What AI should improve in sales

AI is not about replacing sales judgement. It is about strengthening it.

Effective AI for sales teams enables you to:

  • Identify high probability opportunities
  • Flag deals at risk of stalling
  • Improve forecast accuracy
  • Highlight cross sell and upsell potential
  • Uncover engagement gaps
  • Support prioritisation across large pipelines

The objective is clarity, not automation for its own sake.

  • Meeting history missing from opportunity records
  • Teams conversations disconnected from opportunity context
  • Manual duplication of information

Integration creates continuity between collaboration and commercial management.

What do our customers say?

“At our internal review in 2019 we, as a company, asked if we were doing ourselves justice using Maximizer as our CRM solution or was there something better? We concluded that the price point for the system gives us a budget to develop our own specific customisations that are more beneficial for productivity and efficiency as well. After almost a year of trying unsuccessfully to engage with our existing partner, trying to get them to talk about upgrading and personalising the system, we decided to switch over to Avrion. Avrion had been in conversation with us and once we engaged with them, they immediately gave us something unique. They allowed us to effectively have an off-the-shelf CRM system that we could customise – at affordable rates. Rates that are competitive for SMEs. Once we formed a partnership with Avrion, for the first time in seventeen years we were working with a really engaged partner, which is something unique. Avrion enabled the changes to revolutionise our workflow through small steps that added huge impact. Not many people do that.”

Cole Fellows – The Insurance Network

“Integrating over 30 acquisitions, meant harmonising over 60 customer databases. Impressive, but of little use if the data is unstructured. Maximizer meant structured data, yes it requires focus, but the output is efficient to say the least; the new improved pipeline made us twice as effective, cross selling across the 5 business units - closure went up 4-fold. Integrating this with front line operational calls gave us a holistic view, reducing hundreds of days spent on internal calls, joining up the dots for our customers. Opportunities grew by over 20% with straightforward data polishing. The icing on the cake was with GDPR, good process with opt-outs and customer choice on contact options. When you feed this into the business it allows us to be focussed on the day-to-day operation, the back-end processes of store, scan and shred just become slicker – our focus with customers substantially better. Hundreds of hours freed up for improvements on invoicing, value added services, the day to day delivery with document management. Our project involved coupling existing platforms with new CRM technologies, training and a complex project roll-out. Avrion managed the transition without fuss or any ‘catch-you’ extra fees – a job well done.”

David English – Restore plc

“Avrion has, from the start, been very honest and clear about what we can achieve without spending vast sums of money on an entirely new system. We created an automation wish list for Avrion, who were brilliant at listening and communicating as they tailored the project specifically to the scope. Avrion built the system according to our needs and fine-tuned it as required once we began to use it. They have been very supportive throughout and helped us navigate through the entire process. We now have a system that can evolve as the development does, to improve and continually improve account visibility for our homeowners and improve cash flow by utilising the automation that we required.”

Carly Cullen – Priors Hall Park Management

“Avrion is able to grasp a concept quickly and turn it into a deliverable that can make a significant difference to a business. They take the time to understand the requirement, taking concepts and ideas and turning them into tangible benefits to achieve the best outcome possible for the customer. I'd 100% recommend Avrion. It's been a dream working with them. They have helped us at every point in this process. I've worked with people in the past where there's a bit of tension, but with Avrion they always helped to direct our journey, in a way that was working with us as a partner, over anything else.”

Jasmin Dudden – Restore Datashred

“We first came across Maximizer Sales Leader Edition (SLE) when looking for a CRM system with quoting functionality to replace an aged manual system based mainly on Excel! From development to implementation, each stage was found easy to transact and made easy to understand with the support offered found to be exceptional. Our main area of focus was to improve systems to reduce stress on resource with minimal impact on the team – this was achieved with great success & the system welcomed.”

Liane Atherton – AAF Air Filters

“We would highly recommend Avrion for both CRM and tech support applications. We recently upgraded our tech support function for both internal and external support requests. This has improved our response times, planning, service level agreements and overview of the department. Avrion is always ready to suggest improvements and evolution for our business. A big thanks to Dave, Nick and Sam at Avrion for their work on this project.”

James Blair – SPM Instrument UK

“Working with Avrion has been easy – not just because they understand the business, but because they are open to helping make things work. The answer is almost never “no” – but if it is – there is always an alternative solution to get around the issue put forward.”

Charlotte Hurrell – Belvoir Group

“Working with Avrion has been amazing from start to finish. We use Maximizer as a main system, however we required a bespoke quote tool building for our sales team. From start to finish, the integration of the software and support has been nothing short of phenomenal. Their entire team are very knowledgeable, efficient and nothing is ever too much. We look forward to using Avrion moving forward and continuing a great business relationship.”

Luke Hogg – Knoxford Fabrications

“Maximizer CRM has been an invaluable tool. It enables us to be very efficient, keep on top of client projects and opportunities, and deliver the service we want to for our customers.”

Graham Cording – Smart Presentations

“Before Dynamics 365, we were managing tours through a mix of spreadsheets, emails and manual processes. Now, everything is in one place and works together seamlessly. The system is built around how we operate, not the other way around, and automates tasks that used to take hours. Most importantly, it gives us the flexibility to manage any type of tour and confidently support our continued growth.”
