What the exam expects
- Turn a vague sales goal ("shorten the sales cycle") into a specific, measurable metric before choosing any feature.
- Match a sales challenge to the right AI sales agent: Agentforce Prospecting, Agentforce Engagement, Agentforce Sales Coach or Agentforce Sales Management.
- Recognize when a non-agent capability is the better fit: Sales Engagement cadences, Inbox with Einstein Activity Capture, forecasting, Einstein Lead Scoring or Customizable Campaign Influence.
- Name the prerequisites before deploying sales agents: license and usage-credit check with the account team, defined roles and permissions, and a user record per agent.
Key terms:
- KPI / success metric: a SMART measure (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound) tied to a business goal.
- AI sales agent: an Agentforce agent that works part of the sales process (prospecting, lead engagement, coaching, deal management).
- Agent's user record: the Salesforce user that represents an autonomous agent and carries its one agent permission set.
- Cadence: a Sales Engagement sequence of sales steps (calls, emails) that a rep works for each target.
