Dynamics 365 Sales, configured around how your reps actually sell.

SMYL implements and supports Dynamics 365 Sales as a Microsoft partner, pairing platform depth with AI and process discipline. Whether you're replacing spreadsheets or already live and looking to get more from your existing setup, we work with you at either stage.

Dynamics 365 Sales

What is Dynamics 365 Sales?

Microsoft's centralised CRM for the whole sales cycle, from first lead to closed deal, held in one customer record.

  • One record per customer

    Leads, opportunities, quotes, forecasts and communications in a single place, with no scattered spreadsheets or siloed inboxes.

  • Native Microsoft integration

    Works directly inside Outlook, Teams and Excel, so reps never leave the tools they already use.

  • AI assisted selling

    Automated summaries, suggested next actions and deals at risk flagged before they slip.

  • Reliable forecasting

    Less admin burden, more selling time, and forecasts leadership can actually trust.

Why use Dynamics 365 Sales?

The value does not sit in the platform itself; it sits in the operational discipline it enforces. When every rep works from one pipeline definition and identical data, forecasting stops being guesswork, marketing and sales stay aligned instead of losing opportunities in the handoff, and leadership can coach from objective metrics instead of a weekly status call.

One pipeline, one truth.

Every opportunity, quote and activity lives against the account, so nobody is reconciling three spreadsheets before a forecast call.

AI assisted selling.

Relationship insights, deal health signals and suggested next steps surface automatically inside the record reps already work from.

Forecasting you can act on.

Rollup forecasts by rep, team or region, built from real pipeline data rather than periodic estimates.

Built into how people already work.

Native inside Outlook and Teams, so logging an email or booking a follow up does not mean leaving the inbox.

Faster ramp for new reps.

Guided processes and playbooks encode your sales methodology so new starters follow it from day one, not month six.

Marketing and sales, aligned.

Shared lead scoring and handoff rules mean qualified leads reach a rep before they have gone cold.

Scales with the business.

Licensing and configuration grow from a single team to a sales organisation spanning multiple regions without a platform change.

Secure by design.

Enterprise grade data governance and role based access, inherited from the wider Microsoft security model.

Core capabilities

Pipeline management

Visual, configurable stages that mirror your actual sales process, not a generic template.

Conversation intelligence

Configured price and quote flows that keep pricing consistent and approvals moving.

Forecasting & reporting

Rollup dashboards built on Power BI, tailored to how your leadership reviews the business.

Already running Dynamics 365 Sales?

If Sales is already live but reps are not fully using it, forecasts still rely on spreadsheets running alongside the platform, or your current partner is not responsive, that is a different starting point to a first implementation, and it does not mean rebuilding from scratch. We help with:

  • Configuration health checks. Reviewing pipeline stages, automations and adoption against how your team actually sells today.
  • Adding AI assisted selling. Bringing Copilot and next best action features into a system that did not originally include them.
  • Extending to new teams or regions without a platform change.
  • Picking up support from an existing partner relationship that is not working.

FAQ

Common questions

Specific to Dynamics 365 Sales.

How long does a Dynamics 365 Sales implementation take?

A focused Sales deployment can typically go live within a matter of weeks. Timelines scale with the complexity of your pipeline stages, quoting rules and any integrations you need beyond the Microsoft 365 stack. We scope this precisely during discovery rather than quoting a generic timeline.

How does Dynamics 365 Sales compare to Salesforce or other CRMs?

Dynamics 365 Sales shares its data and identity model natively with Microsoft 365, including Outlook, Teams and Excel, so there is no separate integration project to keep working. For organisations already running on Microsoft, this removes a layer of middleware and ongoing maintenance that a CRM outside Microsoft would otherwise require.

Do we need to migrate all our historical deal data at once?

No. Migration scope is typically agreed during discovery based on what is actually useful going forward. Many organisations bring across open pipeline and key account history, while leaving stale historical records behind rather than migrating everything by default.

What's the core benefit over spreadsheets and a shared inbox for tracking deals?

A single source of truth for every opportunity, quote and forecast, with AI keeping data current without extra admin work from reps, rather than three people maintaining three versions of the same spreadsheet.

What affects the cost of a Dynamics 365 Sales implementation?

Licensing scales with seat count and tier, and the implementation cost itself depends on how far your pipeline, quoting rules and forecasting need to be customised beyond the Microsoft default, plus any integrations outside the Microsoft 365 stack. We scope this precisely during discovery rather than quoting a flat package rate.

Which sales teams see the fastest results from Dynamics 365 Sales?

Teams currently spread across spreadsheets and personal inboxes, with more than one stage in their sales process, tend to see the quickest impact. The platform's main value is replacing exactly that kind of scattered tracking with one shared pipeline. Distributed or fast growing teams also benefit quickly, since new reps can be onboarded against a documented process from day one.

What can leadership expect to see once Dynamics 365 Sales is live?

Real time pipeline value, win rate and average cycle time by rep, team or region, built from actual deal data rather than a status update. That visibility is what most leadership teams find most valuable: not a single metric, but the ability to see where deals are stalling before the forecast call.

Do we need a Microsoft 365 tenant already in place before implementing Dynamics 365 Sales?

Generally yes, since Dynamics 365 Sales is built to run natively alongside Outlook, Teams and Excel, and that is where much of its day-to-day value comes from. If you are not yet on Microsoft 365, we can talk through what that means for sequencing during an initial conversation.
