Integrating Machine Learning with Salesforce for Enhanced Predictive Analytics

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of machine learning models with Salesforce to enhance predictive analytics for optimizing sales strategies. The research problem centers on evaluating how different machine learning algorithms, such as Decision Trees, Random Forests, and Neural Networks, perform within the Salesforce CRM system, and the impact of these models on predictive accuracy and real-time decision-making. Employing a design that includes data collection from Salesforce, model training and evaluation, and integration into Salesforce dashboards, the study provides insights into the effectiveness of these models. Major findings reveal that machine learning models significantly improve predictive accuracy compared to traditional methods, enable more responsive decision-making through real-time analytics, and positively impact sales metrics. The study concludes that integrating machine learning with Salesforce offers substantial benefits for sales forecasting and strategy optimization, though challenges related to real-time data processing and user experience remain. These findings underscore the potential of machine learning to transform CRM analytics and recommend further exploration of advanced models and practical implementation strategies.
