5 Ways to Drive Sales With Microsoft Teams’ Meeting Solutions
From online meeting tools to client-facing features, sales departments have a lot to gain from a migration to Microsoft Teams. Through Microsoft Teams, sales departments have the ability to coordinate and communicate both internally and externally, streamlining their processes and capturing leads quickly.
Here are a few practical use cases for implementing the online meeting tools within Microsoft Teams.
Client Facing Features
Microsoft Teams isn’t just an internal collaboration tool. It contains a number of comprehensive meeting solutions. With the adoption of Skype for Business Technology, Microsoft Teams has become a powerful mix of both internal and external collaborative features.
Client-facing features of Microsoft Teams include:
- Video Calls. Through Microsoft Teams, you can make conversations with your sales prospects more personal. Thanks to the recently upgraded infrastructure, calls come in clearer and have fewer issues. You can say “goodbye” to that awkward and uncomfortable lag. Sales professionals are able to focus on the prospect rather than the tech and can better express their sales pitch through both audio and video.
- Live Demos. Beyond just calls, sales representatives can also use Microsoft Teams to host live demos. These demos can include screen sharing, slides, documentation, and more. Some sales pitches require more than a call. For example, being able to show a customer exactly what you can do for them can go a long way towards building trust and interest.
- Easy Access to Sales Resources. Microsoft Teams can hold documents such as contracts in Word, slide shows in PowerPoint, or notes in PDF format. You can easily share documents with your sales prospects and ensure that they can follow along with a pitch. This allows easy access to push content, while also ensuring that all of your content remains consolidated and secure.
Microsoft Teams provides easy-to-use online meeting tools through which your sales representatives can connect directly with your sales prospects, including large-scale meetings and demos that can connect with multiple sales prospects at once. Much of this leverages the advanced technology of Skype for Business.
Business Facing Features
What about within your organization? Sales isn’t just about connecting with external prospects; it’s also about internal management and collaboration. To that end, Microsoft Teams also provides a number of business facing features:
- Account Management and Coordination. Microsoft Teams allows you to work with other members of your sales team via chat, voice, and screen sharing. You can easily connect with your entire team or a single individual on your team, and all of your documents and communications will be stored and consolidated for future review. Through the Microsoft Ecosystem, all of your files and communications will be consolidated, so you never have to worry about missing notes or overwriting important files.
- Individual Chat and Team Meeting Solutions. You can speed up the proposal generation process and ensure that all your team members are on the same page through the comprehensive chat and communication features offered by Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams makes it easy for you to chat online through instant message, connect through voice chat, or connect through video chat. You can even have meetings with your entire team through the Teams platform rather than having to schedule time for a meeting.
When it comes to sales, time is literally money. Not only does Microsoft Teams provide a number of client-focused solutions that will improve the overall onboarding process, but it also provides business facing features that will improve collaboration, communication, and productivity throughout the sales department.
