Let\u2019s take a look at just a few of these solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"marketing\"><span>Marketing <\/span> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you are in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/products\/marketing-cloud\/products\/\">marketing<\/a> function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to predict the likelihood that a customer will engage with your campaigns in order to maximise campaign effectiveness. A good way of achieving this would be to predict the likelihood that a subscriber will engage (open, click-through and convert) through each channel (email, social, etc). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a job for Supervised Learning. With Supervised Learning, we will be able to create a score for Engagement based on historical engagement data. You need historical data to train the model &#8211; 90 days of engagement data including Opens, Clicks, Unsubscribes, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the predicted Engagement score, you could personalise the email messages and campaigns each subscriber is sent to optimise the chance of positive engagement with that content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Using predictive Engagement Scoring, a Salesforce customer in the travel industry was able to achieve a 66% drop in unsubscribe rate and a 13% revenue increase.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"layout-six wp-block-salesforce-blog-offer\">\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__wrapper\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__content\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-offer__title\"><span>Make every moment count to deliver success now<\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-offer__description\">Make your spending go further and drive efficiency with Marketing Cloud.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/products\/marketing-cloud\/overview\/?d=inc-blog-banner\">Explore Marketing Cloud<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__media\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/08\/blog-offer-astro-marketing.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"blog-offer-astro-marketing\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/08\/blog-offer-astro-marketing.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/08\/blog-offer-astro-marketing.jpg?w=300&amp;h=169 300w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/08\/blog-offer-astro-marketing.jpg?w=150&amp;h=84 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"commerce\"><span>Commerce <\/span> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your marketing team have been very successful in driving subscribers to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/products\/commerce-cloud\/overview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">e-commerce<\/a> site.

A good way of achieving this would be to <b>use personalisation to surface relevant product assortments throughout the shopper journey<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This looks very much like an Unsupervised Learning task. First, we have insights into customers\u2019 buying patterns, site browsing tendencies, and relationships between search terms and products purchased. We couple this with information about the current shopper and their specific browsing histories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result of the model is personalised (predictive) product sorting.

Luckily you have a lot of Opportunities through the good work the marketing team are doing &#8211; but with so many opportunities, where do you best spend your time? A good way of achieving this would be to predict a score for each Opportunity indicating the \u2018quality\u2019 &#8211; allowing you to concentrate on the best Opportunities in the given financial period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of prediction modelling can be achieved with Supervised Learning. With Supervised learning, we need training data &#8211; historical Opportunity data in this instance. Specifically, you need more than 200 Closed\/Won Opportunities and at least 200 Closed\/Lost Opportunities over the past 24 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result of this model is a prioritised list of Opportunities &#8211; allowing the individual seller to maximise their revenue creation potential. In addition, because scoring can be used in forecasting, more objective sales forecasting can be achieved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using AI to indicate the optimum use of time has a positive impact on Opportunity close rates. <b>One large Salesforce customer in the consumer goods space experienced a 48% increase in win rates by concentrating on the correct Opportunities.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"layout-six wp-block-salesforce-blog-offer\">\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__wrapper\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__content\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-offer__title\"><span>Reduce costs and increase productivity<\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-offer__description\">Max out efficiency with better automation, data, and intelligence.

It would be great to learn what resolved previous similar cases so we can maximise agent productivity (and customer satisfaction).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, this is a great fit for Supervised learning.

In this instance, we need at least 1000 cases &#8211; at least 500 cases with knowledge base articles attached to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result of this model is that agents get Article Recommendations to resolve a current case based on its similarity to previously resolved cases.

What these have in common is that complex technology is being used to address business use cases. Another thing they have in common is that,&nbsp;<strong>although the technology being utilised is complex, no specialised Machine Learning or Data Science knowledge was needed to realise the benefits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we discussed at the start of this post, Salesforce has a rich history of allowing businesses to realise the benefits of complex technology &#8211; without having to be experts in that technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A \u2018classical\u2019 Machine Learning approach to the business needs above would involve steps such as; data collection, data transformation, data sampling, feature selection, model selection, score calibration and integrating the model results into the user application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only when all of these steps are complete (and most likely many iterations) can business value be realised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salesforce<\/a>&nbsp;has a data model which is often customised for each business &#8211; this allows us to automate feature engineering. Salesforce also provides automatic model building and customer-specific model selection. As the Machine Learning capabilities are part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salesforce Customer 360<\/a>, the model outcomes are automatically available to the business users &#8211; and can be continuously refined based on business interactions. All of these complex stages are abstracted away behind simple declarative admin-friendly interfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we look at just one step &#8211; model selection, we can see the complexity Salesforce is relieving us from. For each use case that we build (e.g. Opportunity Scoring), Salesforce tries many different models for a given customer. We make the hyper-parameters vary automatically: for example, Model 1 will be a Random Forest with 50 trees, Model 2 will be a Random Forest with 100 trees, Model 3 will be a Logit with L1 regularisation and Model 4 will be a Logit with L2 regularisation.
