Seamless Email Sync for Smarter Sales Insights
Enhance sales intelligence with upgraded Exchange integration, now powered by server-side synchronisation (SSS). This shift improves support for Dynamics 365 Sales Premium features like Relationship Analytics and Who Knows Whom, offering deeper insights into customer connections. With granular control over email sync settings, businesses gain greater flexibility in managing data flow while ensuring more reliable communication tracking.
By configuring SSS for Exchange, sales teams can automate email syncing, optimise engagement tracking, and unlock AI-powered insights—transforming everyday interactions into strategic relationship-building opportunities.
Automated Sales Qualification for a Stronger Pipeline
Stop wasting hours on manual prospecting—the sales qualification agent in Dynamics 365 Sales automates lead research, qualification, and engagement. By leveraging CRM data and public web insights, it identifies high-potential leads, pregenerates personalised emails with compelling talking points, and recommends the next best actions—ensuring you focus on the most promising opportunities. With this AI-driven assistant, sales teams can boost conversion rates while reducing time spent on admin tasks.
The agent’s three AI-driven components—research, prioritisation, and engagement—work together to streamline lead assessment and enhance sales productivity.
Turn Service Interactions into Sales Opportunities
Stop missing high-intent leads hidden in service interactions. The sales qualification agent in Dynamics 365 Sales now automatically identifies cross-sell and upsell opportunities by analysing customer inquiries and support cases. Whether a client reaches out about service limits or repeatedly inquires about premium features, the system flags these signals—helping sales teams capitalise on real-time buying intent and strengthen customer relationships.
With a complete view of customer service history, sellers can engage at the right time—after case resolution or outage recovery—ensuring personalised, well-timed outreach that drives revenue growth.
Effortless Follow-Ups, Higher Conversions
Never let missed follow-ups stall your sales pipeline. The sales qualification agent in Dynamics 365 Sales automates timely, personalised follow-ups, ensuring consistent engagement without manual effort. It nudges unresponsive leads, adjusts emails based on out-of-office replies, and seamlessly books meetings when interest is detected—all in real time. By dynamically refining messages based on lead responses, sales teams can boost reply rates, secure more meetings, and accelerate conversions.
With AI-driven automation, sellers can focus on closing deals while smart follow-ups keep leads engaged and moving forward.
Smarter Lead Prioritisation, Faster Conversions
Eliminate guesswork in follow-ups—the sales qualification agent in Dynamics 365 Sales automatically analyses customer responses to identify intent-to-buy signals. By detecting budget, need, and timing cues, it classifies leads as interested, disqualified, or requiring support, ensuring sellers act swiftly on high-potential prospects while routing low-intent leads to nurturing or support channels.
With AI-driven automation, sales teams save time, improve pipeline quality, and focus on leads that truly matter, while admins can customise classification rules for seamless response management.
Personalised Outreach, Stronger Engagement
Stand out in crowded inboxes with a unique, authentic voice. The sales qualification agent in Dynamics 365 Sales now adapts email communications to match each seller’s personal tone, ensuring messages feel natural and engaging. Whether formal, casual, or friendly, sellers can customise and save their preferred tone, making outreach more consistent, persuasive, and memorable.
With AI-powered tone application, sales teams can boost response rates, build stronger connections, and enhance qualification outcomes—while maintaining their signature style across every interaction.
Sharper Lead Qualification with External Data
Supercharge your sales process by integrating external insights into your qualification strategy. The sales qualification agent in Dynamics 365 Sales now leverages industry-specific and company-specific data sources—from CRM and proprietary tools to public web resources and internal databases. This ensures sellers spend less time researching and more time engaging high-potential leads, increasing efficiency and deal conversions.
With AI-driven data grounding, sales teams can access critical insights from sources like Microsoft Fabric, Azure SQL, and third-party platforms, making lead qualification faster, smarter, and more precise.
