| **Scenario overview** | This demo shows how watsonx Orchestrate can be used by sales representatives to assist with cross-sell/upsell opportunities. To illustrate this, you will take on the persona of an insurance seller who uses watsonx Orchestrate to retrieve a list of customers from Salesforce, make product recommendations, then generate a personalized offer that is sent using Microsoft Outlook.|

Unfortunately, agents in this office are facing a number of challenges that prevent them from performing at their best:
- Searching their Salesforce system effectively for sales opportunities is time consuming and requires a lot of skill... skills that not everyone on the team possesses, especially new hires who need to be trained.
- Matching customer circumstances to the most optimal and competitive products is time consuming and requires expert product knowledge. The information about products, customers, and policies is spread over multiple systems and spreadsheets.
- Multiple systems and applications are used to perform customer outreach (Salesforce, Outlook, and so on). It takes time to switch between these applications to find the required information. Data is copied and pasted between applications and inevitably errors are made.

- There isn't time to create a personalized email for each customer so instead, sellers use templates...but they know that the emails that are produced this way are often ignored by their customers.

Let's look at how this prospecting work can be done more effectively with watsonx Orchestrate.
- We’ll use a chat interface to extract data from Salesforce that leverages a pre-configured search to find customers with recent life events.
- We’ll match these customers to the most suitable and competitive products using an AI-infused automation that represents the digitized business knowledge of a product expert.
- Instead of using an email template, we’ll feed the customer information and recommended product details into a generative AI model. This model will draft a prospecting email that a human-in-the-loop can review and edit with any specific information for this customer.
- Finally, we’ll automate the creation and dispatch of the email, but we won’t have to open Outlook and copy over email addresses, email text, or product info. <br/><br/>
