I was looking out on the Microsoft Community site the other day and a question was asked about training docs for Dynamics 365 Sales. I put together the following outline and over the next few moths I plan on expanding to a fully annotated document with links to videos and how-to articles.

In the meantime the basic sales training outline below gives a quick summary of all of the skills that enCloud9 consultants teach to our new clients as part of sales team onboarding. We break up our training into two 2-3 hour sessions and of course we customize it for each clients needs. Some companies might not need training on mobile, while other clients need to include training on custom entities or business process that we have developed as part of our implementation project.
