Overview

Your accelerated course will allow you to unleash the power of Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales - helping your business turn relationships into revenue.

You'll learn the core features and functionality of the platform including lead and sales opportunity tracking, data analysis and essential built-in tools. You'll use these skills to help improve the sales process allowing your business to sell more, faster.

Being immersed in the course by your expert Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), you'll learn to use Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales to:

  • Create a Customer Organisational Structure
  • Manage Leads and Opportunities
  • Manage Relationship and Sales Analysis
  • Manage the Sale Process
  • Improve Sales Performance
  • Manage Customer Information

Firebrand's Lecture | Lab | Review technique will get you hands-on with the Dynamics 365 Sales platform, combined with theory and in-depth review sessions this will reinforce your learning and accelerate knowledge development.

You'll sit exam MB2-717: Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales on-site, during the course. This is covered by your Certification Guarantee. Passing the exam will complete your elective requirement for the MCSE: Business Applications credential.

If you're looking to implement, use, maintain, or support Microsoft Dynamics 365, this course is ideal. It's typically aimed at sales and marketing professionals, sales managers, project managers, solution architects, and functional consultants wanting to demonstrate foundational understanding of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales application.

Passing exam MB2-717 previously resulted in achieving the Microsoft Specialist: Dynamics 365 for Sales certification.

Microsoft retired the Specialist credential on 31 March, 2017. The exams remain available and where applicable will count towards the relevant existing MCSA, MCSE or MCSD certification.
