Episode notes

AI agents fail because companies lack proper data context and change management. Ariel Kelman is President and Chief Marketing Officer at Salesforce, leading their global marketing organization and AgentForce platform development. He discusses Salesforce's trust-first approach using their Data360 customer data platform to provide AI agents with complete customer context, implementing two-way email campaigns that allow interactive customer engagement, and deploying lead qualification agents that generated $27 million in incremental pipeline by processing 200,000 previously unworked leads.
