What Dynamics 365 Sales should deliver

At its best, Dynamics 365 Sales gives leadership teams confidence and sales teams focus.

It should allow you to:

  • Track leads, opportunities and pipelines with transparency
  • Understand opportunity health and risk in real-time
  • Improve forecast accuracy without manual spreadsheets
  • Align sales activity to revenue outcomes
  • Reduce admin and increase selling time

If your current CRM does not do this, the issue is rarely the platform. It is how it has been designed and implemented.

Why Sales CRMs fail adoption

Most Sales CRM problems come down to one thing - the system does not reflect how the business sells.

Common issues we see include:

  • Overly complex pipelines that do not match reality
  • Mandatory fields that slow teams down
  • Poor visibility for sales managers
  • Reporting answers to the wrong questions
  • No connection between activity and outcomes

Avrion’s role is to remove these friction points and build a system that supports momentum, not process for the sake of it.

Integration with the wider Dynamics 365 platform

Dynamics 365 Sales works best when connected.

We regularly integrate Sales with:

  • Customer Service for shared customer visibility
  • Customer Insights for richer data and segmentation
  • Marketing platforms and external data sources
  • Microsoft 365 tools like Outlook and Teams

This ensures sales teams work within a connected ecosystem, not isolated systems.

Already using Dynamics 365 Sales?

If adoption is low, reporting is unclear, or forecasting is unreliable, a CRM Health Check will show you exactly why.

We assess:

  • Sales process alignment
  • Configuration and data structure
  • Reporting effectiveness
  • Adoption and usage patterns

And provide clear recommendations to improve operational performance.

The Avrion approach to Dynamics 365 Sales

We start with your sales process, not the software.

Before configuration, we work with you to understand:

  • How leads are generated and qualified
  • How opportunities progress and stall
  • What sales managers need to see to take action
  • How forecasting is currently done and where it breaks
  • Which activities actually move opportunities forward

We then configure Dynamics 365 Sales to support this, keeping the system as simple as possible, and only adding complexity where it delivers clear value.

Planning a new Sales CRM implementation?

If you are replacing an existing CRM or rolling out Dynamics 365 Sales for the first time, discovery is critical.

We help you:

  • Define requirements clearly
  • Avoid overconfiguration
  • Align licensing to real usage
  • Set foundations that scale

What do our customers say?

“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

“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

“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 have experienced a huge shift in the efficiency of the business with the all-round delivery of service.”

Tracey Hammond – Dengie

“Avrion truly understood our business and tailored Dynamics 365 to fit our needs. The phased approach made adoption seamless, and we’re already seeing major time savings. Our internal processes are now streamlined, and we’re well-positioned for future growth. It’s a game-changer for us. Looking back, partnering with Avrion to implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 was one of the best decisions we made. Our operations are now efficient, our team collaborates seamlessly, and we’re equipped to scale our business with confidence. If your company is struggling with inefficiencies like we were, I highly recommend working with Avrion – they’ll make sure you get a solution that truly works for you.”

Raj Mahay – Resin Products

“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

“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

“After a feasibility study designed to ascertain which CRM to integrate into our business, I found that Avrion put together the best end scenario and product, Maximizer, to take our business forward. The team at Avrion showed their diligence and knowledge, which was a clear deciding factor in instigating our partnership. We look forward to strengthening our relationship going forward, as CRM evolution never stops! We can now see in real time how all of our opportunities are progressing. We also have automated reports in our Dashboard module showing the business sales performance and pipeline, which allows us to focus on each individual opportunity without any being left unnurtured. Avrion has now linked our Maximizer with Mailchimp to allow for focused marketing campaigns based on the data we add to the Address Book. We now have a clear sales process that can be tracked with clear ‘what’s next’ actions to implement.”

Craig Sansom – Prestige

“Avrion’s AI and automation solution transformed our operations. What used to take three full-time staff days to process now happens automatically - accurately, consistently, and at scale. We’ve reclaimed time, reduced errors, and empowered our team to focus on higher-value work. It’s been transformative.”
