That can include sales calls, customer service interactions, <a href="/ap/marketing/email/" target="_self">marketing emails</a>, and more.</p> <p>CRM tools can unify customer and company data from many sources and even use <a href="/ap/artificial-intelligence/" target="_self">AI (artificial intelligence)</a> to help better manage relationships across the entire customer lifecycle, spanning departments like <a href="/ap/marketing/" target="_self"><ins>marketing</ins></a>, <a href="/ap/sales/" target="_self"><ins>sales</ins></a>, <a href="/ap/commerce/" target="_self"><ins>digital commerce</ins></a>, and <a href="/ap/service/" target="_self"><ins>customer service interactions</ins></a>.</p> <p>That’s the CRM definition.

Doing so enables you to quickly pull together everything you know about a customer — and even some things you didn’t know — which can be used to personalise every interaction. Having this level of knowledge makes every employee even smarter and more productive, especially when you use <a href="/ap/agentforce/what-are-ai-agents/" target="_self"><ins>AI agents</ins></a> that can take action autonomously based on the instructions you provide.</p> <p><a href="/ap/agentforce/" target="_self">AI agents</a> can help speed up tasks for teams across your business, too. Labour-intensive tasks like drafting sales emails, crafting marketing messages, and writing or localising product descriptions can now be done in a matter of seconds.</p> <p>CRMs that have AI give employees the power to make more accurate predictions around forecasts like quarterly sales targets, ecommerce sales, or the best time to send a marketing email.</p> </div> </article> </div> </section> </div><div data-blade-id="1720667843710_mji_90819" data-blade-position="11" data-blade-name="sf/promotion" data-blade-variant="promotion" data-blade-source="www" data-blade-type="blade"> <section id="1720667843710_mji_90819" class="relative promotion--blade promotion--right-image" > <div class="container pb-shadow pb-large-corner container--min-spacing-bottom container--min-spacing-top"> <article class="grid grid_main promotion_layout--float_image" data-module-id="1720667843710_mji_90819" data-module-name="Map Your Journey to AI-Powered CRM" data-module-position="1" data-module-type="headline" data-module-track-impressions=""> <div class="image__wrapper mobile-pt-0 pb-64 pt-64 mobile-pb-40 mobile-ml-32 mobile-mr-32 promotion_layout--float_image-image_wrapper " > <img loading="lazy" src="https://wp.sfdcdigital.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/05/promo-crm-ai-crm.webp?w=1024" class="image__asset" alt="Einstein showcasing Forrester's AI-Powered CRM report" sizes="100vw" srcset="https://wp.sfdcdigital.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/05/promo-crm-ai-crm.webp?resize=150,150 150w,https://wp.sfdcdigital.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/05/promo-crm-ai-crm.webp?resize=300,300 300w,https://wp.sfdcdigital.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/05/promo-crm-ai-crm.webp?resize=768,768 768w,https://wp.sfdcdigital.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/05/promo-crm-ai-crm.webp?resize=1024,1024 1024w" height="1024" width="1024"/> </div> <div class="content__wrapper pt-64 mobile-pb-8 mobile-pt-40 mobile-ml-32 mobile-mr-32 pb-64 promotion_layout---image-content_wrapper"> <header class="promotion__blade-heading"> <h2 class="pbc-g-text-display-4 mt-0 mb-24 mobile-mb-16" style=" "> Map Your Journey to AI-Powered CRM </h2> <div class="blade__description pbc-g-text-body-1-2 mb-48 mobile-mb-32"> <p>Read Forrester's survey of 700+ business leaders to see how they're using AI to serve customers better.</p> </div> </header> <div class="cta_container flex flex--float_image ctas__1"> <pbc-button class="cta_button__wrapper" data-link-text="Get the report" data-link-url="https://www.salesforce.com/ap/resources/research-reports/ai-powered-crm/?d=pb" data-link-type="primary cta" > <a class="cta_button" data-size="" data-variant="primary" data-stacking="default" aria-label="Get the report: Map Your Journey to AI-Powered CRM" href="https://www.salesforce.com/ap/resources/research-reports/ai-powered-crm/?d=pb" target="_self" rel="noopener" > Get the report </a> </pbc-button> </div> </div> </article> </div> </section> </div><div data-blade-id="1717796258154_ehs" data-blade-position="12" data-blade-name="sf/textmainbody" data-blade-variant="textmainbody" data-blade-source="www" data-blade-type="blade"> <section id="benefits" class="relative textmainbody--blade" > <div class="container container--min-spacing-bottom container--min-spacing-top"> <article class="grid grid_main text--left" data-module-id="1717796258154_ehs" data-module-name="What are the benefits of CRM?" data-module-position="1" data-module-type="headline" data-module-track-impressions=""> <header class="textmainbody__blade-heading grid grid_sub"> <h2 class="headline text__headline--large" style=" "> What are the benefits of CRM? </h2> </header> <div class="blade__description"> <p>There are many <a href="/ap/crm/benefits-of-crm/" target="_self">benefits of using CRM software</a> — especially when your business combines <a href="/ap/crm/ai-crm/" target="_self">CRM with AI</a> and data you can trust.
