Salesforce reported its AI sales agents save sellers an average of six hours a week. Its survey covered 24 customers.
Salesforce published "The ROI Report: Sales Cloud Agents" on 10 November.
Sales Cloud tracks customers and deals. Its AI agents log calls and research accounts without a person typing.
The company says the agents save sales reps an average of six hours a week. It also says 63% of customers surveyed report more accurate and complete CRM data, the records in their customer system, while 57% of sales leaders surveyed agree the agents help raise revenue without adding staff.
The method note sits at the bottom of the release. The figures come from an online survey of 24 Sales Cloud customers, run on 21 and 22 July 2026. Some were invited by Salesforce and some came through a research panel. All were screened as active users of the agents.
If all 24 answered, 57% is about 14 people and 63% is about 15.
The report names no customer behind any figure and gives no revenue number. The six hours are what respondents reported, with no baseline.
Salesforce's own conclusion is that AI "isn't replacing the sales rep; it's rescuing the profession".
