Did You Know?

In some companies, 20% of their partnerships drive 50% or more of their total revenue. Typically, only a handful of Channels SEs are needed to support those partners.

 

SEchannels Implementation for Channels SE Managers

As a key first step in an SE Channels Program , a one day instructor-led Executive Workshop can define a Field Implementation Plan for the successful measured deployment of a Solution Sales Process.

The Executive Workshop would have six main objectives including:

  • Identify procedures and policies to motivate Channels sales reps and SEs to adopt new best practices
  • Discuss pre-sales and channels sales integration issues and strategies
  • Identify key milestones and success metrics

The Workshop would strive to gain leadership's support and commitment for the program. This is important considering that any change in behavior, policy, or procedure may be met with resistance by the rank and file.

Based on your sales engineering improvement objectives, a skills improvement program can be customized specifically for your organization.

Making SEchannels Operational

Post-training, it is important to ensure that the principles of "Project Managing the Solution Relationship Sale" are made operational.  A follow-up program that implements new policies, procedures, and coaching would then be provided to ensure correct use of important new SE Channels skills and behaviors.

Channels SE performance would then be monitored and measured so corrective action could be proactively taken if necessary.
