Gain the skills you need to succeed
Winning in Hosted Services means embracing new approaches to marketing, selling and delivering solutions. It can also mean you need to re-think engrained processes like HR, training and compensation. Sessions will help you walk away with an understanding of the true Hosting opportunity.
Grow individual and team performance
What trends and triggers drive customers to consider the Cloud? At WPC, you'll learn first hand from the most successful Cloud and Service Provider partners. See how you can successfully identify opportunities for Hosted solution sales and explore the Microsoft resources available to help you and your Hosting business grow further.
Develop strategies for success
Is it best to specialise in a couple of Hosted solutions, like a traditional ‘best of breed’ vendor, or to offer a complete suite of hosted solutions spanning applications and infrastructure? WPC is the place to really explore the pros and cons of each approach. You'll learn what customers REALLY value the most, and discover how to take advantage of the cross-sell opportunities within Microsoft's technology portfolio.
Create marketing that connects with customers
Many partners who are succeeding with hosted solutions are deploying seriously innovative marketing techniques.
At WPC, you can see the stunning results being achieved from customer satisfaction-driven and peer-to-peer (P2P) marketing. And you can formulate and refine your own marketing approaches collaboratively with Microsoft Partner Account Managers (PAMs), sales representatives and planning specialists.
