Microsoft Boosts Copilot Sales Among Enterprises
On Thursday Microsoft commercial chief Judson Althoff told employees that paid sales of Microsoft 365 Copilot have increased after a sales-strategy revamp and that the company hit bold targets for the March quarter. In January Microsoft reported 15 million Copilot seats—about 3% penetration—and the $30-per-month add-on had shown nascent adoption. The update could help reassure investors after a 23% first-quarter stock decline.
