But for most sales reps, it\u2019s anything but. They are forced to hunt for the right combination of SKUs, interpret complex pricing rules, check legal terms, and wait on approvals, all while under pressure to move fast. A single mistake can lead to delays, rework, or worse: sending an incorrect quote. This inefficiency directly slows down deal velocity and revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why Salesforce is introducing Agentforce for Revenue. It brings&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/agentforce\/digital-labor\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">digital labor<\/a>&nbsp;that takes on routine work like quoting, follow-ups, and data entry, so every rep can focus on building relationships and driving revenue. Embedded in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/sales\/revenue-lifecycle-management\/?d=cta-body-promo-8\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Revenue Cloud<\/a>, this solution combines the power of humans and AI agents to streamline the entire quote-to-cash process, from quoting and contracting to ordering and invoicing, with greater speed, accuracy, and confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Instant quotes with Agentforce for Revenue<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/agentforce\/?d=cta-body-promo-8\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Agentforce<\/a>&nbsp;empowers reps to create accurate, customized quotes in seconds. Reps simply describe what they need \u2014 like \u201cQuote a new generator with the usage-based energy pack\u201d \u2014 and Agentforce instantly generates the quote, automatically pulling the correct products, pricing, and terms. Salesforce is already using Agentforce internally and has seen a 75% decrease in quoting time along with an 87% reduction in clicks for its own sales team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s not just Salesforce seeing results. Agentforce is designed to deliver quoting speed and accuracy to customers across any industry, from manufacturing to healthcare. Take AdMed, Inc., a leader in pharmaceutical and biotech training, which is now leveraging Revenue Cloud to modernize its sales process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRevenue Cloud is transforming the way we do business,\u201d said Bill Francy, President of Client Services at AdMed, Inc. \u201cWe\u2019re currently piloting the new quoting agent, and we expect it to cut manual work, accelerate deal cycles, and get quotes to clients faster than ever. It\u2019s not just about efficiency. It\u2019s about unlocking more closed-won opportunities and scaling smarter.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Faster, smarter product configuration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generating a quote is only the first step. To truly unlock speed and accuracy across the entire quoting journey, sellers also need a smarter way to configure products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a quote is kicked off by Agentforce, sellers use Revenue Cloud\u2019s enhanced Product Configurator to quickly tailor complex offerings, including quotes with more than a thousand line items. Unlike traditional CPQ tools that rely solely on rigid, rule-heavy systems, Salesforce\u2019s new constraint-based logic engine augments those traditional approaches, giving customers the flexibility to handle whatever complexity their business demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> It uses bidirectional rules and point-and-click templates to dramatically reduce rule maintenance and authoring time. Think of it as a GPS for quoting that guides reps to valid configurations in real time, speeding up time-to-quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it matters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s revenue operations are more complex than ever.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.deloittedigital.com\/content\/dam\/digital\/global\/legacy\/documents\/offerings\/offering-20231108-b2b-commerce-trends.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">According to Deloitte<\/a>, 71% of B2B executives struggle with manual, fragmented sales processes \u2014 and 13% of deals are lost because of disconnected tools. As hybrid monetization models become the norm, reps don\u2019t have time to manually piece together subscriptions, usage-based pricing, and service offerings. Revenue Cloud, powered by Agentforce, eliminates that complexity, unifying all transaction types on a single quote, and carrying the transaction data through to the order and invoice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make this possible, Salesforce rebuilt its CPQ solution as the all-new Revenue Cloud: the industry\u2019s first composable, AI agent-powered revenue platform. Its API-first architecture embeds every revenue business process within accessible APIs, making it easy for agents to sit atop and interact with those processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSalesforce CPQ helped usher in the second wave of revenue management by enabling recurring revenue at scale,\u201d said Meredith Schmidt, EVP and GM of Revenue Cloud at Salesforce. \u201cNow, with Revenue Cloud, we\u2019re delivering the third wave: revenue management powered by an API-first, composable, and agent-ready platform that lets revenue flow seamlessly across every channel, from sales reps and partner portals to self-service and field service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agentforce and Revenue Cloud unify structured and unstructured data (purchase history, product catalogs, connected asset insights) for timely, accurate actions. This data, harmonized in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/data\/?d=cta-body-promo-8\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Data Cloud<\/a>, powers Agentforce\u2019s agentic AI, enabling teams to deploy autonomous, goal-oriented agents that can reason and act. Unlike traditional AI assistants that merely suggest next steps, Agentforce executes tasks end-to-end, freeing sellers for higher-value work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the entire process, data is protected by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/artificial-intelligence\/trusted-ai\/?d=cta-body-promo-8\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Salesforce Trust Layer<\/a>. Agents operate securely within employee-specific permissions, helping to ensure both agent and employee access only authorized data and actions. This allows every quote to comply with company policies, pricing rules, and customer data, significantly reducing time-to-quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dig deeper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These innovations are part of Salesforce\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/news\/stories\/summer-2025-product-release-announcement\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Summer \u201925 release<\/a>, the biggest yet for Revenue Cloud, and all are available today. With this release, Revenue Cloud provides teams with greater power, flexibility, and speed than ever before. Additional capabilities include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seamless Workflows with Slack and CRM:<\/strong>&nbsp;Agentforce is available in Slack via API, as well as from the opportunity, quote, and account records within Salesforce. This means sellers can start, edit, and finalize quotes from wherever they are, all within the same flow of work. Quotes follow the transaction, so there\u2019s no rekeying or duplication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Revenue Cloud Billing:<\/strong>&nbsp;As a complete revenue platform, Revenue Cloud\u2019s API-first architecture empowers users to create their own agents to support any process across the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/sales\/cpq\/quote-to-cash\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">quote-to-cash lifecycle<\/a>, including billing. With all data from quote to invoice on a single platform, Revenue Cloud Billing facilitates accurate and transparent invoicing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Revenue Management Intelligence:&nbsp;<\/strong>Sales, finance, and operations teams can accelerate decision-making with real-time visibility into their entire&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/sales\/revenue-lifecycle-management\/?d=cta-body-promo-8\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">revenue lifecycle<\/a>. Tableau Next, embedded in Revenue Cloud, provides a clear view of key metrics like pricing trends, order flow, and revenue performance, empowering teams to act instantly on insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For current customers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Salesforce remains committed to supporting current Salesforce CPQ customers, as it continues to be a robust solution for many businesses. Customers can renew contracts, add licenses, and count on full support. For those ready to begin their migration to Revenue Cloud as their complete, agentic revenue platform, Salesforce offers a strong ecosystem of trusted partners to help guide the transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sellers generate accurate quotes in seconds by simply describing what they need \u2014 like \u201cQuote 25 licenses with a 10% discount\u201d \u2014 using Agentforce for Revenue, embedded within Revenue Cloud.
