QBShare update ‘Going for Gold’

Thanks to the nearly 100 attendees from our QBS community: NAV partners, ISVs and Microsoft representatives who took time out to come along to Microsoft TVP on the 14th September.

If there was an over-riding theme for the day, it was all about approaching a DISRUPTED market with renewed vigour and a sense of purpose. To that end QBS group has launched a series of initiatives that our partner network of 350+ partners has been clamouring for, these were:

• Generation Z: The Next Generation of Consultants – The demand for consultants in the NAV channel is greater than ever and we are seeing partners competing fiercely for experienced talent to both come into their businesses and retain the talent. QBS has built a program to find, enable and nurture the next generation. STOP INVESTING IN RECRUITMENT COMPANIES! Find out more!

• ERP\CRM Disruption Workshops – QBS’ very own Guus Krabbenborg gave a great 1 hour edge of the seats, engaging and thought provoking vision of what our businesses need to look like in the next few years. Feedback has been so positive that we are giving Guus a whole day to give you his insight! Access Guus’ presentation.

• Sales Excellence program – it has been amazing to see the growth in the number of marketing heads within the channel – now we need to apply some good old fashioned sales rigour! In the last 3 years, many of the QBS partner community has begun making great strides in their investments in marketing – making marketing an integral part of their business. BUT… once the prospective buyer has entered a sales process, we need to ensure that we are executing the PROCESS as flawlessly as possible!! Whether it is a 2 user or 200 user solution THERE MUST BE A PROCESS! Find out more!

• QBS Upgrade Services and Upgrade as a Service – with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015, 2016 and soon enough 2017 the demand for upgrades is greater than ever. QBS are offering partners a straightforward service that will relieve tensions on existing development resources and de-risk the whole upgrade process. Not only this, QBS has partnered with Syscap to enable our partners to be able to offer Upgrade as a Service paid for over a 2 or 3 year period typically. This will give QBS partners the ability to give their customers even more value! To find out more join the following Webinar and the website

Personally, I felt that this QBShare was our best yet and the feedback suggests that I may not be wrong! So once again, on behalf of the QBS team, a huge thank you for your time, your positive reactions, insightful feedback and most importantly your trust and commitment for the coming years!
