What are the best practices for deploying Agentforce in an organization

Rolling out new tech in your company can be tough—especially when it’s AI like Agentforce. But when done right, it can change the game for your team. If you want Agentforce to really work for you, here are six smart moves to follow, straight from SOLVD.cloud’s experience in the field.

1. Know What Success Looks Like

Before you build anything, ask yourself: What do we want to get out of Agentforce?

Are you aiming for:

  • Faster case handling?
  • Higher customer satisfaction?
  • Easier onboarding for new agents?

Setting clear goals from the start helps you know if things are working later on.

“The question to ask yourself is, what does success look like with Agentforce in your org?” — James Grayson, SOLVD Consultant

2. Choose Agentforce’s Role in Your Company

Think about where Agentforce fits in. What tasks can it help with? What workflows can it make easier?

Some ideas:

  • Use Knowledge-Fed Agents to improve customer service
  • Use Sales Coach to train your sales team
  • Build custom agents that help with tasks unique to your team

Agentforce is flexible—make it work for you.

3. Test in a Safe Place First

Don’t roll it out company-wide just yet. Build and test in a sandbox first.

  • Let a small group of users try it out
  • Choose people open to giving honest feedback
  • Make sure it doesn’t mess with your live systems

This helps spot problems early and makes training easier later.

“Sandboxes are great because they allow users to get in and test and train on products without any risk to your live data.” — James Grayson, SOLVD Consultant

4. Set Smart Access Rules

Only give access to what people need. That’s the “least privilege” rule.

  • Sales reps don’t need access to the service console
  • Service reps don’t need admin settings
  • Protect sensitive data by limiting what agents can change

It keeps your system clean, safe, and simple.

5. Train People the Right Way

Even the best tool won’t help if nobody uses it. That’s why user adoption is key.

Try this:

  • Pick a team “champion” to lead by example
  • Train each role differently (admins vs reps vs managers)
  • Let people try it hands-on in the sandbox

People learn best by doing—not just watching slides.

6. Be Ready to Change Things

Even with a great plan, you might need to pivot. If something isn’t working, tweak it.

“Instead of committing to a dying project, iterate. Make changes, do what you need to, to create a product that is useful for your company.” — James Grayson, SOLVD Consultant

Testimonials

Our clients say

From my initial call with Spencer through project implementation with John and Evan, my experience with the SOLVD team was excellent. They were quick to understand our business needs, clear when explaining the reasoning behind proposed solutions, transparent when reporting on progress and timeline, and all around enjoyable to work with. Would highly recommend and looking forward to continue working with them in the future!

Veronica Wong Director of Operations at Pathstream

SOLVD was very straight forward with everything needed to complete the project. No surprises, no issues, and cost was aligned with the estimate. They made implementation easy and quick.

Matt Benzaquen Sr Manager, Sales Strategy at Instabug

As a rule, I'm pretty stingy with my recommendations. So it's a pleasure for me to recommend Solvd as a top-flight Salesforce consultancy. Solvd recently led our company's conversion to the Lightning interface and did it on time, on budget and made it easy for me and my team. I know I'll use their services again, and am confident they can do the same for you.
