April 3: Optimizing Channel Partner Sales Effectiveness
Presenter: Jim Dickie Managing Partner, CSO Insights
Registration: http://www.treehousei.com/company/webinar_registration.aspx
Nearly 95 percent of sales organizations polled by research firm CSO Insights raised their revenue objectives for 2014, and many of them are looking to meet these higher sales goals by selling increasingly more through channel partners. Partners can be a great resource for providing extended geographic coverage, selling into the small/medium account marketplace, and providing a value-add to move more products. So, it is not surprising to see more interest focused on selling through channels.
However, in today's challenging sales environment, it is becoming clear that companies need to understand their sales "in" from partners is a result of their partners' sales "out." In other words, you aren't successful unless your partners are. Jim Dickie of CSO Insights will identify the key challenges impacting channel partner sales effectiveness, and explain how leveraging process, technology, and knowledge can make it easier for channel partners to sell vendors' products or services.
