It’s vital to capitalize on opportunities and convert leads successfully in order to run a successful business. Relationship selling is a must, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales is there to help. The customer wants to feel appreciated and their business makes a difference. Finding someone to sell them something is easy, but what they really want is someone to guide them to make the best decision. It’s your duty to build rapport with the customer to uncover their needs, and remember, no two customers are ever the same.

As your company continues to grow, this statement will become more and more accurate. New opportunities are always going through the funnel and you need to make sure that you’re ready with the right tools to assist all the new and existing customers. Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales allows you to create individual records for each of your opportunities. This allows you to follow-up with your customers in real-time and makes sure you capitalize on all opportunities, so none fall through the cracks.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales allows you to create profiles for each opportunity and then organize them accordingly. Once the opportunity has been created, you can document and record all of the interactions, notes, and reminders you might need to re-engage in the future. No matter where the opportunity is in the sales process, tasks and events can be crated on the spot to remind you when to reach out to the customer again.

Looking beyond the dozens of features that various CRM Systems have to offer, there are specific features which your CRM system must adequately provide to ensure your business is able to attract and retain customers successfully.  Here are 5 CRM Features your company needs and should look out for:

Remote Access

Your CRM System should give your employees access to customer information remotely from any location and device. Remote access is critical to obtain real-time information as well as provide your employees a way to update your CRM system with vital information on clients and partners.

Security

If you are a company where there is an overlap between departments in terms of roles and responsibilities, it would be easy for the wrong person to gain access to confidential information from your CRM system. It's important to put in measures which monitor what information is accessed through your CRM system. Additionally, encrypted access and a secure server is important if you're remotely accessing your company's real-time information from your CRM system.

There is much heated debate about CRM systems in the marketplace. Many companies have invested thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars into a new CRM system that the sales reps won't touch with a 10-foot pole.

The funny irony is that all companies have customers and all companies have some way of keeping information in a spreadsheet or accounting system of who their customers are and some characteristics of that customer. So why is it so difficult for companies to make the quantum leap forward to formalize their CRM processes?

What companies need to keep in mind when looking to formalize their CRM practices with an investment in technology is that the technology should facilitate their sales process and improve key sales metrics like:

• suspect to lead close ratios
• sales revenue per rep
• more effective use of marketing $

We specialize in both Salesforce.com and MS Dynamics CRM. Both are very capable systems, but what makes the difference is how the system is implemented and how it is inculcated into the organization to maximize adoption of the new system.
