The social profiles via LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook are also readily available when you want to reach out.  This tool is also helpful because you can make warm introductions through personal or business connections.

Get to Know the Person, Not Just the Data

Win more deals by leveraging contact data and customer insights in Microsoft Dynamics. As a sales team, you want to foster relationships that will help you turn prospects into customers. “CRM today should be an enabler that detects trends, facilitates decisions and suggests actions that lead to successful outcomes and relationships,” said Bob Stutz, corporate vice president of Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Better Data Means Better Results

InsideView found its partners can increase win rates of up to 15 percent simply by using the news, alerts and social media features. Pre-research is cut by about 70 percent with pertinent company and financial data available at no additional charge. Avoid buying data subscriptions or even list purchasing with InsideView’s access to over 50 million company and personnel profiles.
