What Is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales?

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is an advanced CRM solution, providing the contact management and business intelligence tools needed to turn more leads into business.

With intuitive functionality, sales teams can follow all prospect communications from first contact to transaction from within Dynamics 365. They can then use insights generated to help move other potential customers through the sales funnel faster and increase revenues.

For sales managers, Dynamics 365 delivers comprehensive and accurate forecasting of potential revenue, as well as up-to-the-minute performance monitoring of their sales team.

Benefits Of Dynamics 365 For Sales Teams

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales can assist your teams in the following key ways:

  • Increase sales
    Dynamics 365 provides all of the CRM functionality necessary to support sales activities, making both teams and managers more effective. As a result, over three-quarters of sales managers surveyed have stated that a CRM solution increases sales in their business. Microsoft has even calculated that, on average, a Dynamics 365 solution will return over £15 to a business for every £1 invested.
  • Manage leads & customer engagement
    Automating and simplifying lead and customer engagement can significantly shorten the sales cycle, meaning your teams have time to convert more business. Dynamics 365 streamlines contact information and records, making it easier to quickly see key requirements and last contact. Dynamics can also be used to prompt sales teams to undertake follow-up communications, ensuring leads never go cold.
  • On-the-go functionality with the Dynamics 365 Sales app 
    Microsoft’s dedicated sales app allows salespeople to access and update information from Dynamics 365 on the go. This means your teams are always armed with the information they need and can respond to new requirements quickly.
  • Personalise communication
    Over 75% of customers value personalised customer service as part of their sales experience. A Dynamics CRM makes it easy to track all aspects of customer communication, allowing your sales team to engage your customers and prospects on their interests and priorities. Dynamics 365 connects intuitively with both Outlook and LinkedIn to keep track of company and contact updates, allowing you to further personalise communication. And with Sales Insights, you can even get AI-style intelligence about which leads should be prioritised based on buying signals in emails – or which prospects are best left to another day!
  • Track performance & pipeline
    Dynamics 365 makes it easy to see both historic and real-time sales data, helping to predict upcoming sales trends and ensuring supply and resource levels. Data can also help sales managers to know which team members need their efforts focused upon, or which deals are most likely to convert. Power BI can then be used to turn sales data into understandable graphs and visualisations, allowing you to compare performance metrics with just a few clicks.
