What does it really take to deploy AI agents for field sellers at enterprise scale? In this webinar, C5 Insight shares the real-world story behind a voice-first sales solution built for a global electrical distributor with 2,500 field reps across 40 countries. The solution combines Copilot Studio, Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, and Dynamics 365 Sales to help sellers plan customer visits, prepare with the right account context, capture meeting notes by voice, and follow up without creating more administrative work. The webinar also explores what didn’t work as expected and how those lessons shaped a more practical, scalable approach to agentic AI. If your organization is exploring Copilot Studio agents, AI-powered sales experiences, or ways to bring AI into real business workflows, this session offers a practical look at what enterprise deployment actually requires. --- Timestamps 00:10 Introductions and housekeeping 00:39 About the company (Sonepar) 01:48 About the case study 04:55 The Problem 06:44 The Solution 09:10 Demo of Spark: The Voice Agent for Field Sellers 10:24 How We Built It 19:24 The Data Behind It 24:54 Writing Back to CRM 27:11 The Reality of Voice with Copilot Studio 30:31 The Journey and the Results 37:00 Driving Adoption 41:28 The Results 42:23 Reframing Digital Transformation Projects 46:52 Five takeaways for building a voice-first field solution 47:49 What Now?

The Copilot you rolled out isn’t the Copilot you have today. While Microsoft’s roadmap races ahead, most teams are still using a sliver of what their Microsoft 365 Copilot license already pays for.
