## Why Teams Use It

Agentforce Prospecting helps teams scale outbound prospecting without adding more manual work. Instead of switching between disconnected tools and doing repetitive research, sellers can review agent recommendations that are based on your CRM context and prospecting criteria.

- Scale outreach capacity without adding overhead.
- Reduce manual account and contact research time.
- Bring prospecting workflows into Salesforce.

## When It’s a Good Fit

Agentforce Prospecting is a strong fit when outbound prospecting is an important part of your pipeline generation. It’s especially useful for teams that need consistent account qualification and prospect discovery across regions, segments, or industries.

If your motion is primarily inbound or product-led only, the relative impact can be lower.
