What is a "Partner of Record"?
A Microsoft 'Partner of Record' is usually the supplier you bought your
CRM software from. It could be a Microsoft Partner, a local Microsoft
Reseller or a Microsoft Distributor.
Microsoft analysis shows that customers are far more likely to make best
use of CRM when they have a Partner assigned to look after them and
guide them to useful relevant information.
Different Partners have different strategies when dealing with
customers. Many Partners want to encourage customers to outsource all
changes and developments to the Partner so they can ensure a
high quality service, however this can be a costly approach with
experienced consultants charging in the region of £1000 per day.
Many Customers are not happy to pay large upfront consultancy costs for
what can sometimes be relatively minor changes to the CRM system.
The end result is that many customers end up wanting to move some or all
of the CRM development in-house.
F1's approach to Partnering with customers is much more focused around
empowerment. We want to help customers help themselves by training their
teams in the skills needed to do more CRM development themselves, and to
provide regular coaching and encouragement.
While we do have CRM consultants available if you require them, we
believe that for many customers the best way to use their CRM system is
to be self-sufficient when it needs to be customised.
F1 therefore views being a 'Partner of Record' as primarily a relationship-building
exercise which, while it generates a small income to F1, it means that more customers in the long term
will be aware and hopefully make use of F1 CRM training and consultancy
services.
F1 is therefore pleased to announce that if you select F1 as your
'Partner of Record', you will immediately receive a 20% discount on all
your future CRM training and certification bookings.
