Insights, Insights, Insights! Did I mention Insights?

Happy to see the innovation shared at Cisco Live on great strides to make workers safe when returning to the workplace. Cisco also highlighted “Insights” which has also been our focus. We are constantly driving to put more insights into the Partners hands to make them more efficient and effective in managing their customers and to increase profitability. See our recent newsletter “Bring on the Insights” where we covered expanded insights to your Pipeline with the rebranded PIT, deeper VIP insights with ChannelXpert v4.0, and LifecycleXpert insights to manage LCI and much more.

VIP & LCI Benchmark Study: How do you stack-up?

Following the conclusion of VIP36 Netformx conducted a benchmarking study among partners we support. We were looking at how partners are adapting to Cisco’s strategic direction by looking at two factors.

Benchmarking Factors:

• VIP Annuity rebate – an indication to how well the partner is transitioning their business from hardware to software subscription.
  • In VIP 36 we saw Annuity as a percentage of total rebate in NA and EMEA averaging at 21% and APAC at 26%.
• LCI reward for Adopt & Expand – an indication of how well the partner is establishing their customer success strategy and delivery, while taking advantage of the LCI program.
  • Partners earning LCI reward for Adopt and Expand averaged in NA 40%, EMEA 20%, and 29% in APAC.

You may want to reach out to your account manager today to get insights on how you stack up.
