More specifically, IBM's watsonx Sales Agents on watsonx Orchestrate can understand a sales team's goals and take action. According to IBM's example, when a sales leader says, 'Generate enablement content for Sun Corp on Product X,' multiple AI agents begin working: One pulls Customer Relationship Management (CRM) data, another collects case studies and product usage details, and a third drafts personalized outreach materials. The AI also creates a matching email sequence that is tailored to the client.
These tools also help sales teams deal with the major challenge of disconnected systems. In fact, many teams use multiple tools that don't talk to each other, which can lead to mistakes or suboptimal customer service when following up with prospects or current customers. However, IBM's agentic AI connects them with real-time CRM updates that can help prioritize leads and provide better customer service.
