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...

  • 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.

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

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
