foresee it, but to enable it.”
Quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
6. Four Key Elements of Focus

Generate Customer Lifetime Value
The best partners do not transact, they
provide solutions that provide long term
sustainable value. This is key to success!
Operational Excellence
Profitable providers will excel in the area of
operations. Scaling is a must! The most
strategic partners will have repeatable
methodology, automation, and best-in-class
tools.
Modernized Sales & Marketing Approach
Leading partners will embrace modern
techniques to reach customers through
unique digital marketing. The new buyer is
educated, they've done their research and
know what they want prior to talking to sales.
Differentiate to Stand Out
Successful partners will be known for a
unique tehnology, process or IP. Figure out
what you do best and dominate that market.

beginning of “hyperdisruption” (Once every 25 year tech shift)
IDC predicts that by 2018, 1/3rd of the top 20 companies in every industry
will be significantly disrupted by 3rd Platform competitors.

Henry Ford went to the Bank of Michigan in 1903 and spoke to its president. He wanted money to
build his factory so he could make cars. The president turned him down. ‘The horse,’ he
explained, ‘is here to stay; but the automobile is only a novelty – a fad.’

16. How do you Compete and Win?
Transformation is your lifeblood – Transform or die, it’s that simple

17. The is no Secret, 100% Commitment is
the ONLY way to Success!
Immerse your business in the cloud and sell
cloud services & solutions asap!
Develop a cloud business plan. Change
messaging to lead with a mobile first/cloud
first message. (Microsoft provides a great template for
this, email myself or the Baptie team and we can provide it)
Aggressively ramp up your cloud efforts,
financing may be required, it’s all about
rapid customer acquisition.
Go head to head with successful partners
by dissecting what they do well and do it
better!
Once you get some success, double-down,
remember 100% commitment!

18. My Advice & Perspective
100% commitment was more like
150% commitment
You must align your people
resources – get the wrong people
off the bus and the right people on
the bus
As far as I am concerned to
survive long-term IP must be in
your roadmap
Execution is everything –
Implement 4DX or similar to
measure progress
Your compensation model must
change, reward your great people,
not good, great
Learn how to partner, this will save
your business and give you scale
Marketing Marketing Marketing!
Get your grown up pants on, this
isn’t an easy ride! Trust me, I
know!

Notas do Editor
They require your customers to view you as a strategic asset to their business, NOT a commodity service they never liked paying for to begin with. This move is the equivalent of moving from the janitor to an executive, this is why it is difficult.
Because of the explosion of MSP’s suddenly customers were only purchasing based on price, this drove down margins and caused A LOT of bad work to happen out there. The mass expansion of subpar MSP’s quickly caused a negative view of “outsourced IT” in general and certainly impacted the value perceived.
Customers and end users are TIRED of traditional IT, a lot of the IT support providers and internal IT teams forgot they were a services based org responsible to the business and rubbed too many people the wrong way.
Users now want Total Freedom on Their Terms! Anything short of anywhere, anytime, any device access to all of their apps and data via a method that is simple, secure, and supported is no longer acceptable. If you don’t offer this you will watch your competition as they pass by you!
The various business models that were the lines that separate partner types are getting very blurry, the reality is most partners now fall into a combination of models from reseller, project, MSP, IP, CSP.
Forgot IT was a services based org
Not willing to adapt
Are not transparent and make decisions in a box
Serve the business and you will be rewarded!
What would we do if the world was different? What could happen if we measured by outcomes?If we empowered people to be thoughtful about where they work? If we stopped worrying about processes and looked at our goals?
Technology is here to empower people.
Empowerment is difficult if human structures, habits or fears constrain them.
Businesses won’t let their employees be free, they’ll be doing the 21st-century equivalent of trotting in front of a car waving a length of scarlet cotton.
Competitors in the fast lane will wave to them as they pass.
