Important Aspects of Sales Cloud Einstein

a. Einstein Lead Scoring : Focus on highest value leads first

    • From Setup | Einstein Sales | Assisted Setup
    • If it’s your first time visiting the setup page, click Get Started.

Note : The Sales Cloud Einstein setup page shows all the steps you need for Sales Cloud Einstein deployment, including how to assign Einstein to users.

    • Click Set Up next to Einstein Leading Scoring.
    • On the Settings page, click Set Up Now.
    • Choose the lead conversion milestone that matches your business practices. Does your sales team create opportunities when they convert leads, or do they simply convert leads to accounts and contacts?
    • Click Enable.
    • Using the Lightning App Builder, make sure that the Einstein Lead Score component was added to Lightning pages for leads. In Salesforce Classic, add the Einstein Score field to lead page layouts. The Einstein Score field can’t be used on the same page layout as the Lead Score Distribution or Conversion Rate by Lead Score report components.
    • After insights are available, add the Einstein Score field to public lead list views. Salesforce automatically adds this field to default list views.

Note : Follow same steps as Einstein Lead Scoring to enable Opportunity Insight and other following features

c. Einstein Account Insights : Discovers key business developments impacting your customers

d. Einstein Activity Capture : Logs data automatically so you can spend more time selling

e. Einstein Automated Contacts : Detects & recommends new contacts that can be added in few clicks

Note :

1. Opportunity Insights requires Activity Capture

2. Einstein Requires Standard Lead Conversion to Opportunity

3. Einstein Activity Capture requires Gmail / Office 365

Important FAQ’s:

1. Do I need to deploy to all users?

No, Once the permission set license is available, you can decide on how many users should have access to sales cloud Einstein

2. Is Lightning Required?

Yes, To benefit from the rich UX visualizations of Sales Cloud Einstein (e.g., Einstein Lead Scoring and Einstein Opportunity Insights in Assistant), you need to be on Salesforce Lightning.

If you are still on salesforce classic, you can still use the lead score from Einstein Lead Scoring as a field. However , you will not get the visibility into why the lead was scored as such.
