Salesforce’s Chief Customer Officer for Service Cloud reveals a striking statistic: approximately 90% of Agentforce deployments globally begin with service use cases. But what’s driving this overwhelming concentration, and what can your organization learn from early adopters?
In this interview from the Agentforce World Tour in Amsterdam, David Brown shares insights about AI implementation in customer service. From autonomous agents handling 86% of support cases to service professionals earning 10-15% more with AI assistance, the data tells a story that contradicts common fears about automation.
Discover why the traditional approach to customer service channels is becoming obsolete, with some companies planning to shift from 70% phone contact to just 10% in three years. Learn how one major international airport reduced human chat interactions by 40% in just months using an autonomous WhatsApp agent, while actually improving customer satisfaction.
