Choosing the Right Microsoft Dynamics Partner

Effectively Manage a Sales Person’s Time with Microsoft Dynamics CRM

In today’s connected world, we as sales people are pulled in many different directions and asked to do many different things that take away from your direct sales activities. This may include updating the latest sales forecast spreadsheet or meeting with your manager to provide account status. Not to mention the endless back and forth with inside sales to get updates on customer requests or changes on quotes and orders that we all deal with every day. In some studies it has been reported that tasks not associated primarily with selling can take up to 60-70% of a salesperson’s time.

So what is the solution?  

Solutions like Microsoft Dynamics CRM and CRM for Distribution can dramatically reduce the time spent on administrative tasks, increase your selling time, helping you close more deals making more money.
