Over time some channel partners and even vendors have moved from a product orientation, to a customer-outcome orientation when it comes to their engagement or sales methodology.  Instead of focusing around technical capabilities a product provides, they focus on the customer and the business challenges they are trying to overcome.

Adopting a customer-first mindset or an outcome-based sales approach, may have its implications, but it is much more effective at accelerating the sales process. Ultimately, building long-term relationships, based on delivering business value, is more effective than short-term business transactions.

In this new sales approach, partners need to shift from selling product features and functions to focusing on the value a solution delivers to their customer. But it’s not always as easy to embrace change; and when it comes to solutions, it’s not always easy to find one that help can to overcome a problem. Often times partners end up having to work with multiple vendors in order to deliver an end-to-end solution. “It’s not that difficult,” said no one ever!

Some vendors aren’t as easy to manage, configure or even deploy.  Many products or services require advanced technical knowledge, certifications or other resources that not all channel partners have the ability to invest in.  Now imagine managing these challenges with a solutions that requires multiple vendors.
