What is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales?

No matter the size, businesses trust their sales team to turn prospects into loyal, recurring customers. Salespeople are given the task of forming and nurturing strong relationships with customers to provide them with the best experience possible. As many sales teams know from experience, this process is easier said than done.

OVERVIEW

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is an adaptive selling solution that aims to help teams navigate the ever-changing realities in sales. As we have witnessed the power of technology over the past few years, Dynamics 365 Sales is a perfect example of how harnessing technology can result in greater efficiency and performance.

A pre-built intelligence system in Dynamics 365 Sales assists sales teams through each buyer’s journey, helping them remain customer-centric at each step. You’ll be able to identify the right buyers and communicate with them through their preferred channel. Dynamics 365 Sales’ intelligence functions are comparable to “reading between the lines.” While speaking with a customer on the phone, you can view live insights about customer sentiment and priorities. This allows you to adjust accordingly and make a sale! This technology alone will transform your standard sales practices.

FEATURES

Dynamics 365 Sales comes with many features that boost sales productivity. They include:

Customer 360° View

You will be able to see a comprehensive overview of each contact in Dynamics 365 Sales. Whether it’s communications, opportunities, history, or anything else, you can see all the relevant information in one place.

Store and View Documents within Records

If multiple people are working on one opportunity, it’s convenient to have all associated documents, presentations, etc. in a central, easy-to-find location. What better place to store them than the record itself? Working with SharePoint will keep all of these items stored and secure.

Activities Timeline

If you haven’t noticed, a significant benefit of Dynamics 365 Sales is that you can view everything in one location, ultimately saving you time. This is also available in the Activities Timeline. While working on an opportunity, your scheduled appointments, emails, and phone calls are visible.

Document Templates

I am sure we can all agree that templates make life a lot easier. Excel and Word templates in Dynamics 365 Sales allow you to begin editing without worrying about adding your company’s branding – it’s already there!
