18:30 Peter Baddeley: Understanding collaboration spaces in Teams with Sales for Microsoft 365 Copilot
The way sales teams work is changing, with a need for greater collaborative working and a need to accept that sales teams don’t spend their whole time in the CRM. Collaboration Spaces are Microsoft’s answer to this. By leveraging Copilot for Sales, sales teams can create Teams using the Account and Deal Room template. In this session, Peter will explore what these templates include and how to configure your environment to use them. He will consider the limitations, where it fits with other integrations and the extra value from AI tools. Attendees will leave the session knowing how this capability works and the benefits it can bring to sales teams and beyond.
