This month, we focus on how the Microsoft Partner Network can help you reach more customers.
Microsoft is committed to collaborating with its partners, and one of our key pillars is to help you reach more customers. We do this in various ways, but this month’s webinars focus on marketing tactics to reach customers, as well as how to leverage effectively.
Marketing resources for partners to reach more customers
Are you an experienced marketer new to Microsoft solutions? Or just starting your practice and new to marketing? Microsoft supports partners with marketing resources for both new and experienced teams, from workshops to customizable assets.
Do you need help marketing Microsoft products? Microsoft’s foundational Marketing workshop has seven modules that help you identify your customers, create content, and measure results. Additionally, you can also watch our on-demand marketing workshops on branding, events and webinars, and social selling. Several partners have rebranded their businesses or found new prospects after attending the workshops.

How to boost your pipeline with partner referrals
Partner referrals provide a powerful capability to Microsoft Partner Network members that connects your practice with the right customers. Create a business profile to showcase your business solutions and expertise capable of addressing unique business needs to customers.
Partner referrals enable customers to search for Microsoft partners. But it’s so much more than a basic search function—the tool uses machine learning to reward partner engagement and interaction with customers. You can get to the top of the search results through attaining a competency or earning endorsements from customers who appreciate your work.
