Selling smarter in today's economy

A highly effective and efficient sales organization is key to thriving in today’s economic climate. You need to sustain sales momentum, reduce erosion of your customer base, and ensure highly agile decision-making to identify and seize new opportunities. Your people need to spend more time getting close to your most valuable, profitable customers to farm new business — and less time on internal inefficiencies and administrative hurdles. Sales solutions from Microsoft can help – automating key processes, enabling easy identification of high-value prospects, connecting selling teams, and keeping an eye on critical performance metrics. The result: quicker time to value, more effective selling, lower cost-per-sale, and measurable impact on the bottom line.

Get To Know Your Customers

Sell to the right buyers

The key to high performance selling is knowing who your customers are, what they like, and most importantly, whether they are going to buy. Microsoft technologies can help you get a single view of your prospects and customers across the entire organization, using the tools your teams already know and use, like Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Office with views that are customized to their preferences and goals. The consolidated view, combined with rich analytics for data mining, means you’ll be better able to pinpoint opportunities for cross-selling and up-selling, identify key market trends, tap into new revenue streams—and even increase the size of your deals.

Optimize Your Selling Cycle

Shorten sales cycles through streamlined selling

Microsoft technologies help simplify how you manage all aspects of selling by automating many routine tasks. For instance, you can now manage leads and opportunities across all sales and marketing functions with opportunity management and deal tracking. With a focus on efficiency and consistency, qualifying leads, forecasting, and increasing pipeline accuracy is faster and simpler than ever before. The result is a quicker sales cycle with higher conversion rates and the ability to drive best practices throughout the organization. And because sales personnel spend less time on routine tasks, they’ll be able to increase the time they spend with customers and devote more time to creating a more consistent engagement process.

Sell Better Together

Sell anytime, anywhere

We all know that the best way to make the sale is to be responsive to the customer. Microsoft communication and collaboration solutions pull together people, information, and resources into a streamlined workflow process--no matter whether people work down the hall or around the globe. You’ll be able to simplify how team members work together on complex deals, bring together multiple information sources so everyone is working with the same information, plus reduce the amount of time it takes to find data. In addition, our solutions make it easier to find industry experts within your organization and take advantage of best practices. It all adds up to faster, more compelling documents that target the customer’s exact needs.

Turn Data Into Action

Improve sales performance with better insight

The successful sales organization is a nimble one. Get full visibility across multiple sales systems coupled with powerful forecasting tools. You’ll be able to make better decisions that are based on real-time information—and with increased confidence in the accuracy of your forecasts comes the ability to be more agile and responsive to changing market conditions. And with customized dashboards and scorecards, you can monitor performance more closely, which helps to identify revenue trends and risks before they become problems.
