Einstein for Service isn’t just Salesforce hype—it’s a real-deal AI toolkit that helps customer service teams work faster and smarter. From bots to case classification to analytics, it’s the kind of automation that actually helps humans do better work.

🚨 Bad data is killing your CRM. 🚨

AI is only as smart as the data you feed it—so if your Salesforce org is full of duplicates, outdated contacts, and missing fields, your AI-powered insights won’t be worth much.

The first step to clean, reliable data? Using the right import tool:
✅ Data Import Wizard → Small, admin-friendly imports
✅ Dataloader.io → Cloud-based automation
✅ Salesforce Data Loader → Large, complex jobs

But importing data is just the beginning—I’m also sharing my top strategies for keeping your CRM clean, accurate, and AI-ready.

Are you tracking the right metrics in your contact center?

Handle Time, Speed to Answer, and First Contact Resolution (FCR) are the Big 3 that can make or break your customer service operation. But too often, businesses focus on the numbers instead of what they actually mean.

✅ AHT should measure efficiency—not push agents to rush through calls.
✅ Speed to Answer is important, but not if customers still leave frustrated.
✅ FCR is the gold standard—solving issues on the first try saves time and money.

In this post, I break down these key metrics, explain how to track them in Salesforce Service Cloud, and—most importantly—how to use them to improve efficiency without sacrificing customer experience.
