Microsoft has announced two new artificial intelligence agents designed to enhance sales capabilities across business operations.
Sales agents were developed to operate independently, focusing on converting contacts into eligible leads, setting up meetings, and converting customer outreach. This autonomy is intended to allow salespeople to dedicate more time to close more margin transactions. Agents use the organization’s CRM and various company data, such as price sheets, emails, and meetings, to coordinate their responses.
Another tool, Sales Chat, aims to accelerate sales by providing salespeople with actionable insights derived from CRM data, pitch decks, meetings, emails and online information. Sales chat simplifies data search by allowing users to issue natural language prompts such as “Please tell me a list of transactions that are at risk of falling” and reducing the time spent gathering information.
Additionally, Microsoft has introduced the sale of Microsoft AI Accelerator. The initiative will provide organizations with access to Microsoft AI professionals, help them move from outdated CRM systems, and encourage seller recruitment. Additionally, we offer personalization services to tailor AI agents to your individual business requirements.
Microsoft also highlights recent research targeted by Microsoft UK Stories, which discusses the concept of “AI splitting.” The research claims that productivity and profitability organizations could miss out on delaying future innovations, including agent AI.
The introduction of Microsoft sales agents and sales chats reflects the growing role of artificial intelligence in transforming sales operations. These tools streamline your processes, increase productivity, and give sales teams more time to focus on high-value activities. Additional support for Microsoft AI Accelerator for Sales makes it easier for businesses to adopt and customize these solutions to suit their needs.
As AI continues to play a bigger role in the business landscape, companies that employ these advances may be better positioned to optimize their sales strategies and improve overall efficiency.
