Mastering Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement

Working with Sales

The main purpose of the Dynamics 365 Sales module is to support the typical sales cycle followed in any organization. It automates the entire process, starting with the acquisition of a new lead, until its logical conclusion, in the form of either a lost or won opportunity.

The Sales module in Dynamics 365 helps organizations provide effective selling capabilities. It helps the organization track sales activities and see its Sales pipeline.

Some examples of sales activities are as follows:

  • Creating a lead for potential sales in an organization
  • Adding notes and activities to the lead while trying to sell a product or service to the customer
  • Qualifying a lead to opportunity
  • Generating quotations and orders
  • Capturing competitor information

The stages of the sales process

A typical sales process consists of the following stages:

  • Lead-generation: This involves generating potential customers who may be interested in the products that the organization has to offer. Leads may be generated via different means. They could either be generated by the CRM Marketing process or by activities such as phone calls, emails, appointments, and so on.
  • Qualifying leads: After the leads are captured, each lead needs to be evaluated to understand their requirements in detail and the related products or services that the organization has to offer. Based upon the interaction with the lead, the lead may be converted into a viable opportunity.
  • Demonstrate value: After an opportunity has been identified, the next step is to identify the resources and the personnel that will pursue the lead prospect. They will try to capture different information...

  • Opportunities: This represents an interaction with a lead that may be converted into a revenue-generating avenue for the organization.
  • Competitors: These represent third-party organizations that are competing with the organization for the services required by the customer.
  • Product: This may represent a resource, service, or item offered by the organization for the services of the client.
  • Product unit: This represents the possible unit of groups in which the product...

業務レイヤで見るとできることは他のパッケージとあまり変わらないので、基幹システム導入経験がある場合は、業務フローは問題なくイメージできると思います。ただ、Dynamicsの書籍はあまりなく、触ったことがないと画面イメージは全く分からないと思います。日本の書籍と比べると画面の数が豊富であり、かなりイメージが湧きます。ただ、細かい機能は本書でも分からないので、Dynamics使ったことがある人にはあまり有益ではないかと思います。

日本でいうところの「できるExcel」とかの超初心者向けの内容です。英語ですがDynamics 365の画面のフルカラーのスクリーンショットで、押すべきボタンなどは赤枠で囲ってあるので何を言ってるか分からないということはまずありません。多いときは1ページに2画面スクリーンショットがあったりしてふんだんに画面のスクリーンショットを載せているせいで、画像がたくさんありすぎて内容はあまり突っ込んだことは解説していません。何も知らない超初心者がCustomer Engagementをちょっとだけ知ってる普通の人レベルにはなれます。何十万円もだして1日くらいしかやらない初心者向けセミナーに行くよりはこれを読んで学習したほうがいいです。kindleなら知らない単語があってもすぐ英和辞書が出るので電子書籍がお勧めです。本の内容としては「こういうことがしたい」というシナリオが何本かあって、それをDynamics365で実現するにはどうしたらいいかという感じです。Customer Engagement Portalに関して説明している書籍がこれくらいしかないのでPortal関連に期待したんですがLiquidの言及すら無し、エンティティリスト、エンティティフォーム、入力必須項目を設定したりエンティティフォームに入力項目を追加したり、webロールを適用したりくらいしかなかったのは残念でした。買った後に気づいたのですがなぜかgoogle play booksのほうが500円くらい?安いですねしかも販売元のPacktでebook購入すると$28だし、あらかじめPacktにユーザー登録しておくとPacktのEbookとセミナーが80%offになるクーポンが送られてくるし...こういうことはあらかじめ教えてもらいたかったわ人柱として報告させてもらいます。Dynamics365の参考書が少なすぎるのでもっと増えてほしいですね

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
