Is Your Transformation To a Cloud Business Model Moving Too Slowly?
Scaling a profitable cloud business requires far more than identifying a market and launching a cloud solution. That’s just the beginning. Pivoting aggressively to cloud means changing your positioning, differentiation strategy, service offerings, selling process and marketing strategy. The most challenging aspect of cloud transformation is changing your mindset, people, processes and internal culture. This session will identify the key challenges that your organization will encounter during your transformation, regardless of where you are on the journey. Come learn specific strategies that will help you accelerate your transformation and successfully manage the change required.
Packaging, Pricing and Positioning Cloud Solutions.
Repeatable cloud solutions are not developed, packaged, positioned or priced like traditional on premise projects. Jumping into offering successful cloud solutions requires shifting from a traditional and project mind frame to a recurring revenue approach, starting with a minimum viable product that addresses specific, compelling vertical industry or workload challenges and launching competitively priced solutions. This session is designed to help cloud partners kick-start and/or, improve and accelerate their cloud pricing and packaging process.
Best Practices in Digital Marketing Engagement.
This session will walk through specific examples of best practices that technology companies are using to increase their online engagement and conversion. In the cloud market, marketing is the new sales. Learn how to apply the latest research and discoveries in neuromarketing to increase the effectiveness of your digital marketing and accelerate and optimize the online customer acquisition process.
How to Increase Online Engagement and Drive Conversion.
You have less than 8 seconds before a prospect makes an emotional yes or no decision when they first land on your website. We also know that on average, technology providers are losing up to 63% of their visitors after looking at just one web page. During this session, you will learn why your website and digital marketing isn’t working as well as it could be. Learn specific neuromarketing techniques and strategies that you can implement immediately to increase your digital engagement and online conversion.
