Lead Generation

Lead Generation

But it always seems that 80% of your sales comes through 20% of your channel or sales team. In an ideal world we can identify the 20% and ditch the 80% who are not producing the goods or sales!  Whist in reality it is not that simple.

While many of the techniques involved in generating leads have been in use for as long as sales has been a concept,  it does not matter whether you are generating sales leads of channel partners or end users for your channel partners to follow up.

Generating business leads by participating in the many trade shows  and performance can be monitored and improvements can be made with a percentages of leads generated turning into  business.

At the start of the sales journey, it can all be baffling, so a good place to start is the correct type of exhibition. With previous success stories from shows as a basis its what’s ahead  that matters,  following an exhibition there’s an understandable tendency to feel overwhelmed by the number of leads generated, push out an email and wait for the channel partners and sales to roll in. For the best sales professionals though, lead generation means new business and is seen as an opportunity, with a conversation of meaning as an essential tool, leading to the contract.

For Resellers, Time is Running Out

Never has the channel had to operate in such a competitive and a tough environment than it is today. Margins are being squeezed, rebate programs are rapidly evolving and resellers have more complex rules that they have to comply with in order to remain compliant with the vendors’ programs. In the last few years, there has also been an added challenge of more disruption to resellers, as many of the large vendors restructure their business models, shifting away from hardware sales to focus more on software, cloud, services and annuity income.       Written by Peter Olive, CEO, Vortex 6

Cloud security  SaaS, PAAS, IAAS,

Cloud security refers to the computer, network and information security of cloud computing providers and users and encompasses technologies like data protection, infrastructure and governance issues. Security concerns surrounding cloud computing are generally considered to surround security and privacy (of the information stored), compliance (with legislation and user company policy) and legal or contractual issues.  In particular, concerns have been raised about security provision within multi-tenanted public cloud offerings.

Platform as a Service  
PaaS
Platform as a Service refers to the provision of a computing platform and the provision and deployment of the associated set of software applications (called a solution stack) to an enterprise by a cloud provider. PaaS makes deployment of applications possible across your entire network while negating the need for you to buy or maintain hardware or software, basically because it is all owned and maintained by the cloud provider. The provider can customise, integrate or develop from scratch, applications needed by the enterprise, which the client can then access via the internet.
