Intro

Agentforce is here, and it’s a game changer.
Real-time routing, AI recommendations, seamless omnichannel experiences, it’s the next evolution of Salesforce’s service cloud. Companies are jumping on board fast.

But here’s the problem: most teams think Agentforce will just “work” the moment it’s turned on. Spoiler alert—it won’t.

The Harsh Truth: Agentforce Isn’t a One-Click Upgrade

It’s easy to get caught up in the Salesforce marketing hype. Agentforce sounds futuristic. And it is. But it’s not magic.

Just because the platform is new doesn’t mean your internal processes are.

We’re already seeing companies roll it out and instantly face:

  • Confused agents who can’t find what they need

  • Automations that don’t match real-world workflows

  • KPIs that aren’t connected to actual performance

  • Data stuck in silos because integrations weren’t planned

What’s Really Going On

The reality? Agentforce needs strategy.
It’s incredibly powerful—but only when it’s customized to how your team actually works. That means:

  • Mapping your customer journey and aligning it with how Agentforce routes cases

  • Making sure your agents see exactly what they need on one screen

  • Connecting every tool they rely on—email, chat, phone, knowledge base—into the same flow

  • Automating the boring stuff so agents can focus on customer moments that actually matter

If you skip this part, you're just buying a Ferrari and leaving it in neutral.

The Cost of Getting It Wrong

If you're thinking, “Well, we’ll figure it out as we go”—here’s what that looks like:

  • Agents waste time in clunky interfaces

  • Leadership loses visibility on real-time metrics

  • Customers feel it—and leave

  • Your team loses confidence in Salesforce altogether

Customization = Control

Here’s the good news: Agentforce can be your organization’s secret weapon—if it’s implemented the right way. When it’s fully tailored to your workflows, integrated with the right systems, and supported by clear reporting—you’re not just solving support tickets. You’re building a scalable experience engine.

And that’s where teams like BKONECT come in.

We don’t just flip switches. We step in as your strategic Salesforce partner—from discovery to implementation to team training. We’ve seen what works. And what falls apart.

What you must know is that

Agentforce is not “set it and forget it.” It’s not a new coat of paint on your old CRM.
It’s a platform that demands intention—and rewards teams that get it right.

If you’re rolling out Agentforce (or thinking about it), take a breath. Then bring in someone who knows what they're doing.
