accuracy, Safety, Honesty, Empowerment, Sustainability) to sales scenarios such as unreviewed AI emails and score-based lead disqualification, recognize bias and red-teaming risk categories, and map security concerns to Einstein Trust Layer features, including the rule that data masking is disabled for agents.
