Accelerate profits when selling Cisco

Cisco Partner profitability is being challenged on multiple fronts. In the subscription economy, if you are to keep annuity revenues flowing, you must build and maintain strong relationships throughout the customer experience lifecycle, not just sell a product and move on. Customer satisfaction and stickiness are key to success.

Efficiently manage your sales business

At the same time, you must ensure that your sales and business processes are efficient and that you take maximum advantage of Cisco promotions and discounts. You need to quickly create accurate, consistent, and profitable network designs, no matter how complex. You must also keep pace with the latest Cisco information on products, services, and design guidelines.

Your goal is to:

1. Leverage Programs & Promotions to Minimize Cost
2. Adhere to Cisco’s Strategy to Maximize Rebates & Margin
3. Activate, Adopt, Expand & Renew to Increase Profit
