Agentforce cuts update: the sales team now spends less time quoting and more time closing deals. With a revamped quoting process, they’ve slashed quote time by 75% without needing extra hires. The change also eliminated hours of manual work that used to slow reps down.
Before this, sales quoting was clunky. Reps juggled tools, copied data by hand, and risked errors daily. Now, Agentforce uses a system that feels fast, intelligent, and actually built for selling.
What is Agentforce and Why This Update Matters
Agentforce is Salesforce’s quoting automation tool built to simplify how sales teams generate quotes. It helps reps move faster, reduce errors, and close deals without roadblocks. Think of it as a smarter way to handle pricing, approvals, and proposals.
The recent Agentforce for Revenue initiative took things a step further. It focused on scaling quoting speed while improving internal workflows for real users inside Salesforce. It wasn’t just a tech refresh but a productivity leap.
The result? A noticeable internal Salesforce impact. Teams saved time, made fewer mistakes, and improved deal velocity. All of it ties into the larger Quote-to-Cash transformation that Salesforce is actively pushing across teams.
The Digital Labor Platform Behind the Speed
At its core, Agentforce is powered by AI-powered quoting. It pulls the right data, fills in details, and builds accurate quotes - all in seconds. No more copying, pasting, or guesswork.
This is where automation kicks in. By removing manual entry, Agentforce cuts hours of admin work into clicks. That speed isn’t just convenient but transformative.
The platform is a key part of Salesforce’s digital labor strategy. It proves how smart tools can take over routine tasks and let humans focus on selling. Quoting automation tools like this aren’t the future - they’re already here.
Instant Quotes, Real Results with Agentforce for Revenue
Agentforce’s quoting tool delivers instant value. Internally, Salesforce saw a 75% reduction in quoting time and an 87% drop in clicks required per quote.
Real-World Impact on Sales Cycle Velocity
- Deals close faster because quotes arrive quickly. Salesforce now generates accurate quotes in seconds by simply prompting the agent, like “Quote 25 licenses with a 10% discount.” This significantly accelerates deal momentum.
- In early testing with AdMed, Inc., pilots forecast faster deal cycles and fewer manual bottlenecks.
- As part of a broader internal rollout, Salesforce increased AE productivity by over 7% year-over-year, despite quoting automation handling a high volume of deals.
Agent Efficiency and Win Rates
- Reps now spend far less time on admin and more on selling. The result: higher close rates and less burnout.
- Automation cuts pricing mistakes, making quotes trustworthy and repeatable.
- Agentforce enables reps to handle more deals simultaneously and confidently.
Smarter Product Configuration in Seconds
With Agentforce, configuring the right product mix is now instant. The AI understands product rules and pricing logic to suggest bundles that fit. No more toggling between tabs or hunting through product catalogs.
Sales teams used to waste time navigating complex SKUs. Now, Agentforce makes quoting smarter by applying AI to your product database. It handles the complexity in the background so reps can focus on selling.
Use Cases: Complex Deals, Renewals, Multi-Product Quotes
- Complex Deals: AI suggests valid combinations for bundled offers with tiered pricing and no manual cross-checks.
- Renewals: Agentforce pulls past configurations and updates pricing and terms automatically.
- Multi-Product Quotes: It understands dependencies between products and adds the right add-ons or discounts in one go.
What once took several screens and approval chains now happens in seconds.
