Event Overview
Cisco products have a reputation for being premium, and this can put off a number of SMB customers, and indeed resellers. But it doesn’t need to be the case at all. It’s entirely possible to formulate a Cisco solution that will appeal to small business customers.
Ingram Micro, in partnership with Cisco, will present a webinar on just how to do that.
The webinar is for those resellers that do sell to SMB customers, as well as anyone involved in the IT decision making process. There will be plenty of discussion, tips and advice throughout the interactive presentation.
Topics
The webinar will concentrate on:
- Cisco Unified Communications product overview, including features available and what is new to the market.
- Why Cisco is the right choice for your small business customers.
- What resources are available for Partners.
- Hands on Demo of the UC320 system.
- How to add more value to your customers and amplify your sales percentage by attaching services.
- The benefits of partnering with Ingram Micro to sell Cisco solutions.
