Understanding agents: The Role of Service and Sales Agents
Agentforce offers two core types of agents that perform specific customer service and sales tasks: Service Agents and Sales Agents.
Service Agents are designed to efficiently answer customer queries and solve day-to-day problems. They work across multiple channels, providing ongoing support for customer issues, whether via email, website or app.
Sales agents, on the other hand, support the sales team by prioritising leads, guiding prospects through the buying process and proactively following up. This division of labour enables companies to manage customer engagement in a targeted manner and free agents from repetitive tasks.
Use cases: Service Agents and Sales Agents
Service Agents:
These agents focus on customer service. They help with routine enquiries, provide immediate support on topics such as order status, returns or general FAQs, and improve customer satisfaction by answering queries quickly and accurately. Service Agents are ideal for support centres and customer portals as they are available 24/7, making customer service scalable.
Sales Agents:
These agents are designed to assist sales teams with lead generation and customer acquisition. They analyse customer interactions and automatically make recommendations based on the customer's individual needs and context. These agents can also act as virtual assistants, prioritising leads and proactively providing sales reps with tailored talking points or sales tips.

We help you implement Agentforce
As an experienced transformation partner, we help organisations seamlessly integrate Agentforce into their existing system landscape. Our expertise lies in optimising the customer experience and increasing efficiency in the digital environment. We provide end-to-end management, from consulting and strategy development to implementation and training of your teams. This ensures that you can fully exploit the potential of Agentforce to achieve your business goals.
How much work do you have to do yourself?
With Agentforce, most of the implementation work can be done by us and our partner Salesforce, especially the technical setup and process integration. However, the customer should be involved in defining specific use cases, customising workflows and defining the desired data access rights. In joint workshops, we determine what roles the agents will take on and how they will fit into existing processes.
Privacy and security
Agentforce is fully GDPR compliant. The Salesforce platform offers features such as data masking, access controls, and monitoring to ensure that sensitive data is protected and only accessible by authorised users. Combined with Einstein Trust Layer technology, all agent interactions are managed to remain both secure and transparent, in compliance with European data protection regulations.
