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?

“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

“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

“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 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

“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

“I’m using Power BI a lot more now than I did when we started with creating refreshable dashboards for the Senior Leadership Team and other management levels showing different elements of the business. We are doing this by implementing the data warehouse built by Avrion, which is very handy. I love Power BI and think it is such a great tool that every business can have/use as it turns your raw data into a story that shows different aspects from the company over time.”

Dan Costin – Restore Datashred

“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

“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.”

Carly Cullen – Priors Hall Park Management

“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

““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

“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.”
