What if you could double your customer support team's effectiveness without hiring a single new employee? Sounds too good to be true, right? But that's exactly what businesses are achieving with Salesforce's Agentforce platform. Every day, support teams are drowning in tickets, burning out their best agents, and watching their customer satisfaction scores take a nosedive. The cost of scaling support teams traditionally is skyrocketing, while customer expectations for instant, 24/7 support keep climbing.

But there's a solution that's transforming support teams across industries. Today, we're diving deep into real-world success stories and practical implementations of AI-powered support that's cutting response times in half and revolutionizing how teams work.

I'm thrilled to welcome Aaron Godby, Founder and CEO of Green Irony, who's been at the forefront of this transformation. Aaron and his team have implemented some of the first Agentforce solutions with Salesforce, including a groundbreaking project at UNC Charlotte that's completely revolutionized their student support system. As a seasoned technology executive and AI implementation specialist, Aaron has helped countless organizations turn the promise of AI into actual, measurable results. He's the perfect guide to help us understand how to achieve these incredible efficiency gains.

The AI Hat Podcast host Mike Allton asked Aaron Godby about:

✨ Strategic Implementation Matters → Success with AI support tools requires careful planning and clear success metrics.

✨ Human-AI Collaboration → AI doesn't replace support teams; it empowers them to focus on high-value interactions.

✨ Measurable ROI → Companies can achieve verified 50% time savings while improving customer satisfaction.
