DriveInternal promotion What- Training on Drive dedicated to the Sales team (presentation and live demo)Tools:- Italian version of PPT slides to support the sales team in promoting Drive

externally. Italian version of email and script (in case of phone calls) to promote DRIVE.

- Marketing support (24/7) How- Constant update on Drive reports in order to push the Sales team on

engaging the partners. - Focus on EXN investment on DRIVE

Drive1. External promotion Promotion towards Partner Resellers

MKTG set up meetings (conf. call or meetings) with Partners to introduce and promote Drive. (presentation, video, live demo)

The process: 1. Sales person to contact the partner explaing the «why» of DRIVE: advantages and benefits. Sales team to anticipate a meeting/conf call with marketing

2. Marketing to contact the reseller explaining the process, the technical details and stressing once more the advantages and benefits.

3. Sales person to do the follow up. - Thanks for registering- Why you have not registered yet. Something is not clear?- If not, MKTG will call you and drive through the process

Drive2. External promotion

Set up meetings (conf. call or meetings) with Vendors to introduce and promote Drive. (presentation, video, live demo)

DriveMain Issues

Vendors

– Partners RecruitingDrive is recognized mainly as a tool to incentive partners rather than recruiting new resellers. This discourage vendors from joining the program with a customized campaign.

– ROINo (Italian) success story to be shared.

Resellers– The number of campaigns posted on DRIVE is key to have

resellers registered. In Italy we had only 1 campaign and it was not enough to get the points.

– Resellers need to be educated. A standard PPT presentation/email invitation is not the correct way to explain DRIVE. Main message: It’s easy to use. It’s not a waste of time.

Starting from October, Sophos and Tufin are expected to join Drive.Campaign details to be defined soon
