Peak Presence Incorporated (https://www. peakpresence. com) announced today the opening of enrollment in their innovative educational program for Microsoft Partners – Partner-Ready University (https://www. peakpresence. com/PRU. htm). Partner-Ready University is a cost-effective training and mentoring program for Microsoft Partners of all levels including web casts, useful business templates, networking opportunities, and personalized support from Peak Presence Incorporated marketing and sales specialists.
“Our experience as former Microsoft employees and partners is now available to a much broader audience with the launch of Partner-Ready University”, stated John Chasse, President of Peak Presence Incorporated, “Not only will partners benefit from learning how to market and sell their services, they also will have the opportunity to network with other partners as part of this program. We also provide each student with consulting services that are included as part of the tuition.”
The programs of Partner-Ready University (https://www. peakpresence. com/PRU-Program. htm) cover important pre-sales activities such as message development, value proposition, creation of value in offerings, and developing a balanced mix with intended marketing programs and venues. The program goes beyond marketing by including relevant information for Microsoft partners such as how to complete the partner application, explanation of Microsoft Partner Program Competencies, and how to best take advantage of the many programs and benefits of being a Microsoft Partner.
Sales effectiveness is a key focus of the program as well. Courses include ideas on how to integrate Solution Selling into sales methodologies, leads generation programs and services, as well as repositioning sales programs when business focus or technology changes occur.
To round out the program, Peak Presence Incorporated will have invited “Professors” who will touch upon relevant topics including business management concepts, new technology or product releases, and strategies for business growth. Guest lecturers will be from allied Partner Services Organizations, Microsoft, and other organizations.
“The program launched as a pilot on August 9, 2006, and response has been very strong”, continued Chasse, “Our introductory pricing of $295 per month has attracted many Microsoft Partners and includes 3 hours of individual support from our team. Companies enrolling in Partner-Ready University will find immediate benefit in the program by taking advantage of the web casts, templates, and advice our team offers. This is the best way we know of for partners to educate their staff quickly on marketing and sales fundamentals specific to the Microsoft Partner Ecosystem.”
