A proper margin structure is shared to every registered partner for all the product lines and partner will have luxury to choose the product what they want to sell.
DT: Sales tips for channel community.
Vikram: A sales person faces a lot of pressure when trying to get their pitch heard in this intensely competitive environment. Especially if they choose to promote their product or service on numerous channels, switching between those channels makes workflow difficult and tiresome. I recommend everyone to have a GTM strategy (Go-to-Market Strategy) which includes target market profiles, a marketing plan, and a concrete sales and distribution strategy. They should consider STP Marketing model knowledge (Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning) which is a familiar strategic approach in modern marketing. It is one of the most commonly applied marketing models in practice, with marketing leaders crediting it for efficient, streamlined communications practice.
