Transform Your Sales Process with a Comprehensive Playbook in Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM

Effective sales process management is essential for businesses to succeed, and streamlining processes is key to maximizing efficiency and ROI. Organizations that prioritize standardizing and streamlining their sales processes experience 10x faster growth.

Meet Tim, a sales manager at Monroy Tech. Tim recognized the importance of standardizing sales activities and tracking the progress of the sales process. To achieve this, he looked for solutions to automate and standardize repeatable sales activities within Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM.

After much research Tim came across Inogic’s Business Process Checklist, a Microsoft AppSource preferred app that enables the creation and enforcement of business-specific playbooks/plans. These plans incorporate guidelines and policies reflecting the organization’s best practices to perform at every stage of the business process. The app lets managers create an online replica of successful offline processes and integrate proven tactics within the Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM system, which sales reps can then follow.

Once the sales manager creates a playbook or plan, it will automatically connect to records or Business Process Flows (Custom or OOB) when set criteria are met. This ensures that the sales team follows a standardized and streamlined process, which maximizes efficiency, delivers quality customer experiences, and ultimately boosts ROI.



Here are some situations where sales managers like Tim are taking advantage of Business Process Checklist features:

• Build consistent sales Process: Using Business Process Checklist Tim can create a playbook/plan consisting of tried and tested tactics for every stage of sales process. Thereby ensuring sales reps are following the best practices without fail enabling sales managers to build consistent sales processes.

• Playbooks on Business Process Flows: By creating playbooks/plans, sales managers can give a comprehensive summary of best practices to follow at a particular stage of the Business Process Flow in Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM. As an example, consider the “Qualify” stage of the “Lead to Opportunity” sales process. The plan steps for the specified stage will be automatically displayed to the sales reps for guided selling in Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM.

• Enable customer-focused selling: With Playbooks/plans, sales managers can enable sales executives to work efficiently by providing them with best course of action in specific sales scenarios so they can spend more time selling than thinking about what actions to take.

Sales executives can respond to customers quickly, allowing them to send proposals and quotes to prospects before competitors, allowing organizations to scale their sales processes and gain a competitive advantage.

• Automate Sales Guidance and Track Processes: Sales managers are not required to individually coach each sales representative on best practices for each stage of the sales process. Instead, they can create sales playbooks/plans that are automatically displayed on CRM records or Business Process Flows (OOB or Custom) based on the criteria for playbook/plan execution.

Sales managers can create people-independent processes using playbooks to assist sales reps with tailored solutions and critical customer insights so they can perform their jobs to the fullest potential without being dependent on sales managers or having concerns about people’s unavailability.

Visual elements such as progress bars can assist sales managers in tracking the progress of their sales processes.

In conclusion, Business Process Checklist is a powerful tool that can help sales managers like Tim stay organized and focused, making sure they’re taking all the right steps to close deals and drive revenue for their company. So why not give it a try?
