How to Sell to the Enterprise & Midmarket: Best Practices & Tips for Agent, Technology Advisor

Every agent and technology advisor in the communications channel today wants to increase penetration into the enterprise market. But the land of the big spend on technology and communications by large corporations is often difficult to master. Enterprise-focused channel partners need to stay on top of the key trends impacting the enterprise while ensuring their sales teams have razor-sharp skills. Most important is cultivating and nurturing deep relationships with today’s buyers and influencers. Technology advisors can never let their guard down or rest on their laurels when it comes to selling to enterprise customers. They must always be ready to discuss technology and communications ROI whether it is in meetings with business leaders, purchasing managers, CIOs or technology leaders. In this special session, part of the Channel Partners Conference & Expo Sales Workshop produced in collaboration with Avant Communications, attendees will hear peer perspectives on the changing nature of selling into enterprise. Experts will speak about how engagement with these customers is changing. Gain best practices for how to engage with buyers that are younger than ever and tips for guiding those buyers while demonstrating your value. Workshop leaders will also discuss opportunities outside the Fortune 500 for midmarket or midsize enterprises — a rich and untapped market that is reliant on channel partners to deploy and maintain technology and communications services.
