A recent study found that the typical salesperson spends as little as 22% of their time actually selling. Imagine the sales results you could get if you cut back on the administrative distractions and focus your sales team on meeting their sales goals.
With Salesforce.com, salespeople have to flip between apps and the social experience, Chatter. (In addition to having a separate license.) Without an Outlook plug-in, they need to leave Salesforce.com just to send an email.
With Microsoft Dynamics CRM, salespeople can spend their entire day in the application, even if they are on the road. Outlook, Lync, Skype, and Yammer for social collaboration are all part of the Dynamics CRM experience. For productivity, the centralized user experience changes the game.
Remember:
Microsoft Dynamics CRM: Mobile apps across devices with offline access to recently viewed records at no additional charge. Social for everyone is included in the user price.
Salesforce.com: Users can’t manage opportunities and leads in Outlook. No access to opportunities, cases, or contracts from Chatter.

There are more reasons why Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a better investment.
