Dynamics 365 Sales

Create transparency across your pipeline, improve forecasting accuracy and give sales teams a system they actually want to use.

Dynamics 365 Sales is designed to support complex, multi-stage sales processes. When configured properly, it becomes a single source of truth for revenue, performance and forecasting.

When it is not, it becomes another system that sales teams update after the fact.

Avrion helps organisations design Dynamics 365 Sales around your team’s real sales behaviour. Not theory. Not generic CRM workflows.

Schedule a structured discovery conversation that will help define priorities and reduce risk.

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.

Key Dynamics 365 Sales capabilities we implement

Pipeline and opportunity management

We design pipelines that reflect real buying journeys, giving sales teams transparency and leadership confidence.

Stages, probability, weighting and reporting are aligned to how your opportunities actually close, not generic CRM logic.

Forecasting and revenue visibility

Accurate forecasting is not about more data. It is about the right data.

We help you:

Build realistic forecasts
Identify risks earlier
Remove manual forecasting processes
Give leadership confidence in revenue numbers

Sales automation that helps, not hinders

Automation should reduce effort, not add friction.

We implement automation around:

Lead routing and qualification
Task and follow-up creation
Opportunity progression triggers
Notifications that prompt action

Only where it genuinely improves productivity.

Reporting that supports decision making

Dashboards should answer questions, not create more of them.

We design reporting for:

Sales leadership
Sales managers
Sales professionals

So everyone sees what matters to them, without information overload.

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?

“With our workload and team outgrowing our old method of workflow management, we needed a solution. Having worked with Avrion in the past, we asked them to take a look. Dave, Nick and Sam took the time to go through our process with us. It was decided that a ticketing system was required - the guys set up what we required and assisted us whilst we inputted our data and got it going. I think the level of customer service we have received from Avrion is 5 stars.”

Mike Bevan – SPM Instrument UK

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

Tracey Hammond – Dengie

“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.”

Jasmin Dudden – Restore Datashred

““The reason why I like working with Jon is because he always comes up with a solution. This was a small project but it has a big impact and solves lots of time problems. I can now make updates to the communications that go out myself and don’t need the support of Avrion for this going forward, although they are always on hand if I need help.””

Jane Margetts – Restore Records Management

“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!”

Craig Sansom – Prestige

“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.”

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”

David English – Restore plc

“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

“We found the team at Avrion really understood our needs. It felt like they’d seen it all before, and that gave us confidence from day one. With Maximizer CRM, what it really does is allow us to track that from start to result stage… it’s helped change the mentality of our business.”

Chris Harrison – Heidelberg Materials Contracting

“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.”
