On average, less than 36% of a sales rep’s time is spent on selling. The rest is spent on things like research, data entry, and other administrative tasks. As you can imagine, this holds back their ability to close more deals.
Sales teams are constantly seeking innovative solutions to enhance their efficiency and productivity. Tools that can take some of that administrative work off their plate and enhance their success.
One such solution that has been generating buzz in the world of sales is Microsoft Sales Copilot, a powerful tool designed to revolutionize how sales teams operate.
In this article, we will explore the ways in which Microsoft Sales Copilot can energize your sales team and reshape the future of your business.
Before we delve into the transformative potential of Sales Copilot, let's understand what it is and why this innovative technology is creating waves in the business world.
