Overview Channel Sales Management Workshop is designed for managers in charge of channels sales who are responsible for selling to, and through, partners.

That's because partners don't buy products; they sell them. Consequently, the sales language is different, the business drivers are different, the technical knowledge is different, and the engagement model is different. So the effective channel sales person needs to be able to assist partners to close deals rather than just buy more stock. Workshop Objectives At the end of the workshops, participants will be able to: become a more flexible and more effective channel manager understand that different channels needs and solutions; engage more with channels and become more effective channel sales managers; drive horizontal and vertical channels development; optimize channel operations and unlock the potentials of channels through partnerships and collaborations; develop a clear profit strategy for channels and have a good profit story; act as preferred 'business advisor' to your channel partners; effectively manage their business within and across channels; and lead an effective sales channel team.
