Enable Product Recommendations for Opportunities and Accounts

Salespeople can view recommended products while working on opportunities and accounts. Product recommendations are displayed based on machine learning models that analyze past sales to identify products that are often bought together.

By understanding what recommended products and services that are likely to be bought, salespeople can recommend products for up-sell or cross-sell based on recommendations generated from machine learning.

Sales administrators with the required privileges can enable the Product Recommendation for Opportunity and features by using the self service guided process for Sales Intelligence features.
