First and foremost I hope you are well and safe.
Yesterday I hosted a webshop with AppSmart - "The COVID-19 Effect On The Telecom Agent: The Massive New Opportunity Now In Front Of You And How To Capitalize!
“As Covid-19 impacts every aspect of our work and life, we’ve seen two years’ worth of digital transformation in two months,” Satya Nadella April 30, 2020.
In the webshop I took my real-life experiences during the dot-com bust in 2001 and the financial collapse in 2009 where, as a member of the senior mgt teams at two partner focused software companies we needed to PIVOT quickly. Now you, and virtually every company in the world needs to PIVOT their business model. Here's a simple summary on the 4 steps to PIVOT your business.

I've been watching, listening and waiting for the next gen channel partners to arrive - I think it's here - finally - the Cloud Solutions Provider or what I call the Cloud Revenue Producer! And at the end of the day it's being driven my vendors' reactions to customers' insatiable appetite/demand for cloud. Legacy vendors like Microsoft are starting to rethink their sales and channels strategy - largely due to margin pressure. Pre-cloud the vendor could afford to have tons of partners in a 80/20 rule. Legacy vendors like Microsoft can't afford that any longer - the cost of sales/support for the long tail is too much. They must identify a specific cloud partner DNA with a "cloud friendly" business model that can sustain and grow a profitable recurring revenue cloud practice and focus their resources and support to help make them successful. Conversely the born in the cloud vendors like AWS have figured this out already with an extremely selective partner program with no desire for a non-cost effective long tail.

Do 20% of your channel partners drive 80% of your cloud services revenue - or even worse numbers? If so, then you have a partner productivity problem that is holding back the growth of your business.

As much as we are all talking about the impact that cloud, subscription based consumption etc will leave many channel partners in the dust....I believe it's the new world of sales and marketing via the buyers journey that will be the real culprit.............
Time and time and time again, talking to, and working with ITSPs of all types (VAR, MSP, CSP, SI etc) and sizes I hear "ok, I'm ready to sell cloud - let's go!". Really?
