Copilot in Dynamics 365 Sales

Capabilities of Copilot Dynamics 365

Summarise Lead and Opportunity Records

It is crucial for sellers to know the progress of their leads and opportunities, to ensure that they are focusing their time correctly. However, gaining a clear overview of a lead or an opportunity can be time-consuming; this is where Copilot can help.

Copilot in Dynamics 365 Sales makes it easy for sellers to get a complete summary of leads or opportunities at the click of a button. The information that Copilot includes within these summaries can be chosen by your organisation, but standard settings include the following information:

• Lead Summary: Lead topic, lead source, lead rating, date created, source, preferred contact method, insights about competitor for lead.
• Opportunity Summary: Estimated revenue, estimated close date, customer requirements, proposed solution, products, insights from related contact and account, insights about competitor for opportunity.

Using Copilot, sellers can now focus on the activities that matter most for converting their leads and opportunities rather than spending time looking for information.

Analyse Changes in Records

Sales teams often work together when it comes to managing leads, opportunities or other records. Therefore, it is crucial that a seller understands if any changes have been made before taking any further action.

Copilot in Dynamics 365 Sales provides support for this, enabling sellers to gain a quick overview of any changes that have been made to a record (lead, opportunity, or account). The information provided by Copilot is dependent on your settings but can include fields such as revenue, contact details, next steps, last notes, and more.

This capability makes it easy for sellers to be as up-to-date as possible on their work and improves team collaboration and customer service.

Assist with Meeting Preparation

With customer expectations higher than ever, sellers must ensure that sales meetings run smoothly and that they have all the information needed at their fingertips.

Copilot in Dynamics 365 Sales assists your sellers by providing a summary of keynotes and emails made over the last three months. Sales teams can access this by asking Copilot a simple question 24 hours before the meeting, and Copilot will collate the rest. This ensures that your sales assistants have all relevant information available before a meeting, even if they do not have time to spend.

Latest Account Updates

Copilot can quickly provide you with any relevant news about any of your Accounts. This ensures that you are aware of any potential opportunities or risks that may be coming up in the future with that customer.

It should be noted that we have found this feature to be useful only in instances where the Account is a larger company, and well known across the web. At the moment, Copilot lacks the capability to provide comprehensive updates on smaller companies.

Smart Email Assistance (Preview)

This feature will be online soon, but it is currently not available to standard users.

Copilot for email provides content suggestions for composing or replying to emails, reducing the time spent on writing repetitive emails. These suggestions will be based on recent input, emails, and any other related information within Dynamics 365 Sales. Once created, content can easily be edited or copied into the correct area.
