Meet Hunter: A Digital Teammate That Works Your Sales Pipeline Around the Clock

# What Hunter does Hunter is a prospecting agent embedded in Sales Cloud that covers the first mile of the deal cycle. It finds accounts and contacts that match buyer intent, researches them using your CRM data and external signals, prioritizes who to engage, and moves ready prospects into outreach or a seller's cadence.

# How a typical day looks Hunter is designed to run continuously so reps can focus on high-value conversations.

• Morning: Hunter ranks accounts, leads, and contacts by intent and fit so you know where to start.
• Midday: Qualified contacts flow directly to the Engagement Agent for automated outreach or into a sales cadence for human follow-up.
• Ongoing: It drafts personalized emails, handles routine replies and objections, books meetings, and nurtures contacts that aren't ready yet.

# Why this matters for pipeline coverage

# Real usage signals and outcomes At Salesforce, Agentforce tools have generated tens of thousands of summaries and personalized emails to support prospecting and outreach.
