Perk Scales Call Volume 3x with Prospecting Agent

Perk (formerly TravelPerk), an AI-native travel and spend management platform, used Salesforce's Prospecting Agent to eliminate manual research workflows, enabling sales reps to focus on high-value outreach. The result: 3x call volume, 2x email reply rate, and 60% of pipeline built by the AI agent within one week of deployment.

The manual workflow was a massive time-suck. Reps were spending a good portion of their day on research and administrative work rather than connecting with prospects. We were hit with a primary friction point in our 'time-to-touch' that prevented our team from doing what they do best.

Our reps have shifted from being data researchers to true consultants. They now start their day with a curated list of warm leads. Because the agent offloads the research phase, our reps have reclaimed hours of their day to focus on high-quality personalization and meaningful human interaction.

We are leaning fully into this technology because it's about more than efficiency, it's about identifying the high-value opportunities that promote revenue.
