here are so many great things going on right now that I can hardly stand it. If that’s too peppy – or you’re reading this before a cup of coffee – I’ll tone it down and use exclamation points sparingly. Let’s start with the content. As the cover implies, this issue is set to “Getting on Track”. From New York Times best-selling author Joe Mechlinski’s “The Five Critical Questions” (that’s right – a best-seller is in our midst! Check out page 23 to learn more.) to Tracy Faleide’s honesty in “Stop Fooling Yourself ” on page 32, our contributors focused on the sometimes hard, sometimes simple (as in Robert Johnson’s “Super Simple Sales Plan” on page 34) ideas to make your world just a little bit easier to manage. We also sat down with the new general manager of Partner sales and programs at Microsoft, Rich Wickham, to review and confirm the company’s Partner plans for the near future. Now on to more excitement (which feels wrong to write without an exclamation point). The Partner Event is packing up and heading south later this year. The Partner Event 2013 is scheduled for October 20-22 in Tampa, Florida. In working with the User Group teams, we decided to try a two-for-one approach where Partners get together first to focus on themselves and their organizations, and then go on to spend the week with their clients. We’re excited about this new turn for the event and hope to see many of you there. Additionally, we are launching The List: Mobile. Now you can get The List “to go” and search for the products and services you need with the mobile version of The List. Add it to your home screen from www.thepartnerchannel.com/the-list. As always, thank you to our advertisers, participants in The List, contributors, and amazing publishing team. This magazine wouldn’t exist without you! I’m so glad that The Partner Channel is surrounded by such fantastic support. Here’s to a great spring, wonderful Convergence, and getting – and staying – on track!

On the Cover In the category of “semi-useless trivia”, the all-time speed record for steam trains is held by an LNER Class A4 4-6-2 Pacific locomotive of the LNER in the United Kingdom, number 4468 Mallard, which pulling six carriages (plus a dynamometer car) reached 126 mph (203 km/h) on a slight downhill gradient on Stoke Bank on July 3, 1938. Aerodynamic passenger locomotives in Germany attained speeds very close to this and due to the difficulties of adequately balancing and lubricating the running gear, this is generally thought to be close to the practicable limit for a direct-coupled steam locomotive.

Be One with the
MERMAID story by JENNY DAVIS
I
’m a Starbucks customer for life. If you have deep-seated reservations about Starbucks, like my uncle who questions why I would purchase a $4 cup of coffee when I could make the same thing at home (maybe he could, I certainly can’t), then I invite you to sub in your favorite coffee shop when you see the “S” word in this article. I’m fairly confident that I’m not the only Starbucks customer for life, judging by the line I see from time to time, but I want to share with you why I’m forthcoming enough with this admission to write about it.
THEY GET IT RIGHT I’ve seen Saturday Night Live’s Starbucks Verismo spoof on YouTube, and while I’ve had a similar experience in more metro locations, my south Moorhead location thankfully hits the mark each time. I’m not quite to “Norm!” status in the drive thru line, but the same team is on each morning, so we’ve built up banter where I know they at least recognize me. One time I botched the hand-off, and some of my latte ended up streaming down the side of my vehicle. Definitely my fault, but the next time through, the kind barista stuck a coffee plug in the opening so we didn’t have a similar mishap. He didn’t tell me “your bad” or patronize me, simply stuck the plug in there so the same thing wouldn’t happen again. I also purchase my coffee beans at the store (Willow Blonde Roast) for my home brews. The grocery store didn’t ask how I wanted my beans ground. Starbucks did. When I didn’t really know what that meant, they asked what type of coffee maker I had. Then they ground the beans to optimize the flavor in my cup. Now that could be complete drivel, but the sentiment that they asked about what I had at home hit the mark for me.
THEY MAKE IT RIGHT I’m such a nut that I have the Starbucks app on my phone. I
pay for my bill via prepaid cards and revel in seeing that star drop into my (Gold!) coffee cup. (Note to fellow fans of the app: I don’t really mean we’re nuts, but I’m saving face a bit in front of those non-app wielding colleagues of ours.) Because I love seeing those rewards add up, I was disconcerted to see that my virtual cup was not filling as it should after purchases. I sent an email to the Starbucks support line, prepared to not hear anything back for a while. I heard back the next day. They needed the number from my prepaid card. I sent that back to them and they replied within the day, sharing that there was some sort of bug, that they were making their tech team aware of it, and that they had replenished my virtual cup with the due awards PLUS two for my trouble. I thanked them for their quick reply and for making it right. And then I thought, why am I so surprised at those two things? Probably because there are no guarantees anymore. Who hasn’t sent an email to a black hole or punched numbers into an automated phone menu until their patience and monthly minute allowance waned?
THEY DO IT RIGHT It’s ironic that we’ve gotten to a place where paying for a good or service doesn’t necessarily guarantee “good” service. I think that’s why my experiences at my local Starbucks have stuck out. I’m paying them for a good, but their reaction to that transaction has elevated the store to a higher level…to a…see where I’m going here…trusted advisor status. At least as far as coffee is concerned. On very simple terms, I’m committed to this coffee provider. I trust their recommendation when my usual bean is sold out. I am grateful they returned my message. I thank them for treating me with respect. Perhaps you wouldn’t dream of treating your customers any way differently than your favorite coffee shop treats you. But if you feel you might not be hitting the mark, I implore you…be one with the mermaid.

Solving the
TALENT CRISIS story by BONNIE ROBERTSON
I
n this growth market, the hunt for talent has once more become a crossroads for many technology and service organizations. I hear it at a fevered pitch…“we need the right kind of talent”…“the right talent is hard to find”…“my business is at risk without the talent we need”. Interestingly enough, I have heard it all before. This panic for engaged and high-performing talent is not new. It is not imagined, but it is not simply a numbers game of available talent. The thrill of this industry driven by technology is constant and dramatic. It is a series of twists and turns, rapid rises, and dramatic drops that makes most modern roller coasters appear tame. While we seek the rush of the thrill, not everyone has the stomach for the ride. Sustainable cultures, based upon emotionally intelligent and genuine leadership, find their way through the journey and keep moving forward. Others stumble off to the sidelines unable to steady themselves for more of the same.
REALITY CHECK So why does a “talent” crisis exist in an economy of unemployment? Why do we have new generations in the workforce with native technological capability jumping from job to job? Why is our most educated workforce experiencing record levels of disengagement and frustration? Over the past several decades, researchers and managers, myself included, have continued to find a strong relationship between employees’ workplace engagement and their respective company’s overall performance. In an industry where jobs become more complex and require employees to have higher levels of skills and knowledge, we should be concerned not only with “finding and hiring” talent, but also with the fact that the more highly educated workers are less engaged. (Data based upon Gallup Employee Engagement Index.)

SPRING 2013 | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM
TECHNOLOGY WORKPLACE STUDY What are the drivers of engagement and motivation for employees in the technology services industry? How much of the workplace is at risk for leaving, or worse, staying on the job and oftentimes being less than productive? In 2006, with the assistance of Pam McGee and KJ Consulting, here at The Robertson Company we conducted a study to uncover the answers to these questions for technology development and service firms. In January of 2012, we reissued the survey to see what, if anything, had changed. In short, here is what we found: » Motivational factors remain similar » Retention factors have the same drivers » Leadership impact has increased
MOTIVATIONAL FACTORS In the most recent study, when employees were provided with a list of “what is important to me at work”, the top five most important factors were: » #5 - Inspiring leadership and Up-to-date technology (tied for 5th) » #4 - Teamwork and collaboration in the culture » #3 - Trusting relationship with my direct manager » #2 - Opportunity to learn new skills And the number 1 factor that people say is important to them at work is: » #1 - Being treated with respect Employees that feel they are treated with respect turn out to be the most engaged and productive at work. We already know that “engaged” employees are a strong indicator of overall business performance. It really isn’t rocket science. Employees who believe they are respected for the work they do and who operate in a culture of mutual respect get engaged in the kind of behaviors that generate business success. They solve customer problems with urgency and enthusiasm. They work together to create and innovate. They have fun being productive and engaged. Although this makes perfectly logical sense, it seems we may not always understand what this means to our organization and how to build cultures of mutual respect and environments for high performance. Many want to believe that it is money and compensation that
lures away our best talent. Bidding wars for talent take place every day in this industry – all while the real drivers of the talent drain might be overlooked. In the recent study by The Robertson Company, when asked, “what would cause you to change jobs?” the overwhelming top two responses (20 points ahead of any other choices) were: » #2 = Not being treated with respect (notice the theme here?) » #1 = Lack of trust with my manager Trust in leadership matters. Without it, employees lack a sense of value for what they contribute. Without it, employees don’t give their best because they don’t believe it really matters. In a culture of political power struggles, a breakdown in trust with managers always takes place. People describe this by saying, “around here it is more important ‘who’ you know than ‘what’ you do.” Further analysis validates this impact of genuine leadership. In this same study, of those who responded, “I only hear from my leader when there is a problem,” 60 percent of them also responded that they intended to stay in their current job. In comparison, of those who responded “my leader is an inspiration to me,” 96 percent responded that they intended to stay in their current job. Trusted and inspiring leadership that treats people with respect is the anchor for high-performing talent.
THE CRY FOR LEADERSHIP Technology firms are spending a record amount in recruitment of talent. At the same time, we have more educated talent available than in previous decades. However, the talent crisis is not simply one of “skills” trading. Technology development and service businesses can be exciting places to work. Engaged talent – talent that innovates and serves customers – has trust in its leadership. The culture is one of professional respect, not political power. Skilled leaders drive these factors with genuine motives beyond their own gain. These genuine leaders see themselves in service to their first line of customers – their teams. These leaders are not pushovers or people pleasers. They address real problems with real solutions – with mutual respect. They don’t see “people” as merely “capacity”. They see talent as “people” with the desire to belong to winning teams that grow and learn. Solving a growing crisis of “leadership” is critical to solving the “talent” crisis.

The
Critical Questions
story by JOE MECHLINSKI | illustration by DAVE SWANG
A
s we prepare to enter the second quarter of a new year, now is a good time to reflect on where we stand in relation to the goals we made for ourselves back in January – are we on track? Have we given up? Hopefully not! Since 2001, I’ve worked with more than 400 companies to help them grow and prosper in some of the worst economic times in U.S. history. The key to growth in such turbulent times, I’ve learned, is centered not only on the goals we set for ourselves and our companies, but also on the ability to stay the course in relation to those goals. And by staying the course, I don’t always mean hitting a goal dead-on – sometimes, it’s okay to change the aim as you go, as long as the final destination is still positive growth. Einstein famously said, “You can’t solve a problem with the same consciousness that created it.” A major part in staying the course is being able to acknowledge just what Einstein was talking about – understanding that you cannot solve a problem by doing the same actions or thinking the same thoughts that got you into a problem in the first place. So, how do we change our thinking? How do we find a new way of doing something, a way to stay our course and meet our goals for the year? With more than 10 years of experience working with companies to set and achieve business growth goals, I’ve learned exactly what it takes to do just this. You must change your viewpoint, gather more information, do more research, and ask a series of tough questions. What’s more, you must be prepared to answer these questions thoughtfully, honestly, and with a willingness to change your habits.
WHAT REALLY MATTERS? Get good at focusing on the key issues and not getting bogged down in the details of things that don’t matter. What do you really want to do? How do you want to impact your clients? Your employees? EXAMPLE: Ford Motor Company – an excerpt from “Grow Regardless”: In 2008, while Ford Motor Company’s cross-town neighbors GM and Chrysler were accepting a government bailout to rescue their companies in the wake of the economic downturn, Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford Motor Company, took a different approach. The plucky CEO picked up a phone to call and thank customers who chose to buy a Ford over other cars. Michael Snapper of Grand Rapids, Michigan, received such a call. Snapper had already ordered a Toyota Prius, but when he saw Ford trying so hard to stay afloat without accepting a bailout, he decided to take a closer look at its environmentally-friendly car. Snapper was so impressed that he cancelled the Prius and ordered a Ford Fusion Hybrid 18
SPRING 2013 | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM
THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM | SPRING 2013
19
instead. He was shocked when Mulally called to thank him for choosing Ford. After receiving Mulally’s call, Snapper told a Grand Rapids television station, “We just decided, hey, let’s buy an American car. Ford’s doing its part, and we can do ours, too. [Ford] seems to me to reflect a new attitude and a real commitment to making their turnaround work” (emphasis added).1 In the end, Ford did not have to use any government money on its road to recovery. Instead, it reset its attitude and its way of doing business, and then instituted a holistic cost-cutting and restructuring effort that made it a better, faster, and stronger company. Ford Motor Company is an example of a company asking, “What really matters?” It wasn’t about the government bailout to them; it was about their customers, the American, everyday person who buys their cars. Once they were able to focus on their customers, and show them how much they appreciated them, the government bailout wasn’t even necessary.
the journey, it’s important to address this first – you must outline where you want to go and what you want the end result to be. Make sure you can verbalize this. EXAMPLE: Enterprise – an excerpt from “Grow Regardless”: Enterprise was started by Jack Crawford Taylor, a young man who barely made it through high school. Taylor dropped out of college and served as a fighter pilot in World War II before returning to St. Louis and going to work as a Cadillac salesman. He came up with the idea of running a rental car service and convinced his boss to set aside space for the fledgling company in the dealership’s body shop.
WHAT’S THE AIM/OUTCOME? In order to get where you want to go and stay on track throughout
Taylor took a fifty percent pay cut in exchange for a twenty-five percent share of the profits, and he named the company Enterprise in honor of the aircraft carrier on which he served during the war. He started with only seven cars. Even though his service was competing with giants like Avis and Hertz, Taylor found ways to give his customers excellent service, including locating his cars away from airports and closer to where people lived, and giving customers a ride to and from the Enterprise location. “We’ll Pick You Up” became the company’s catch-phrase.

SPRING 2013 | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM
Today, Enterprise has more than 6,000 locations in the United States and abroad. The Enterprise story shows how founder, Jack Crawford Taylor, not only understood that providing a remarkable client experience was important, but also that in order to do so, he needed to focus on what his customers and prospective customers wanted. This was his aim. By focusing on his customers’ needs and wants, he became the first car rental service to give customers an easier and uncomplicated way to rent a car. He was able to make something that was often inconvenient as convenient as possible. This clear understanding of his aim is what led him to locating his rental cars outside of airports, in people’s neighborhoods, and offering to pick customers up rather than have them come to his locations.
WHY? Why do you want to do it? Why is it important? Why are you inspired? If you get to the point of origin of the idea, you set yourself up to stay on track and achieve your goals. Tony Robbins says, “Reasons come first, answers come next.” EXAMPLE: Southwest – an excerpt from “Grow Regardless”: Offering a remarkable employee experience is liberating in one sense, but it comes with great responsibility. There are
many examples of winning companies that have taken that responsibility to heart and profited greatly as a result. With its people-centered policy of “employees first, clients second, shareholders third,” Southwest Airlines managed to grow revenue by 31 percent in the lackluster economy of 2010.2 The first US airline to offer profit-sharing to employees in the 1970s, Southwest has earned the following distinctions, among many others3: » The lowest ratio of complaints per passengers boarded of all major U.S. carriers since record-keeping began in 1987 » The top-rated airline for customer service in 2011, according to Consumer Reports » The top-rated airline in five categories by Zagat in 2010 » Paying 138 consecutive quarterly dividends to its shareholders By putting employees first, it’s clear that everyone wins at Southwest. It’s also clear, that by putting employees first, Southwest fully understands why they do what they do – it’s not just about flying commercial planes or taking customers from one destination to the next. To Southwest, it’s about
THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM | SPRING 2013
21
creating a workplace atmosphere unparalleled to anything their employees have ever (or will ever) experienced. Southwest fully understands the idea that happy employees make for happy customers, in turn setting them up for countless successes.
WHAT’S MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU? The world wants customization; you can’t treat one situation the same as the one before it, but if you’re not asking this question, it means you treat every situation the same as the one before it. EXAMPLE: Starbucks – an excerpt from “Grow Regardless”: The Starbucks Promise: » It’s our goal for all of our coffee to be grown under the highest standards of quality, using ethical trading and responsible growing practices. » Our stores are a welcoming third place for meeting friends and family, enjoying a quiet moment alone with a book, or simply finding a familiar place in a new city. » We believe in treating our partners with respect and dignity. We are proud to offer two landmark programs for our partners: comprehensive health coverage for eligible full- and part-time partners and equity in the company in the form of stock options. » We are committed to doing business responsibly and conducting ourselves in ways that earn the trust and respect of our customers, partners, and neighbors. » It’s our goal that by 2015, all of our coffee will be grown using ethical trading and responsible growing practices; one hundred percent of our cups will be reusable or recyclable; we plan to contribute one million volunteer hours each year to our communities.4 The Starbucks Promise clearly shows how the organization, under the leadership and guidance of CEO Howard Shultz, knows without a doubt what is most important to them: high quality, both in regard to their products and to the service and atmosphere they provide to customers. This is what sets Starbucks apart from their competition, what makes them custom, not a commodity.
WHO ELSE CARES? Who else cares about your company’s mission, vision, and helping your employees grow? This takes a lot of thought – you need to take the time to find the other people who care about you, your business, and its direction. Find ways to cooperate not compete. EXAMPLE: COLA, an interview with CEO Doug Beigel – an excerpt from “Grow Regardless”: There are a whole bunch of things facing the American people when they try to seek healthcare today. How can we envision that, so that every time somebody goes into a laboratory, they’re comforted by the fact that that laboratory is performing at peak? The idea is that we are responsible for that as though we were in that lab every day. As a CEO, that’s when you look at whom you have to work with, whom you have to convince to move forward. I wish you could snap your fingers and it would happen. But no, you
22
SPRING 2013 | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM
have to convince . . . you have all these stakeholders out there and you have to persuade them. For example, I have a board that must have the same spirit as the original visionaries. Some come to our board already having that, and others need some convincing before they can become what we call COLA-teers. They need a little help understanding the world of possibilities lying before us. Then we have all the people who work in our laboratories, and we have to convince them that this is a good thing we’re doing. We’re not there to put more stress in their lives. No, we’re actually there in partnership with them. This isn’t an example of, “We’re the IRS and we’re here to help.” That’s actually our anti-model. Our model is that we’re all in this together. Then we come to the patients. We want them enrolled in this so they understand the choices they’re making when they elect to go to a lab that’s not COLA-accredited. And certainly then, our biggest stakeholder is the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services because they give us the license to operate. We can choose to see them as the mean government or we can enroll them into the process. We’re electing to enroll them. They’re our customer. It’s not about “we-they.” It’s about “we” forming community and moving forward. COLA definitely understands that in order to grow and succeed as an organization it is important for them to not only identify who else cares about their mission and vision, but also to actively enroll them on a regular basis to ensure they have the support and buy-in necessary to reach their goals. COLA goes so far as acknowledging that not only must they enroll government agencies like the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, but they must also enroll the employees of the labs that operate under COLA’s umbrella, as well as all the patients choosing to use COLA labs over other labs. Understanding and verbalizing the answers to these five questions is better than understanding a value proposition or elevator speech. This is what will set you and your team apart from the competition.

ucy wants to build her 5¢ counseling business to serve more than the one customer she has now. Will she hand out flyers in school? Will she ask Charlie Brown to send his friends over to the booth? Or will she create a website that explains what happens when “the doctor is IN”? In a perfect world, our prospects would eagerly seek out our products and services. We wouldn’t have to “sell” them on the value; they would already know they need what we have. And prospects would easily find the website, self-qualify themselves, and either call, email, or visit Lucy’s booth to make a purchase. That would be the ideal “inbound marketing” scenario. 24
SPRING 2013 | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM
INBOUND MARKETING According to Wikipedia, inbound marketing is based on the concept of earning the attention of prospects, making yourself easy to be found, and drawing customers to your website by producing content customers will value. Blogs, podcasts, video, e-books, e-newsletters, whitepapers, search engine optimization (SEO), social media marketing, and other forms of “content marketing” are considered inbound marketing. The benefits of inbound marketing are obvious: » Less costly than outbound marketing which includes a list purchase, creation of an email or direct mail campaign, managing an event and/or telemarketing follow-up. According to Hubspot, the cost of an inbound lead is 62 percent less than an outbound lead. » More effective than “chasing” the customers. If customers come to you, you have gained some measure of trust or credibility in their eyes and have earned their attention. » Can shorten the sales cycle. When prospects have finally made the decision to contact you, they are (somewhat) qualified and pre-disposed to listen to your message. Nine out of 10 buyers say that when they’re ready to buy, they’ll find you.
THE DRIVERS FOR A SUCCESSFUL INBOUND STRATEGY There are thousands of articles on how to be successful with inbound marketing, but all ultimately point to three key things that need to be in place: » A solid easy-to-navigate website that shows your credibility, differentiation, and offers up information of value to your targeted prospect. » Getting found. Build the “road” to that site via your blog content (content that you write but also that you comment on), your social networks, articles that you’re quoted in, Microsoft Pinpoint, and other directories, as well as websites such as the local Chamber of Commerce or SBA that have a link to your site.
THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM | SPRING 2013
25
» Content, content, content. In fact, content is so critical to the success of your inbound strategy that it really needs its own bucket. Content drives search engine optimization (SEO), makes your website “sticky”, and increases your credibility. In the world of online marketing, think of content as your salesperson.
THE ESSENCE OF GOOD CONTENT But just throwing up content is not inbound marketing at its best. You need content that is » Relevant to YOUR reader. » Available in many formats – videos, blogs, infograhpics, whitepapers, brochures, FAQs, etc. » Integrated. A powerful infographic can convince prospects to “read on” and bring them into a more in-depth whitepaper or article. Catch their attention with a short snippet first, and then show them ALL that you have to share. For example, consider the rise in popularity of infographics. According to Billion Dollar Graphics, research at 3M Corporation concluded that we process visuals 60,000 times faster than text. That’s a powerful reason to re-think how to optimally combine graphics (for prospects) and text (for prospects and search engines) to capture the ideal target market. » Done well. While video is a GREAT medium for B2B content, only GOOD video works. You have three to five seconds to grab your viewer’s attention, and a flip cam talking head won’t do the trick. If you can’t do it well – don’t do it (or even better – hire a professional). » FRESH. Organic SEO is all about relevancy and freshness. So is stickiness. If I come to your website in search of 10 things I must know before I (insert action here), and that list is from 2008, I’m gone. » Easy to find (and is where I am). This can mean anything from optimized for search (so prospects find it when they’re looking) to being part of communities where they are likely to be, from LinkedIn to industry-specific forums.
TO SUMMARIZE, LUCY SAYS… The next step on your own path to inbound marketing success is… » Create your 2013 marketing strategy with a good mix of both inbound and outbound marketing tactics. Inbound marketing is ideal, but you still need a proactive outreach to get your prospect’s attention. (At least until the sales pipeline is overflowing.) » Add a page to the marketing plan that specifically addresses content development resources. You might outsource a portion of the unique content creation to a writer while backfilling the rest of the content needs (whitepapers, brochures, webcasts, videos) with Microsoft-specific resources. » Check out the Microsoft Ready-to-Go site for syndicated content you can quickly add to your website via the wizard type tool. https://readytogo.microsoft.com/en-us/Pages/ Home.aspx » The Ready-to-Go site also has a “content finder” tool with 271 (at last count) items specific to Microsoft Dynamics. Cheryl Strege and Barbara Pfeiffer from The Partner Marketing Group don’t claim to have the wisdom Lucy dispenses for just a nickel, but they’re pretty good at inbound and outbound marketing.

TPC INTERVIEW Microsoft Dynamics Partners have a new face in the sales and programs role as Rich Wickham took over the role from Doug Kennedy in January 2013. Doug is now leading an organization driving enterprise selling and lifecycle management for Microsoft Dynamics. Partners can consider this more of a baton handoff than a cold start as Rich was a member of Dougâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team and is very familiar with Microsoft Dynamics Partners and their businesses. In the spirit of that continuity, in this interview we discussed topics that have been part of Microsoftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Partner cadence for the past several years.
Rich Wickham general manager of Partner sales and programs

SPRING 2013 | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM
illustration by TRYGVE OLSON The Partner Channel (TPC): Welcome to your new role. How has it been? Rich Wickham (RW): It’s been good. It’s not a substantial departure from working for Doug, but we’ve added a few things and made a few changes to how we think about business. Doug is now focusing on enterprise business, global ISVs, and system integrators, and I’m focusing on traditional through-Partner business in our midmarket sweet spot, as well as how to align Microsoft Dynamics with broader Microsoft channels. TPC: Speaking of that sweet spot. Microsoft has been talking about the importance of creating industry expertise within Partner orgs for a while now. We’ve seen Partners picking up that industry focus with success. How is that looking from your perspective? RW: Those Partners that have built verticalized industry capability into what they do, whether that’s through IT, a product, or both, add high value to their organizations and to their customers. Partners that understand this are the ones that stick out as being amongst our best Partners. TPC: There are a lot of offers popping up from other software providers. Why should Partners continue with the Microsoft Dynamics business? RW: We’re incentivizing and providing a path for Partners. If you look at competitors, there is not a similar level of engagement. Ours is a Partner-driven business, and we want to make sure we’re engaging but also doing things that will grow business over time. One of the things that will add to the value proposition is the amount of innovation we’re delivering with our products. We’ve released a new version of almost all of our products in the last 18 months. If you look at competitors, the amount of R&D and effort they put into new products, we stack up well. That’s a great thing for Partners to have in their back pocket. Plenty of customers are on legacy ERP and haven’t seen innovation in years. We have great innovation at Microsoft and a future story about the cloud that a lot of our competitors don’t have. This kind of information arms our Partners and is what the customer wants to hear. That’s part of the value proposition, especially in a world that is going to change significantly in the next five years. TPC: What do you hope the Partner model looks like in five years? RW: We’ve made the changes needed to get us there. We’ll continue to take feedback, but we’ve already gone through the transition of how we pay Partners. What’s important now is delivering stability and predictability as Partners change from a license-based model to a subscription or cloud-based model. We have a clear roadmap of where we want to go, so looking ahead we hope we haven’t changed much. New technologies and disruptive things will happen in the marketplace, but hopefully we have the model in the right place to provide predictability and stability.
TPC: Customers are getting more and more proficient with implementing and servicing their implementations. How does a Partner work in hand with a more savvy set of customers? RW: I think most Partners like a savvy customer because they ask the right questions about their business. Part of building services muscle is that you become a trusted advisor. If you’re savvy and the customer is savvy, the relationship works great. Selling a license is one thing, but becoming the go-to resource is something that being a good services vendor is about. It’s a direction Partners should move to if they haven’t already. TPC: Over the last couple of years and with the transition to the Microsoft Partner Network, there’s been a lot of speculation as to the kind of Partner Microsoft wants to work with. What can you say to that point? RW: The Partner we prefer is the one that wants to grow their business. We’ve gone through the changes to increase requirements to a bare minimum for Partners. Data shows that those changes have worked for customers and worked for the business. We will continue to look at this model and make changes if necessary. We’ve tried to incentivize via the Pay for Performance plan for ERP and CRM. Growing new license revenue has to be a priority for all of us. More customers mean more opportunities for revenue, and the structure is meant to encourage that. If a Partner wants to grow their business, is hungry for new customers, and wants to find a way to make their business a bigger business, we believe we’re giving them the tools to do that. TPC: The Master VAR program has been around for 18 months now. Has that program done what you’d hoped? RW: We currently have 13 signed Master VARs across the world, with three in the United States, one in India, five in central and eastern Europe, three in western Europe, and one in Australia. These VARs represent 123 sales affiliates. When I think about Master VAR, I think about Partners being able to take advantage of the larger scale of a group of people. It makes Partners competitive for opportunities that they might not have been before. It also gives folks an opportunity to collaborate and get more and better business. It’s completely in line with everything we’ve talked about – growing the business. TPC: A hot topic since last summer at WPC is the shift to putting Microsoft Dynamics AX on volume licensing. How has that transition gone? RW: Standard licensing is still available for most software, but moving to volume licensing for our enterprise customers enables us to take advantage of the broader Microsoft sales force. Microsoft Dynamics has historically been separate from enterprise-level Microsoft customers, and we wanted to figure out how to align with the enterprise processes and reach that $80 billion share of business. Like anything, when you change a business model there is a transition. If it was easy, we’d do it all the time. However, we really THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM | SPRING 2013

do believe that moving Microsoft Dynamics AX onto the Microsoft enterprise agreement price list enables us to get a lot more current Microsoft customers interested and will lead to substantially more leads over time for Partners. One of the things we’ve done during the transition is made sure that margins are higher than average for volume licensing agreements. We’ve extended that through the end of the fiscal year (June 30, 2013). There is real opportunity here for folks to become “go-to Partners” for volume licensing transactions. TPC: At what point is a Partner brought into transactions with enterprise customers? RW: Partners may actually generate the lead if they approach a customer who asks if they can purchase an enterprise agreement. Otherwise, we bring a Partner in to have industry and vertical-level conversations. TPC: Last year Doug shared that Microsoft was looking at how PAMs are engaged with Partners and where they’re allocated. How has that fleshed out over the year? RW: Where we were last year was that we were trying to change the relationship between PAM and Partner, to make sure the PAM is an advisor to the Partner and their business. That’s a transformation we’ve gone through the last couple of years, and it’s worked really well.

We have a large group of PAMs in the field and want to give them a portfolio of Partners that are focused on growth. We can drive even more growth with a managed relationship and want to nurture and bring on promising Partners that are showing growth and the ability to scale. We’ve received great feedback from Partners on the work they do with their PAMs, and we’re working out the right balance to drive accelerated growth with those Partners. If there’s a Partner out there who would like to be considered as a managed Partner, we’d like to hear from them. TPC: Any last words of advice for Partners as they enter the last quarter of the fiscal year? RW: At the top of the list is focusing on opportunities you can close in the rest of the fiscal year. Q4 is when we see most of the business landing, and there is a Pay for Performance model reward for those who close business during the year. As you’re thinking about how you want to continue your business in FY14, understand which leads will make the most difference. Economic conditions have gotten better, but we’re still working through that. Even with these economic challenges, Partners should double down on the things you’re good at and drive that business.

story by TRACY FALEIDE | illustration by SETH REXILIUS
L
ast week, a good friend told me something about himself that helped me learn something about myself. And now I’m going to share it with you in hopes it’ll help you learn something, too. My friend shared that, for years, he’d been avoiding accepting the unfiltered truth about a bad habit he has…a bad habit that is hurting his health, relationships, and reputation. For at least a decade, he’d been rationalizing, putting off, and otherwise outrunning the truth. A colleague had held a mirror up to my friend’s face. And this time, he stopped defending and started really listening. Of course I was thrilled to be hearing his admission. I was happy for him because he was already making much-needed changes. I was thankful that he trusted me enough to share this difficult thing. And since this story is all about honesty, I must admit I was only partially listening. While my friend was baring the dirtiest of his laundry, my inner voice was bombarding me with a litany of scolds. “You should have been the one to say something. You should have been a better friend. You rationalize a lot of bad habits, too. What are your friends wishing they had the courage to tell you? What have they already been telling you that you have been denying or avoiding?” Thankfully, I was able to shut down this stream of shame and turn my full attention back to my friend. Afterward, though, I thought long and hard about what he told me and how I reacted. My conclusion: we all fool ourselves…all the time. If you’ve ever said something like “I’m just big-boned,” or “I can quit any time,” you’re guilty of fooling yourself. It’s easy to spot the lies we tell ourselves about our personal habits. After all, there’s no hiding from the truth when you have to step on the scale or turn in a sample of your bodily fluids at the clinic. It’s harder, though, to spot the lies we tell ourselves in the office. Since I am certain I go to great lengths to fool myself in my home, I was pretty sure I did the same thing in the office. To prove my theory, I spent time at the end of every workday for a week reflecting on what I did, said, and thought. I figured doing so might reveal some areas in which I’d been fooling myself. What I learned was a lot. For starters, I realized I spend more time than I wanted to admit making sometimes incorrect judgments and assumptions about the skills and intentions of those around me. The lie I was telling myself is that I am good at seeing and leveraging the unique value that each person brings to the table. The reality I had to accept is that I sometimes discount others’ views simply because they aren’t expressed the way I would have preferred. Although this first admission gave me pause, I braced myself and continued the honest selfassessment. The truth is I’ve been fooling myself in more than a few ways. My tendencies toward impatience and sarcasm prevent me from being the great role model I fool myself into thinking I am. The amount of time I spend venting about others means I’m not the courageous open communicator I profess to be. I could fill up an entire page listing other ways I creatively and persistently fool myself, but I don’t want to give in yet again to my bent toward self-centeredness. Despite some weariness, I felt relieved and even a little proud of my efforts. I hadn’t backed down. I hadn’t sugar-coated. I hadn’t rationalized. Instead, I’d come through the exercise with a new set of goals and a strong desire to change so I actually can live up to the grander vision I had been painting of myself. I also learned some tricks that might help you conduct your own truth-telling exercise. Since we tend to see ourselves in others, I figured I should pay attention to the things others do that bug me. Sure enough, I was bugged most by bad habits I didn’t want to admit I had. Another path I found to the truth was listing the things I thought I was good at and comparing them to my actual, unedited behaviors. That’s how I realized I don’t always walk the walk when it comes to being a good coach. I also found it helpful to share my findings with a few trusted advisors. Through these conversations, my list was filled in with great ideas on specific steps I could take to make necessary changes. The last thing I’ll say is go easy. We don’t tell ourselves lies out of malice. Instead, we’re driven to fib out of the need for self-preservation. Without some level of foolery, none of us would have the will to keep charging ahead. And that will is vastly important during times in which we’re sure we aren’t fully equipped for the tasks at hand. (I fully intend to continue stretching the truth when I need to gear up for a new challenge! I suggest you do the same.) It’s when we let our self-foolery continue beyond its usefulness that we’re more susceptible to negativity, defensiveness, and blame-placing. Perhaps while we’re preparing for our annual checkups at the clinic, we also should be comparing our actual and ideal selves. After all, don’t you think it will be easier holding the mirror up in front of your own face versus having to go through the added stress of someone else having to do it?

MAKE IT
Create Your Super Simple Sales Success Plan
RAINMAKER: Anyone – salespeople, owners, presidents, chief cooks, and bottle washers – responsible for creating an abundant pipeline of predictable revenue and then delivering it.
story by ROB JOHNSON | illustration by MARK ARMSTRONG
THE BEST RAINMAKERS HAVE THE SIMPLEST SALES PLANS. In fact, most top-performing salespeople focus 80 percent of their efforts executing a single selling strategy. That simple business development and selling strategy often becomes the mainspring of their business. Further, they spend at least half their day focused on building their sales pipelines, and the rest on everything else. The result of this laser-like intensity of focus is above average revenue and profit growth, resulting in sustained superior performance. For example, I once worked with a top performer who every Friday had her assistant print exactly 140 CRM records from her sales prospect database and place them in a manila folder. The rep picked up the new folder Friday afternoon and dropped off the one she had worked on the previous week. The rep kept the new folder under her arm everywhere she went. And, whenever she had a spare moment, she made calls until she spoke to every single prospect – something on the order of 400+ dials each week. Her Super Simple Sales Plan (SSSP) was based on this: polite, non-threatening, and yet relentless and unyielding follow-up to the 140 ensured she hit her number. It was freakish to witness. She was insane about getting through to all 140 and moving each one either along the sales process or out of her active prospect files. Out of that single activity came a weekly average of eight discovery calls, three presentations, two proposals, and nearly one (1) sale each and every week. Annually, that’s something on the order of 400 discovery calls, 150 presentations, 100 proposals, and between 40-50 sales.

However insane she may be, she sells double the amount of her closest rival and has been making it rain for the last 15 years.
CREATE A NICHE MARKET FOR YOURSELF. So, making 20,000 calls per year may not be your cup of tea. Another HH (that’s heavy hitter in sales talk) took a completely different approach to building his business. He decided to become a domain expert public speaker within his industry. His logic was simple: become known as the expert in a narrow niche, and referrals will follow. And they did. (If you’re not familiar with the benefits of using referrals in growing a business, read anything by John Jantsch or Fred Reichheld.) He built his strategy by putting together a simple and flexible 30-45 minute speech titled “5 Things You Can Learn from Your Children to Improve Your Business.” He began by joining his local Toastmasters group where he learned the basics of public speaking. Then, he gave that speech to practically any group who would listen. That led to writing an article, which turned into getting published in the local and regional business, industry, and trade journals. That led to a regular column about the challenges and solutions of his industry. The phone started ringing and kept ringing. Within his industry, his company was the big gorilla, winning a string of sales and customer service awards year after year. It was ridiculous. His metrics were simple: at least three speaking events per month to groups within his industry.
A BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PLAN USING PUBLIC SPEAKING MAY NOT BE YOUR THING. Perhaps something along these lines would work better for you. A former client of mine, who provides IT and accounting solutions for small companies, developed their Super Simple Sales Strategy with this notion: all small businesses will eventually need the services of a banker. And, bankers in general feel much more confident working with a small business that has a proper accounting system in place. There you have it. Their entire go-to-market strategy was to get connected with every bank that had small business clients in their marketing area. Now stop! Before
36

reading on, close your eyes and imagine what their SSSP would be. Your vision probably looks something like this: Their first chore was to know where all the banks are that fit their target market. Next, they needed to identify the lending officers in each bank. Next, they needed to make a connection with each of the lending officers and begin educating them on their services and helping the bank to see why referring a client to them would ultimately help the bank develop a deeper relationship with their client and dramatically improve the client’s chances of success. Before long, they became known in the banking community as the experts in helping small and micro businesses get organized and ready to take on business growth. Their SSSP metrics: They work with more than 60 bank branches in their metro area. Their goal is to visit each branch and lending officer every quarter. That averages about five visits per week. The result. They help about 100 new small businesses implement their first accounting system each year. They grow at a rate more than triple of their nearest competitor. Guess where their customers go when they need a more robust accounting system?
CHANCES ARE YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOUR SSSP SHOULD BE. Most of us know what we want to do and what our natural strengths are. We simply don’t know how to get started. For that, it’s helpful to have a planning template. Warning! Shameless book plug here…chapter 16 of my book “Kick Your Own Ass” deals with this exact issue. The book includes planning templates and resources available at www.thesaleskicker.com Furthermore, a recent Google search on “sales plan” returned 2.5 million hits. There are a lot of great resources available. However, your focus should be to keep this process as simple as possible. So, let’s look at five simple steps. 5 Steps to Your Super Simple Sales Plan » Verticalize your approach – Regardless of the industry you serve, the narrower you can define your market, and your approach for reaching it, the better. One of my favorite business books of all time is “Customers for Life” written by Carl Sewell, a Cadillac dealer in Dallas, Texas. The book describes
the transformation of his dealership to being nearly bankrupt to being the market leader by focusing their strategy on a small percentage of Cadillac buyers who want really great service. Creating a niche-based approach brings enormous beneďŹ ts for everyone connected to your enterprise. Âť Set and write down clear goals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; There is overwhelming evidence that goals that are speciďŹ c, measurable, and meaningful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and that are written down and stuck on the refrigerator door â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have a billion times more likelihood of being achieved. Be as granular and analytical as your personality dictates. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not kidding about the door thing. Do it. Âť Decide the most impactful way of reaching your market â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This is clearly important. How you reach your market will largely determine your overall success. For most companies, you will likely have a blended approach of new and old media, branding and lead generation, education and awareness building, and local and national branding, all wrapped into an actionable plan. However, for most salespeople, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to have a single primary activity. The smartest way to do that is to look at your existing client base for clues. Where did your happiest, most proďŹ table customers come from? What are your natural strengths and interests? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarkable what you will learn from an exercise of this nature. Once ďŹ nished, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a really good idea of where to look as well as the best ways to build a connection. The reality is this: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never worked for a company where enough leads were sent my way to meet my goals. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had to do most of my own pipeline building. The same is true
The last, and most important element, is building your daily, weekly, and monthly sales plan.

for you. Your one thing, your one way to make a connection with the market is the issue here. What you choose as your “one thing” is less important than executing the drill of doing it every single day. Even a mediocre plan, well-executed, is better than sitting at your desk complaining about the mediocre leads from the home office. » Connect the dots of activities to results – There is a direct connection between effort and results. In my book, we go through a process of reverse engineering results back to activities. In this way, you’ll be able to determine if your goals are obtainable by looking at: how many proposals it takes to win a sale, the number of discovery meetings it takes to generate a proposal, the number of suspects it takes to yield a discovery meeting, and finally, the best way to approach a suspect. It’s never this simple on a case-by-case basis. But your metrics are very predictable at the macro. There is so much to learn from this exercise.

’mon spring! Will it ever warm up? Around this time of year, many of us are suffering from a serious case of cabin fever. We’re seriously sick of being cold and wet; our souls ache for sunshine, shorts, and sandals. Warm weather seems so close, yet so far away. If you’re like many companies, you start every new year with a fresh marketing plan and renewed resolve. And – like the weather that hasn’t quite turned warm yet – by this time of year, it can seem like you should have made “way more progress” than you already have. You might have all the skills to make a difference in company revenues through marketing. You just might need more patience! Whenever you get tired and feel like nothing is moving fast enough or going easy enough, I encourage you to keep in mind three key points:
MARKETING HAS ITS OWN FOUR SEASONS. Planning. Preparing. Executing. Analyzing. Just as the seasons cycle, you cannot just skip to “Executing” and live there all year round. Even if you live in a warm climate year-round, gardeners and farmers will tell you that you still need to plan, plant, nurture, and harvest. You might be able to plan your marketing cycle so that you’re rotating through different campaigns and minimizing lead generation downtime, but each individual campaign needs to go through all four steps. Clients often ask me to “just send an email” – but then what? Where does the email go? What’s the offer? How will we know if it was successful? How will we follow up? What are the next steps? Successful marketing takes time and effort to put together…which leads me to point two.
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SLOG THROUGH THE TOUGH STUFF. Boring but important things like scrubbing your list will make all the difference in your results. It’s easy to get frustrated when it feels like you have to take three steps backward to get one step ahead, but it’s important. For example, let’s say you want to plan a customer appreciation dinner. In addition to reserving space at a restaurant and sending out invites, first you have to make sure all the right people are invited. Most likely, because not everyone has been diligent about putting key contacts into CRM, you have to send multiple reminders to the team. Then you have to double-check with the executives in your firm. All of this takes time, so you have to plan ahead, knowing you don’t want that ugly feeling in your chest if you forget to invite the new CEO of your best customer to your event. Slow down enough to do things the right way. It may not always be fun, but it’s necessary.
CLEAN OUT THE OLD AND MAKE WAY FOR THE NEW. If you feel overwhelmed and like “nothing is working”, maybe some of it isn’t. Rather than continuing as planned, it may be time to make adjustments. Test and measure. The Internet contains a treasure trove of tools you can use to see what ads are working, what messages are working, and if your site is measuring up to your competitors. That old saying “April showers bring May flowers” rings true in marketing as much as in any garden. Without adversity, without planning, without slogging through the tough stuff, the beautiful bounty is not possible. The May flowers only bloom because they’ve been soaked by rain (or in the case of us marketers, sweat and tears). Endure, and the bounty can by yours!

JUDY VAN DER LINDEN a whole lot of heart
I
f you had a month’s long sabbatical from work, what would you do? Hit the beach? Catch up on your DVR? Spend time with family? Judy Van Der Linden, marketing manager for InterDyn Artis used her sabbatical to help Rotary International’s End Polio Now initiative by climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. Don’t feel bad if your plans seem a little more, say, mellow. This was Judy’s third sabbatical, and the first two were spent with her family. It was time for a challenge. September 2011 to March 2012 was spent in preparation, with Judy doing cardio workouts in the gym and hiking in her community with trekking poles and a 35-pound backpack. She learned how to 42
SPRING 2013 | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM
use a Camelbak water system to practice drinking while walking. She tested water filtration tablets because the water in Africa needs to be boiled and filtered before consumption. She received the immunizations required for African travel and researched altitude sickness medication since an allergy prevented her from taking the standard. She researched and purchased equipment that would keep her alive in the extreme temperatures and altitude. And then the unthinkable – Judy broke her leg. “I asked my doctors if I would still be able to make the climb, and they said yes,” says Judy. “I later found out they didn’t know anything about climbing or the terrain I’d be in.” With their blessing, she continued her preparations as best as she could, climbing to 6,683 feet, the highest she could go in North Carolina, but still almost 13,000 feet below the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. On September 7, Judy and her husband, Scott, departed Charlotte, North Carolina, for Tanzania. As they boarded the flight from Amsterdam to Tanzania, Judy was pulled out of line. Travel to Tanzania requires passports to be more than six months from expiring, and Judy’s was less than five months from its expiration date. They wouldn’t let her board. Twenty-six fellow climbers continued the journey to Tanzania, while Judy and Scott waited three days in Amsterdam for the U.S. consulate to open. When it did open, they told Judy she would not get an extension. That’s when Judy broke down. Their group had started their climb that morning, and she hadn’t planned for this trip for a year to stop before she started. They worked through the red tape, and Judy and Scott flew out on Tuesday morning to the Mt. Kilimanjaro Airport. “Our Rotary group is so much like family that they arranged for us to do our safari first, and then join a second climbing group,” says Judy. Judy and Scott enjoyed a safari from Wednesday through Saturday, and then it was time for them to face the mountain on Monday morning. They joined their new group (as good fortune would have it, this group was from their home church), but were fortunate to have the same leader as planned, a fellow Rotarian who was setting a world record by summiting four times in four weeks. Their three-hour bus drive to the base of the mountain overlooked the Kenyan plains, which Judy said was absolutely beautiful. They began their six-day, 52-mile climb that afternoon, meeting village children coming home from school. “Each day was five to seven hours of actual climbing. You have to take it very slow to acclimate to the altitude,” says Judy. “The summit climb started the evening of the fourth day. We got up that morning and walked six hours, then stopped at camp for lunch and rest. We had dinner at 5:00 pm and then went back to sleep or prep for the
be the hardest thing I’d ever do in my life, and it definitely was. You have to have a lot of heart.” Judy is certainly not lacking in that area. You might think that one run up the mountain would be enough, but Judy needs to see that summit sunrise for herself and will be returning to Mt. Kilimanjaro. “I know what to expect, so the fear of the unknown doesn’t exist,” says Judy. “My husband thinks that God was looking out for me since the boulders were still ahead and fellow climbers crawled over them, it scared them that much. I don’t think my leg would have made it over the boulders.” Judy will spend the next year getting stronger and preparing for

her next summit bid. She’s working with doctors who have climbed before and has renewed her passport, so those obstacles are behind her. When she returns to Africa, she hopes to spend more time with the children she saw on her ascent. “Some of the children we saw are orphans because their parents have died of AIDS,” says Judy. “I would love to go and spend some extra days with them. The way these children looked at us, asking for chocolate (the only English word they knew) and thinking about their life, I want to be able to help them in some way.” That heart and determination, an amazing combination, are sure to move this sweet woman to achieving her goal and seeing that magnificent sunrise.

ISV PROFILE The Partner Channel (TPC): Your growth over the years was fairly organic, filling needs that your customers had. Giuseppe Ianni (GI): It was. It became a bigger and bigger market for our licensed customers, and we’ve had a great response each time we’ve put a new product into market. E-commerce has become a popular topic among users, as has mobile online shopping. We’ve been successfully selling the online bill pay solution for a few years now and recently made the announcement that we’re rolling out payment processing for Microsoft Dynamics AX, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and Microsoft Dynamics NAV. TPC: Will your product be embedded with those products? GI: The initial architecture was to embed the product, but we decided to use web service calls to go out to the other ERPs and Microsoft Dynamics CRM. This opens more doors for us and is an opportunity to reach a larger client base.
COMPANY: Azox INTERVIEWEE: Giuseppe Ianni, director of sales HEADQUARTERS: Plymouth Township, Michigan PHONE: 734-928-6004 EMAIL: Gianni@azox.com WEBSITE: www.azox.com ESTABLISHED: 1999 WHERE IT ALL BEGAN Azox started as a company that ran Microsoft Dynamics GP (then Great Plains Software) that needed an e-commerce platform. Rather than purchase one, the company built its own, which posed simplified maintenance and stronger ROI to the business long term. The company was then purchased, and the owner decided to build a business around the e-commerce product. In 2008 the company scaled to include a payment processing solution, and then in 2010 they added an online bill pay solution. In 2013 Azox plans to expand to Microsoft Dynamics AX, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM, as well as add a mobile store offering to their e-commerce suite.
Azox
Integrated E-Commerce “I have worked with a lot of software vendors over the years, and the level of response and rapid resolution is what keeps me committed to our Azox solution. I highly recommend this company to anyone implementing an e-commerce solution.” – William Mohr, systems administrator/webmaster for Aqua Hot Heating Systems Inc. 46
SPRING 2013 | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM
TPC: How has adding the web service component changed your business? GI: It’s not only easier to develop, but we’re also able to deliver a more stable product and update it more frequently. We also moved to a hosted model in 2010 and debuted a monthly pricing model in 2012. That’s a big push for us this year as we’re seeing a good 20 percent of our deployments going into a cloud or monthly subscription model. Keeping up with customer demand is important to us and our success in the channel. TPC: What do Partners like most about these changes? GI: Each user has the ability to deploy a webstore onsite or in the cloud when purchasing a new site and evaluating Microsoft Dynamics GP with a Partner. Microsoft Dynamics GP going more commodity-based now allows customers to buy e-commerce upfront and have options when it comes to purchasing or paying monthly for a website. This helps Partners come to the table with a more complete offering while competing with some of the other ERP providers that have e-commerce out of the box. Long term, this model provides the flexibility and scalability that enables customers to grow with the product. The latest price card we released is easier to quote and has four tiers, enabling customers to go from a starter pack all the way to an enterprise e-commerce suite. TPC: What’s the biggest obstacle customers face when deciding if an e-commerce solution is right for them? GI: All companies struggle when deciding if they should buy or build. They look for a solution that meets their feature requirements and then look at what it takes to have it integrate with their ERP solution. Many want to start doing more business online but don’t want to bring in more people and overhead to manage the site. That’s the primary hesitation. They’ll do the inefficient manual entry for fear of not knowing how to set up e-commerce and manage it moving forward. That’s a similarity we’ve seen in users across all ERPs. Azox eliminates this worry by offering seamless order integration to the customer’s ERP, payment processing with their ERP, and build and maintenance on the site and in the ERP system. TPC: When they make the buying decision, what do customers like most about your products? GI: The design flexibility. They’re not locked into template A, B, or C; rather, they get a custom design. There’s also the depth of the ERP integration and ability to open orders or the document history on a webpage instead of only seeing web transactions. We try to focus on the unique integration we offer versus the standard features that everyone has in a shopping cart. This is where customers see the ROI in our solution versus the rest. TPC: You’ve been in the channel for a while now. What do you like most about the Microsoft Dynamics Partner community? GI: How willing people are to assist. It’s a very tight community, and you can establish a relationship with somebody and regardless of where they end up working, you can follow up and see where they’re at. People know what’s going on and share their knowledge and experiences. They’re also upfront with where they’re going and what they need. That’s a good thing to have in any type of relationship, and this community has that. You can also count on your relationships for help and a good word. Working to build a name in a tight channel can go a long way when you spend the time building relationships.

Leadership Resolve Come to the Determination to Enjoy Leading People Again story by PAM McGEE | illustration by DAVE SWANG
M
aybe you lost your focus as a leader. Maybe you have resolved over and over again not to miss a 1:1 because you are too busy. Maybe you have resolved to fix the seemingly unresolvable conflict between two employees…and have failed. Maybe you are fed up with your boss because you are not getting the coaching you need. Maybe, maybe, maybe…. Regardless of the situation, how do you create determination to clean up the messes that are stopping you from enjoying your job as a people leader? Leading people is a privilege, not an entitlement. Nor should it feel like a ball and chain. Rethink, defrag, and refresh as you capture the true essence of leading people!
RETHINK THE WHY The first step to renew your commitment to leading people again is to remember why you chose to lead people in the first place. Can you think back to the first day you were a new manager? What was exciting to you? Why did you decide to become a people manager? What was it about the management job that attracted you? If you are a business owner, think back to why you hired your first person, second person, third person? Why did you decide to start a company where you would be responsible for people’s livelihood, and in some respect, people’s happiness? Some of you might be saying deep down inside, “Wait a minute – I never wanted to lead people in the first place. I was put in this crappy job because no one else would do it. I started this business and hired people that I thought could do the job without all this direction. I started this business and hired people to help me with my vision, not fill my calendar with meetings on problems, issues, complaints. I took this job because it was the only way I would get promoted and get a raise. I was flattered they asked. I was really good at what I did, and so I got put in charge of other people who were not as good at what I did.” If any of those reasons are why you decided to lead people, I encourage you to maybe rethink your leadership resolve. None of those are bad reasons; however, with the amount of work leading people takes, there has to be a more intrinsic, compelling reason why you want to be the leader. You really have two choices. Your first choice: Face the fact that you might have to tell someone you don’t want to be the manager. That is hard. It takes courage. What it is not – is failure. It is merely utilizing the right skill sets for the right job. Would you think differently if someone in marketing (that everyone probably knew was not a good fit) said, “I would much rather work in the customer service area because marketing is not my strength, but client relationships are.” I am not implying that business owners throw in the towel or managers all quit and become individual contributors. What is implied is making sure we have the right people managing for the right reasons. If you are an owner type that really likes strategy, entrepreneur adventures, shiny balls, and sales, but the people side of change management, performance reviews, coaching, and human resources drag you down or worse yet, is something you avoid entirely, it might be time for you to step aside and hire a COO, or if you are a small company, put some of those decisions in the hands of the most trusted capable people person THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM | SPRING 2013

in the business. If you do hand over the reins, be sure to give them the authority to act, and unless it is mission-critical, stay out of their way. If you are a team manager, your second choice is to reremember why you intrinsically want to lead others. Reasons like: Do I have the desire to be a servant to the people? Do I like it when people get the credit and get to stretch themselves beyond my capability? Do I find great reward in helping people reach their potential and beyond? Do I like having the ability to influence people and help coach them? Do I like to manage the budget constraints? Do I like to interpret strategy and help set goals and action plans? Do I like thinking about what I can do next to inspire a team to exceed all customers’ expectations? Do I like to help people sort out problems with each other? According to John Quincy Adams, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
pregnant pauses, nothing will progress, and your resolve will stay unresolved unless you just start somewhere. Once you start to de-clutter your environment from the defrag that’s dragging the team and yourself down, you will start to feel momentum, speed, and maybe even a sense of agility again. It has to start with the desire to have the hard conversation, and like author Jim Collins said, “Surface the current reality.” Deal with the fallout, but at least do something. Most leaders have a gut feeling that is based on facts, and they know what needs to be done; however, they spend hours and hours worried about the outcome and the emotional response. Although overstated, overdone, and underrated, follow the Nike slogan and “Just do it”. Set a deadline on your personal computer to take care of the issue, and treat it like an appointment with God. You just are not going to move it; you’re going to face it, and you are going to celebrate it when it is done, regardless of outcome.
DEFRAG THE TEAM/COMPANY Once you have a better understanding of why you lead, it is now time to defrag, especially if you feel like your computer does when it needs a good defrag – slow, unmotivated, and ready to crash. It’s time to realign and solve the impossible, unresolvable issue – an employee on the team that can’t be fired because he is the CEO’s nephew. The colleague in another department that just DOESN’T get it and is interfering with your team’s work! A person on your team that is so dang nice, over-the-top nice, but consistently has excuses for not getting the work done! You name it! And once again, you are disappointed in yourself because you WERE going to address these issues, once and for all, and now it is spring and low and behold…nada, no action, nothing. Two things you have to ask yourself: #1. What’s the reasonable work-around solution instead of addressing the issue? You just may not be able to fire the boss’s nephew. With that constraint, instead of trying to control something you can’t, change something that you know won’t get traction. What can you resolve to do? Can you minimize the number of meetings you attend with that person? Can you change your perspective and how you react to the “craziness”? Can you accept that even though it is wrong, it is not going to change, and move on? #2. Do you just have to act? Herbert B. Swope, the first recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Reporting in 1917, said, “I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure, which is, try to please everybody.” My hunch is that you are a “nice” guy and having the difficult conversation doesn’t fit with your nature. What if they don’t like you when you are done “chewing” them out? What if they have an entirely different perspective, and you are wrong (or they think you are wrong)? What if the sky falls and lands in your backyard on top of your dreams? You get the point. Maybe you just have to have the conversation, in a respectful manner and for the right reasons, to resolve the issue. You can’t control how someone reacts to you, but you can control the message, the expectations, and the consequences. Although the conversation will be hard, uncomfortable, and full of 50

REFRESH Now that you have had time to adjust your collar and reflect on the real reason why you lead people, and have gotten rid of some, if not all, of the mildew on your team and/or in your company, you may be in a better position to paint a fresh picture. Leading people is a privilege. You get to see the beauty of great people realizing their potential, and you have the quiet satisfaction knowing that you had a positive impact. You get to schedule the meetings and lead a dialogue on how this mighty and powerful team can serve the customer and have an impact on the company’s bottom line and strategic direction. You get to praise someone for a job well done and maybe even get him a little bonus in recognition of his work. You get to take the phone call when an employee is super excited about her big or little win. You get to help someone problem-solve by helping him see what he didn’t originally see or think he was capable of seeing or doing. You get to brag about your team at management meetings, company functions, and social engagements. You get to host fun and funny events to make the workplace a great place to work. You get to pick up an employee when she feels she has failed or didn’t do her best. You get to motivate people and help them see their strengths and their abilities. Research by The Robertson Company indicates that leading is what people want more than anything in your company and on your team. According to this global survey with more than 200 responses from software companies, more than anything, team members want to be respected, cared for, and treated with dignity. As a leader, that is your job. Period. Without that, the rest of the conversation is noise. How could we be tired of leading with all we “get”: to do what will have the greatest impact of all? As Harvey Firestone said, “You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself.” That is what leading is – a privilege to give your best and get the exceptional.

ith as busy as we are, it’s often hard to keep up with social media marketing. It can seem like a hungry baby that is never satisfied. If you post right now, your audience will be hungry again in a few hours. It is easy to fall behind. But falling behind might result in a disinterested audience, less exposure, and the impression of disorganization. Your social media efforts are almost worthless if they are not offering value, stimulating conversation, and accumulating followers. In order to reduce stress, improve engagement, and hopefully drive new business, you need a solid plan of action. Here are six steps you can take to keep your social media on track:
1
MEASURABLE GOALS Think about what you hope to achieve with your social media activities. What are your top three social media goals, and what’s your plan to help reach them? Are you looking to increase your website traffic, build more awareness, increase your search engine rankings, build your opt-in email list, etc.? You may be tempted to set lofty social media goals, but if you are just getting started, you’ll need to be realistic about what you can achieve as a social media newbie. When setting goals, be sure to factor in available resources – remember social media is time-consuming. You’ll also want to set a realistic timeframe for meeting your goals. Social media experts suggest it will take three to six months before you may see results.
2
KNOW YOUR TARGETS Think about whom are you trying to reach and what online communities are they involved in. Remember that different age groups use the web differently and are often on different sites online. This means you might need to segment your audience and identify different strategies or channels for the various segments. You also need to communicate with messaging that will resonate with your audience. You will want to select content that is targeted to the audience’s specific interests and that they are likely to pass on to others.
3
PRIORITIZE It is simply impossible to be active on all social media sites (LinkedIn, Twitter, SlideShare, Pinterest, Instagram, Reddit, Facebook, Digg, etc.) and still have time left in the day for anything else. Once you have identified who you’re trying to reach, pick a few sites that your target audience uses the most, and stick with those to build a following. Where do your targets frequent? Each site has a different angle. For example: » Digg’s top audience interest is search engine optimization and marketing » One of Reddit’s biggest draws is technology » The top occupations of Google+ users are engineering, development, and design
» 64% of LinkedIn users are there for business growth Once you have picked your, say, top three target sites, you need to keep them all updated. An easy shortcut to simultaneously update all of your social profiles is to link them. For example, if you update on Twitter, your posts can also appear on Facebook and LinkedIn at the same time. This cuts your work greatly and provides consistency across sites. There are many tools that can help you accomplish more with less time. If you need help gathering and automatically sharing content, try Scoop.it, Storify, or Pearltrees. Other social media management systems include HootSuite and TweetDeck.
4
CONTENT Determine appropriate content topics and vehicles that will attract interest and allow you to communicate information. One great way to keep on track is to build an editorial calendar and coordinate it around other marketing activities like trade shows, association meetings, or new product launches. Remember everyone consumes information differently, so be sure to include a mix of content topics from the following: » Blog Posts – Promote your blog on other social media sites as you write about relevant topics such as industry news, new products or services, project work, promotions and technical help. » Press Releases – Even in this age of new media, today’s press releases still help companies get media coverage, and they can also provide tremendous SEO benefits. Be sure to include them in your social media efforts. » Videos – There are a wide range of video formats, and each can be used to draw in different audiences: testimonials, educational, demonstrations, viral. » Special Offers – Product trials, assessments, upgrades, features, and education can be very valuable to certain target markets. » Marketing Campaign Material – Integrate your ongoing marketing campaigns into your social media efforts as another outlet to get your message out and get more bang for your buck. » Outside Resources – Your followers will appreciate being pointed to informative articles about your industry from other sources, and you create goodwill with those to whom you link. It is especially helpful when you are pressed for time.
5
SCHEDULE With so much to do in the day, it’s hard to stay on top of it. Set up times in your day when you will log into your account(s) and update. You can set up reminders in Outlook to stay on task. Remember, if you’re the quarterback of this, you don’t or shouldn’t have to do all the heavy lifting. Lean on internal experts from your team to help out in their areas of expertise. Encourage other staff members to either post directly or pass THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM | SPRING 2013
53
along topics, ideas, and articles. This diversifies perspectives while making your posts more diverse and consistent. Here is a sample updates schedule: Daily: » Check your social media sites twice a day including early in the a.m. and after lunch. Reply to comments, Tweets, messages, and update your statuses. During the Week: » Mondays: Peek into the LinkedIn discussion boards to see if there is a topic or two you can reply to, which can help showcase your expertise. » Tuesdays: Promote a new (or ongoing) offering, promotion, or deal. » Wednesdays: Publish a new blog post. » Thursdays: Look for new clients, colleagues, and friends to connect with to increase your following and expand your network. » Fridays: Check your stats and analytics for the week to see what worked and what didn’t. Additionally, periodically request LinkedIn recommendations from clients and referral sources; for example, after completing a project. Also follow Google Alerts for your company and respond to writers by thanking them or addressing issues.
6
MONITOR While social media tracking and monitoring is an entire topic in itself, you want to make sure at a minimum that you are using analytics tools to identify what content your audiences are responding to and not responding to, and in what ways they are responding. For example ask yourself: » What content is seeing the most views? » What are your audiences “Liking”? » What are they not even reading? » What do they reply to or comment on? » What do they repost? On an ongoing basis, evaluate what content is valuable to them. If you are putting out a lot of content that’s not getting attention, then you need to rework what you are doing. Figure out where you can improve, make changes, and then measure some more. Be sure to revisit the goals you initially developed, and make sure your tactics help you meet what you set out to achieve. Social media is not a magic bullet, but if done correctly and consistently, you will 54

CORNER MEMBERS ONLY What types of activities do you enjoy during the spring months? I grew up in ski country between Aspen and Vail, Colorado. I enjoy hitting the slopes to Alpine ski or backcountry mountaineering with friends. If it worked into my schedule, I would do these activities every day.
INTERVIEW
What is your company’s action plan after Convergence New Orleans 2013? RockySoft is strategically focusing on growing our Microsoft Dynamics AX practice. Our plan includes organizational changes to further align with the needs of the Microsoft Dynamics AX marketplace for distribution and manufacturing.
! Congratulations The following Microsoft Dynamics Partners are celebrating their membership anniversary with The Partner Channel this quarter:
2004 APRIL » Brannon Consulting Group, LLC
What are some things your company does to keep track of campaigns, ROI, people management, customers, etc.?
Jeffrey Porter, vice president of business development
I am a member of Vistage, the world’s leading chief executive organization. Vistage helps executives become better leaders, which in turn benefits our employees, clients, and Partners. We utilize Microsoft Dynamics CRM to track the interaction with leads, prospects, follow-up, sales, and our clients. We also use a metric by the name of Net Promoter that assists us in measuring our customers’ experience. The feedback from our clients, through Net Promoter, provides direction for adapting our products, services, and organization to our clients’ needs. All of these things create organizational alignment and overall success for our business.
Why should customers choose RockySoft? RockySoft is a supply chain management software and services company serving mid-market distributors and manufacturers. The company designs products and delivers services and training that help its clients manage their inventory and supply chains. RockySoft’s proven forecasting and replenishment solutions help balance inventory investment and customer service while streamlining forecasting, planning, and procurement for greater productivity.
RockySoft has a proven track record with Microsoft and its Partners, and we’ve been a sound and stable company for more than 14 years. We understand the value proposition Microsoft provides and have earned the trust of many clients over the years. We are first and foremost supply chain practitioners and thoroughly enjoy seeing our customers succeed. We pride ourselves on the positive experience this provides. RockySoft client Mike Mather, a forecast/product management analyst at Bemis Associates Inc. sums up our approach very fittingly: “RockySoft has supply chain grease on its hands.”
What is the most beneficial aspect of The Partner Channel’s membership program for your company and why? The most beneficial aspect of the membership program is the opportunity to read the quarterly magazine. I always look forward to reading The Partner Channel Magazine and find that the content is very interesting, on topic, and easy to read, which makes it all very valuable to our company.
