  • Agentic AI: From Hype to Measurable Value in ’25

    Agentic AI: From Hype to Measurable Value in ’25

    Two short months into 2025, the marketing buzz around Agentic AI remains palpable, with a never-ending promise of transformative impact across every industry and job role.

    Yet to date, the reality of AI adoption reveals a far slower, more deliberate pace as enterprises grapple with implementation challenges. Businesses are now shifting focus from unrealistic pie in the sky expectations to measurable outcomes, emphasizing cost savings, ROI, and efficiency gains. To me that means AI as a technology is maturing and businesses are treating just like any new tool (which they should) and forcing a rigorous analysis of the tech before deploying it, training and change management.

    Speaking of AI, AI adoption and change management. I believe that we will see much more emphasis on AI training / change management to lock in any AI gains. Functional AI or the successful combining of AI and humans will be at the forefront of AI change management in 25.

    Measuring AI ROI Effectively

    To bridge the gap between AI hype and its real-world impact, businesses need to adopt structured approaches to measure ROI-just like any other part of their business. Here’s how:

    1. Clear Objectives Identified

    Set specific, measurable goals that align with your business strategy. For example:

    • Reduce customer churn by 15% using predictive analytics.
    • Increase operational efficiency by automating 30% of repetitive tasks.
    • Increase daily CRM use rates by 25%.
    • Reduce annual sales rep churn rate by 20% with AI enhanced training and retraining vs. firing.
    1. Identify Relevant AI Deployment KPIs

    Choose clear metrics that reflect both financial and non-financial benefits:

    • Financial Metrics: Cost savings, revenue growth, and productivity gains.
    • Non-Financial Metrics: Customer satisfaction scores, employee engagement, and decision-making improvements.
    1. Establish a Baseline before AI implementations

    Collect data on current performance metrics before implementing AI. This provides a benchmark for comparison and helps quantify the impact of AI solutions.

    1. Track Progress Continuously

    Monitor KPIs regularly to assess the effectiveness of AI initiatives. Use advanced analytics tools to generate insights and identify areas for improvement. Usually, you will see steady incremental gains after a likely initial big leap. Be ready to change AI functions if they are not doing better than the baseline.

    1. Consider Long-Term Value

    AI’s benefits often compound over time. While short-term gains like cost reductions are important, they also evaluate long-term impacts such as enhanced scalability, innovation, and customer loyalty.

    1. Leverage Advanced Techniques

    Employ methods like multi-touch attribution, incrementality testing, and machine learning-based analytics to gain deeper insights into ROI. These techniques help capture the nuanced effects of AI across different business functions 139.

    How can AI Impact Workers Differently?

    AI adoption has a varied impact on workers depending on their roles and experience levels:

    Boosting Productivity

    • Younger Workers: Often more tech-savvy, they adapt quickly to AI tools and see higher productivity gains.
    • Experienced Professionals: While they face a steeper learning curve, combining their expertise with AI insights can lead to superior decision-making. They are also more likely to know if AI is hallucinating or not based on their years of working without AI.

    Potential Challenges

    • Workers in roles requiring creativity or interpersonal interaction may find AI tools limiting.
    • Over-reliance on automation can hinder critical thinking skills.
    • Employees not understanding the Legal implications of AI vs. the yes you can do it but who actually owns what you just created with AI?

    Pushing for Measurable Outcomes in 2025

    As businesses continue investing in generative AI technologies, the focus is shifting toward tangible results:

    • Cost Reduction: Automating repetitive tasks and optimizing workflows.
    • Efficiency Gains: Streamlining operations across departments.
    • ROI Demonstration: Justifying investments through improved bottom-line results.

    By addressing these priorities and measuring ROI effectively, businesses can ensure that their AI investments deliver real-world value.

  • How to Select Top AI-Enabled Salesforce Consulting Partners in ’25

    How to Select Top AI-Enabled Salesforce Consulting Partners in ’25

    In 24 short months, AI has transformed from gee whiz isn’t that’s interesting-what can it do next? To must have software that can clearly create a competitive advantage when properly deployed. The question is no longer should you consider leveraging AI? It’s now what is the best way to do it, which processes are most apt to see immediate impact and ensure with proper planning that we create a competitive advantage with our AI instances in the process.
    For sales teams that rely on Salesforce, AI can be tricky to understand, plan for, implement and train without some outside best practice help.
    The challenge is finding the best Salesforce AI consulting partners that can guide businesses through the AI evaluation and adoption process, while ensuring that companies stay focused on AI that provides significant impact vs negligible to no discernible business value. Another big challenge is linking the new AI to the rest of the enterprise software stack while providing the extra layers of security (both human and software) that AI requires to reduce legal exposure.
    As we dig into ‘25, completely integrating AI into Salesforce has become crucial for businesses aiming to stay competitive or more often leapfrog competitors. That really isn’t up for argument anymore. However, selecting the right AI-enabled Salesforce consulting partner is critical to successful implementations and maximizing CRM potential.

    Salesforce AI Consulting Best Practie Checklist
    When evaluating potential partners, ensure they possess:
    1. AI Expertise: Look for partners with proven AI implementation experience and relevant certifications.
    2. Salesforce Certifications: Verify that the partner holds up-to-date Salesforce certifications, especially in AI-related areas.
    3. Industry-Specific Knowledge: Choose a partner with experience in your industry for tailored solutions.
    4. Comprehensive Services: Opt for partners offering end-to-end services, from strategy to implementation and training. Buying AI and trying to “figure it out” is a recipe for trouble.
    5. Data Management Skills: Ensure they can handle data preparation and integration for AI analysis. Garbage in / Garbage out is more critical with AI than ever before. Clean, properly accessible data matters.
    6. Scalable Solutions: Look for partners providing scalable AI services to grow with your business. AI isn’t set it and forget it. You need partners that can jump in and help with short notice.
    7. Strong Client References: Request and verify references from clients who have implemented AI solutions.
    Watch-Out-For Checklist
    Be cautious of partners who:
    1. AI innovation capabilities: Look for partners who stay current with AI trends, best practices and can customize Salesforce to leverage cutting-edge AI technologies.
    2. Offer Generic Solutions: Avoid partners who don’t tailor their approach to your specific business needs. How can you make AI your competitive advantage AI if your competition use the exact same thing?
    3. Have Limited Post-Implementation Support: Ensure they offer long-term support, as AI solutions often require ongoing adjustments.
    4. Overemphasize Certifications: While important, certifications alone don’t guarantee practical expertise. Listen to them – can they easily answer questions? Do you want to work with them?
    5. Neglect Data Privacy: Verify their commitment to data security and compliance with relevant regulations. AI legal exposure is increasing. Must be legal and software privacy systems in place.
    6. Have a Narrow Focus: Be wary of partners who can’t integrate AI across multiple Salesforce clouds. They need to know business and software to succeed.
    7. Lack Transparency: Choose partners who are clear about their processes, timelines, and pricing.
    8. Neglecting to check client references: Request and verify references from clients who have specifically implemented AI solutions with the partner.
    9. Overlooking post-implementation support: Ensure the partner offers long-term support for AI solutions, as they often require ongoing adjustments.
    10. Rushing the selection process: Avoid making hasty decisions without thorough research on the partner’s AI capabilities, past projects, and client feedback.
    11. AI Case Studies: What have they done you can look at and play with.
    Certified Salesforce Consulting Partners
    Here’s a list of some top Salesforce consulting partners known for their AI capabilities:
    1. Accenture
    2. Deloitte Digital
    3. Capgemini
    4. IBM

  • CRM Dead? Sherlock Holmes- AI the Perp?

    CRM Dead? Sherlock Holmes- AI the Perp?

    Will AI be the Perpetrator of CRMs demise?

    On a weekly basis I get C-Suite execs calling me after AI events like Dreamforce and any of the myriad AI “you name it conferences” asking me if they can replace their salespeople with AI agents right now, or…use AI to replace their pesky CRMs…Or both! Yikes – the Kool-Aid is flowing in AI land!

    I ask them to tell me about the last AI conference they attended, review the event marketing puffery and often outlandish claims of what AI can do “just by buying our XYZ AI Tool and sales will Soar,” and let out an inaudible sigh.

    These conferences are designed to get attendees to drink the Alice in Wonderland vision of an utopian AI and just like every other tech hype cycle before it (yep AI isn’t the first “revolutionary technology”) there is a kernel of truth in what AI “maybe able to do.”  That being said. I see a lot of could do vs. can do/doing right now in the AI adoption cycle.    

    So, let’s get it out of the way. AI is unlikely to fully replace CRM systems in the next few years. But top enterprise grade AI enabled CRMs are already doing far more than traditional CRMs ever could. Most significantly. The most advanced AI enabled CRMS are already enhancing and transforming enterprise CRM capabilities. This will accelerate as cutting-edge AI technologists and tech savvy AI enabled salespeople work together to enhance what AI does well and keep what was working. (See Blended AI).

    With that in mind, let’s look at what the research and our own inhouse AI fortune tellers have forecasted for AI CRM Advancements:

    AI Evolution Timeline for CRM Systems

    2024-2025: Enhanced AI Features

    In the next 12 months, we’ll see more widespread adoption of AI-powered features within existing CRM platforms:

    – Advanced predictive analytics for sales forecasting and lead scoring

    – Natural language processing for improved chatbots and virtual assistants

    – AI Agents deployed

    – Automated data entry and cleansing

    -Conversational sentiment analysis post call – heading to real-time

    -Training recommendations based on AI evaluation of seller daily actions

    -Email comprehension, writing, reply and auto CRM addition (no data entry)

    2026-2028: AI-First CRM Platforms

    Within 5 years, we’ll likely see the emergence of AI-centric CRM systems:

    – Full voice activated conversational interfaces for querying and updating CRM data

    – AI-driven workflow automation and task prioritization

    – Hyper-personalized customer interactions at scale

    – AI driven B2B sales without human intervention or approval

    – AI driven procurement – AI Agents talking to Agents lowest price, shipping

    -AI driven manufacturing risk mitigation in procurement, sales and maintenance  

    -Human involvement / need for “human” salespeople evolving with blended AI at its core

    2029 and beyond: Potential AI Dominance

    In 5+ years, AI could become the primary driver of CRM functionality / replace many CRM based features:

    – Autonomous decision-making for many customer-facing processes

    – Predictive modeling of complex market trends and customer behaviors

    – Seamless integration with other business systems for holistic insights

    -Significantly faster response times with AI driven reporting and customer centric personalization enhancing customer service while reducing costs

    AI Features Poised to Transform CRM

    Intelligent Automation

    AI will take over routine tasks, freeing up human workers for higher-value activities. This includes automated data entry, scheduling, and follow-ups [1].

    Hyper-Personalization

    AI-powered CRMs will analyze vast amounts of data to deliver truly personalized experiences for each customer, far beyond current segmentation capabilities [1].

    Predictive Analytics

    Advanced AI models will provide increasingly accurate forecasts of customer behavior, sales trends, and market shifts [2].

    Natural Language Interfaces

    Conversational AI will allow users to interact with CRM systems using natural language, dramatically improving ease of use and adoption rates [3].

    Autonomous Decision-Making

    As AI systems become more sophisticated, they’ll be able to make certain decisions without human intervention, such as adjusting pricing or inventory levels based on real-time data [4].

    Benefits of AI-Enhanced CRM Available Now

    1. Improved efficiency, data capture & access, with blended AI productivity gains
    2. More accurate sales forecasting and lead scoring – enhancing C-Suite confidence
    3. Gold standard customer service experiences through personalization
    4. Better data quality and insights
    5. Reduced human error in data entry and analysis
    6. Significantly reduced data entry and time devoted to CRM maintenance activities
    7. Email writing, reply and auto CRM entry based on sales rep skill & role personalization
    8. Personalized training based on AI assessment of activities and results for all reps
    9. Hyper focused AI enhanced sales processes based directly on CRO sales goals, tracking requirements and 24/7 view of all sales activities with AI driven recommendations
    10. AI enhanced reporting on rep performance with training recommendations, improvement opportunities, or other rolls the AI “sees” they could be much better at than sales
    11. Cull ranking based on unbiased review of performance, potential, opportunities, training performance and client recorded sentiment analysis
    12. Enhanced AI driven cross sell and upsell opportunities    

    Why AI Won’t Completely Replace CRMs

    As noted in the features and benefits previously, AI has enhanced CRM capabilities and will undoubtedly transform enterprise CRM systems in amazing ways we haven’t envisioned yet. With that as a base AI is unlikely to fully replace them in the next five years. This is a mix of legacy CRM systems already deployed, reluctance to change (IT and C-Suite) and legacy enterprise integrations which can slow transitions.

    Companies facing difficult situations that know they must change or go bankrupt, profitable with innovative leadership teams or emerging companies building their AI infrastructure now or in the coming years will be far more likely to be fully AI integrated / replace CRMs.  

    Here are the things that AI can’t do by itself and will require Blended AI to accomplish

    1. Human Touch: Many aspects of customer relationships require human empathy, understanding and perceptual judgment that AI cannot replicate
    2. Complex Decision-Making: High-stakes decisions often require human oversight and contextual understanding. Think internal politics – who know who and how to get things done
    3. Data Privacy Concerns: Regulations and customer trust issues may limit the extent of AI’s autonomy in handling sensitive data
    4. Integration Challenges: Fully replacing existing CRM systems with AI would be a massive undertaking for most organizations (see current legacy system replacement timelines)
    5. Ethical Considerations: The use of AI in customer relationships raises ethical questions that will need to be carefully addressed (see EU AI ACT and recent California AI Act)

    10 Things AI Can Do That Traditional CRMs Cannot

    AI Capability

    Traditional CRM

    Real-Time Sentiment Analysis

    Static Customer Data

    Automated Data Enrichment

    Manual Data Entry

    Predictive Lead Scoring

    Rule-based scoring

    Natural language querying

    Complex Query Languages

    Autonomous Task Prioritization

    Manual Task Management

    Adaptive Sales Forecasting

    Personalize Content Generation

    Anomaly detection in customer behavior

    Cross-Channel Interaction Analysis

    Continuous self-optimization

    Fixed Forecasting Models

    Template Based content Generation

    Threshold based alerts

    Siloed Channel data

    Periodic Manual Updates

    If we stick with the facts vs. the AI CRM enhanced industry marketing puffery CRM is here for the long run (at least for the next 5 years (see legacy systems like Siebel CRM on premise still running). While AI already is and will dramatically enhance CRM capabilities in the coming years, it’s more likely to augment rather than replace CRM systems entirely.

    The future of CRM lies in blended ai. The seamless integration of AI technologies with human expertise to deliver superior customer experiences and business outcomes.

    Thanks for reading and please add your thoughts and comments to the future of AI & CRM!

  • Is AI capable of Breaking the Solow Paradox?

    Is AI capable of Breaking the Solow Paradox?

    Breaking the Solow Paradox: Unlocking AI’s Productivity Potential in the Enterprise

    In 1987, Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Solow famously quipped, “You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics.” This statement, known as the Solow Paradox, encapsulates a dilemma that still resonates today: despite massive investments in technology, particularly in AI and enterprise software, measurable productivity improvements remain elusive for many businesses.

    The Solow Paradox: A Persistent Challenge

    Solow’s observation was based on decades of studying business performance. During the period from the 1960s through the 1990s, companies dramatically increased their spending on technology—by 25% year-over-year in some cases. Despite this investment, productivity, measured by outputs per unit of input, didn’t follow suit. In fact, it often declined, with productivity dropping as much as 3% annually over that time frame.

    Fast forward to today, and the paradox is still very much alive. In industries like customer relationship management (CRM), sales productivity has fallen by 25% in the last five years, even as spending on CRM software has tripled. This mirrors Solow’s paradox—technology is advancing at breakneck speed, but many organizations are still grappling with how to translate these advancements into productivity gains.

    Why Doesn’t Technology Always Improve Productivity?

    At the heart of this issue lies a misalignment between technology adoption and actual user needs. Let’s explore a few key reasons why technology, and especially enterprise software like CRMs and AI, often fails to drive the productivity it promises:

    Low User Adoption

    Despite significant investments in CRM software, a mere 26% of customer-facing teams actively use their CRM every day. This is a staggering statistic considering that CRM systems are designed to streamline sales and service processes, but if the majority of users are not engaging with the platform, it can never deliver on its promises of efficiency and productivity gains.

    Tool Overload

    Sales teams today are overwhelmed by tools—on average, they use 10 different applications just to close deals. Studies show that sales reps spend just 28% of their week actually selling, a number that has declined by 20% over the past five years. Much of this lost time is due to the juggling of tools and the associated administrative work.

    User Frustration

    The cognitive overload from having to switch between multiple applications is significant. 66% of sales reps report feeling “drowned” in tools, and 60% of staff in some studies admitted that they’ve considered leaving their jobs due to frustrations with their CRM software.

    The Solow Paradox in the AI Era

    As we enter the age of AI, the Solow Paradox takes on new dimensions. While AI promises to revolutionize productivity, we’re seeing similar patterns of investment without corresponding gains. Here’s how the paradox applies to AI today:

    1. Implementation Lag: Just as with computers in Solow’s time, there’s a significant lag between AI adoption and productivity gains. Organizations are investing heavily in AI, but many are still in the early stages of figuring out how to effectively integrate it into their workflows.
    2. Skill Mismatch: The rapid advancement of AI technology has created a skills gap. Many employees lack the necessary training to effectively use AI tools, leading to underutilization and reduced productivity.
    3. Overinvestment in Technology, Underinvestment in Complementary Factors: Companies often focus on acquiring the latest AI technology without investing sufficiently in the organizational changes, process redesigns, and employee training necessary to fully leverage these tools.
    4. Data Quality Issues: AI systems are only as good as the data they’re trained on. Many organizations struggle with data quality and integration issues, limiting the effectiveness of their AI implementations.
    5. Measurement Challenges: Traditional productivity metrics may not capture the full value of AI. Improvements in decision-making quality or customer experience, for instance, may not be immediately reflected in standard productivity measures.

    Chart: AI Investment vs. Productivity Growth

    Solow Paradox

    This chart illustrates the growing gap between AI investment and productivity growth, reminiscent of the original Solow Paradox.

    Moving Beyond the Paradox

    To break the cycle of unproductive technology spending, businesses need to focus on these core principles:

    1. User-Centric Design: Ensure AI solutions simplify day-to-day tasks and remove administrative burdens.
    2. Integrated Workflows: Seamlessly integrate AI with existing tools to reduce context switching.
    3. Focus on Real-Time, Actionable Insights: Emulate consumer apps by pushing relevant, timely information to users.
    4. Invest in Training and Change Management: Prioritize upskilling employees to effectively use AI tools.
    5. Redesign Processes: Rethink workflows to fully leverage AI capabilities, rather than simply automating existing processes.
    6. Improve Data Quality: Invest in data infrastructure and governance to ensure AI systems have high-quality inputs.
    7. Develop New Metrics: Create new ways to measure productivity that capture the full value of AI implementations.

    By addressing these factors, businesses can start to bridge the gap between AI investment and productivity gains, potentially breaking the cycle of the Solow Paradox in the AI era.
