Sales Accelerator in Dynamics 365 for Sales

Sales Accelerator is a new feature in Microsoft Dynamics 365 that was released in April 2020. It empowers sales teams to concentrate on their most important leads and opportunities by organizing them into an intelligent work queue. Prior to the sales accelerator, Sales reps used to spend the majority of their time sifting through leads and prospects to determine which customers they needed to contact and when.

To keep up with the fast-evolving business landscape, your company’s sales teams should concentrate on high-velocity selling. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Accelerator gives sellers a more personalized experience by reducing the amount of time they spend looking for the next best customer to contact.

Sales Accelerator collects data from a variety of sources and generates a sales sequence that helps sales professionals swiftly prioritize their customer list. Sales Accelerator gives salespeople more time to focus on what they do best- building relationships with customers and closing deals.

It enables salespeople to sell more intelligently by building a strong and prioritized pipeline, providing context, and surfacing smart recommendations throughout a sales sequence, all of which help to speed up the sales process.

The sales accelerator is activated by default in the Sales Hub app, although with limited functionality. Your sales teams can see the worklist items that have been created using the timeline. To get the most out of the sales accelerator, get the Sales Premium license and configure features like sequences and segments.

The sales accelerator enables salespersons

  • To quickly and easily prioritize their customer list, by using an intelligent worklist. By showing essential sales information and customer context that is immediately available, the worklist assists salespeople in reaching out to the next best lead or opportunity, ensuring that every connection is more successful.
  • The sequence designer helps sales managers to create activity sequences that outline steps to assist salespeople to organize their day’s activities, be more productive at work, and focus on selling. 

The Sales Accelerator app is built on top of Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales and includes capabilities like:

Deal Pipeline

Tracks deals as they progress through the sales cycle, giving you insight into where they’re stuck.

Sales Process

The sales process identifies the steps required to qualify and close a deal. The activity tracking functionality keeps track of the actions that take place during the sales process and gives you insights into which ones are the most effective.

Sales Projecting

It anticipates how much revenue can be generated in the future based on previous sales success.

In this blog post, we will go through the top reasons why adopting Dynamics 365 Sales Accelerator in your CRM setup is a good idea.
