Supercharge your sales skills with these 5 essential Office 2016 tips
Busy sales teams require the best possible tools for communication and collaboration wherever they may be, whether it’s at their desk, on the road or in a meeting. To ensure they are equipped to deliver your strategy and perform effectively and securely in the modern business world, Office 2016 provides a range of features that save time, money and resources across locations and devices, help boost sales and impress prospective clients and retain existing customers.
1. Together apart
With many employees spread across various locations but working on the same account, collaboration can become time consuming. Office 2016 saves time and improves efficiency, no matter where members of your sales team happen to be, by enabling effective co-authoring. Staff can see when others are within a document, what they are editing and even send messages within the application. Even if they are in different continents, your sales team can work as if they were sitting side by side.

2. Call for help
The ability to access the right people and important answers to client questions in real time can be a make or break pitching tool. With Office 2016, being caught by a prospect’s poser mid-meeting becomes a thing of the past. Let’s say it’s a complex question about budget. Send a quick message or put in a call to your CFO from within your presentation and get an answer right there in the room. Clients are happy and sales professionals shine.

3. The office experience everywhere
For sales teams, desk time is often a luxury, with work occurring on multiple devices in multiple locations as part of a busy schedule. In this situation, accessing the required documents and quickly picking up where you left off can save valuable time and prevent the potential for working with outdated information. With OneDrive for Business integration across Office 2016, not only are all of your files available anywhere but, when opened, regardless of device or location, you will be taken to the exact point in the document you last viewed.

4. Less hunting; more sharing
Personalising a proposal to a specific customer can make for enhanced relationships and more chance of a sale. By involving all relevant teams in the creation of a presentation, you can include detailed insight, from across the organisation, to deliver the most compelling offer with great detail while ensuring your information remains secure. Share your files with ease from Office 2016 and allow others to view and edit at will.
