A

web- or cloud-based and typically include a partner portal, customer database, and other tools that allow companies and partners to manage leads, revenues, opportunities and sales metrics. Partner relationship management systems also track inventory, pricing, discounting and operations.

76
Q

Benefits of PRM

A

Many companies rely on partner companies to sell products on their behalf as part of a channel strategy,

in addition to or instead of using a direct distribution channel.

Those indirect channels may include value-added resellers (VARs), retailers, consultants, managed service providers (MSPs), systems integrators (SIs), original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) or independent software vendors (ISVs).

Having a partner relationship management system in place helps channel managers streamline all of their partner sales processes and minimize duplication within the business.

A

PRM is similar to customer relationship management (CRM) in that companies use CRM systems to monitor the marketing, sales and service process of customer relationships.

When working directly with a customer, a sales rep can target the consumer and work one-to-one with that potential customer.

While CRM does help with the relationship between a business and a customer, it’s much more focused on the C and M of CRM – once it converts a lead into a customer, it’s about managing that next purchase.

  • Dashboards with partner performance management tools to measure goals and monitor
    results using key performance indicators; and
  • Integration with business tools including contract management, content management
    systems, project management, time management, expenses, calendars and communication channels.

Q

IDIC model

A
107
Q

QCI model

A

Described as a customer management model rather than a customer relationship model, the
Quality Competitive Index model focuses on three main activities: acquisition, retention, and
penetration.
The QCI model starts with the customer’s external environment at the top—their pain points,
business goals, and other factors will affect whether they are ready to buy or interact with your
sales team, which in turn impacts the customer experience. The customer experience then affects
customer proposition (what you offer the customer) and customer management activities. As you
can see from the magnified version of the inner circle, many activities are involved to acquire
and retain customers.
The QCI model also considers the people and technology involved with keeping this whole
system going. Although QCI has replaced the word “relationship” in CRM, this model still starts
and ends with people.

CRM value chain

A

A value chain is a high-level model developed by Michael Porter that identifies the processes a
business uses to develop an end product or service for the customer. The goal of the value chain
model is to identify and prioritize the most valuable activities to the company and improve
processes to gain a competitive advantage.
The CRM value chain model applies this principle to customer relationships. This CRM model
observes all the stages and activities required to build a relationship with a customer.
These activities are divided into two stages: primary and support.
