Ora più che mai vogliamo sostenere il nostro canale Business Applications e per questo abbiamo pianificato il primo QBShare in Italia, l’evento per i nostri partner Dynamics, in un modo molto speciale.

Adattandoci alla situazione attuale, abbiamo realizzato un nuovo formato di QBShare più consono ai vostri ritmi di lavoro.

In questa prima edizione online di QBShare abbiamo scelto di distribuire i contenuti in un’unica sessione di 3 ore in modo che non impatti sui vostri ritmi di lavoro, sia comunque il più redditizia possibile e vi permetta di partecipare con le persone che ritenete più opportune.

Create more leads and win more deals through customer education

/in , /da

These days, IT innovation develops faster than ever before in history. While that opens great opportunities for organisations all over the world, it also creates a lot of stress since failure is not a realistic option (anymore).

Here are some of the dilemma’s for your prospects and customers:

  • We know we must modernise our business processes to stay relevant. But how to change the organisation? And what is the best timing?
  • How can we measure the expected continuity of the vendors on our shortlist?
  • How can we motivate our team members to put full energy into the project?
  • Should we migrate to the cloud now or is it better to wait?
  • We want our staff to be more agile in their thinking and their ability to change. But how do we get there? And what is the exemplary behavior needed from the management?
  • How can we avoid that Digital Transformation turns into ‘just another IT project’ with even more complexity?
  • How can modern IT tools support us in putting our customers first?

Where are your customers today?

In order to keep up with the competition, your projects must be successful in the first attempt. With a short Time-to-Value. Unfortunately, most of your existing and future SMB customers don’t have the knowledge, the persuasion nor the power to take the best decisions. Most of them select and implement for the first or second time in their lives. As a result, that creates big uncertainty. So it’s no wonder that ‘No Decision’ has developed into everybody’s biggest competitor these days!

Customer education

Modern and innovative Microsoft Dynamics partners focus on educating their customers and help them prepare for Successful Projects. Rather than pushing their solutions. This attitude not only helps them to create more leads and win more deals. It also secures the right support from their customers’ top-management when implementing these solutions.

About this webinar

In this free, 40 minutes webinar, Guus Krabbenborg will share his observations and the results he has achieved by his extensive customer education activities. He will inspire you regarding the best way to approach customers and prospects. Next to that, he will also position three different education formats. And shares the options he sees for your company to start delivering one or more of these formats yourself shortly. Guus has been delivering ERP and CRM Masterclasses to potential buyers ever since 2005.

This is a webinar that you definitely don’t want to miss!

The impact of the higher update frequency on customer satisfaction (and your own business!)

/in , , , /da

Microsoft is moving all her business solutions into the cloud. One of the impacts is a much higher update frequency. As we speak, this frequency is changing from every two years to every year to every half year and even every quarter. Have you already figured out what the impact is on aspects like your knowledge levels, your support liabilities and the quality of your support?

In this edition of QBS Talks we’ll discuss the impact of this new update frequency on the long-term satisfaction of your SaaS customers. And on various other aspects of your business. After this session, you’ll walk away with a good understanding of the impact of frequent SaaS updates and a series of ideas to turn this into smart strategies.

Hot news from the eXtreme365 EMEA event

/in , , , , /da

The most important Microsoft Dynamics partner event in the CRM domain is called eXtreme365. The EMEA edition will be delivered this year in Dubrovnik, Croatia from March 19th till 21st. Microsoft Dynamics partners can expect announcements, updates and new strategies around Dynamics 365.

Like every year, QBS group is attending eXtreme365 with a team of people. And for sure we will write another edition of our famous series of Business Reports for Dynamics partners.

But before doing that we want to inform you at first hand via QBS Talks about all this news just a few days after the event. You definitely don’t want to miss this webinar!

How to effectively present your winning proposal

/in , , , , , , /da

Too often, proposals for new Microsoft Dynamics solutions are purely measured on price. And this increases the chance of discounts and the postponement of the decision. One of the main reasons for this is the way most sales people present their proposals.

In this edition of QBS Talks you’ll learn how to present your proposal in a more effective way. One that moves your prospect’s focus away from price towards quality and business value. We will discuss the main characteristics of the decision-making process and the role that buying emotions play. After this session you’ll walk away with a good understanding of how to win more deals by effectively presenting your proposal.

The CSP Direct model is like an iceberg | Webinar

/in , , , , /da

At QBS group we believe that our partners deserve the best. The best support, the best software and the best stories. A couple of months ago we have asked one of our UK partners, Creative Business Systems, to share their thoughts and experiences with you on their journey to the cloud. We asked Amit Wason if he could share his experience with you on the matter of a direct or indirect approach. We wrote a blog about his experience.

CSP inDirect

On the 19th of February Nelson Tavares da Silva will be the host of our webinar explaining what it all means when you are considering to collaborate with an Indirect Cloud Solution Provider for your Microsoft cloud offering. Amit Wason from Creative Business Systems will share during the webinar his findings with you becoming an Indirect CSP.

A smart choice, because selecting an Indirect CSP means that you can start reselling Dynamics 365 and Office 365 directly without big investments upfront. On top of that, selecting QBS group as your Microsoft Indirect CSP is the perfect match!

If you’re deciding to become a CSP partner, this is a session you don’t want to miss!

 

Creating the winning quotation

/in , , , , , , /da

Your quotation is the first legal document in any sales cycle – both in a traditional face-to-face sales as in an online sale process.

On the one hand, your quotation is the commercial document that needs to support your proposition and motivates your prospects to take a positive decision. On the other hand, the document needs to limit your financial and legal risks. So how good is your standard quotation today? Our observation is that the clear majority is far from perfect. Often written ‘inside-out’, mainly focused on the partner interests and incomplete where the tasks and responsibilities of the customer are concerned.

In this edition of QBS Talks you’ll learn how to create an attractive and solid standard quotation, that will help you to win more deals and to deliver better projects. After this session, you’ll walk away with a good understanding of the topics you need to address in your quotation. And what can happen if you’re quotation is incomplete. To make things a bit easier for you, we will also introduce a framework that you can use to re-design your current standard quotation, if you want to.

If you’re active in sales or marketing, this is a session you don’t want to miss!

Has your customers ERP gone sour?

/in /da

When was the last time your customer updated their PC or telephone with the latest update?

Last night? Last week? Last month? But probably not much longer back. And what about their ERP system? Two years ago? Three years? It is more likely that they are running a NAV version that is five years old or more, just like 70% of the companies using NAV.

Each year Microsoft releases a new version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV with new powerful features, so each year your customers Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution becomes outdated. But how can they stay up-to-date with this hectic schedule without spending too much time scoping, budgeting, approving, and planning the process?

To be quite honest: updating any ERP system is not as easy as 1-2-3 but we would like to introduce to you as our QBS partner to the process that comes as close to that as possible.

Dynamics Upgrade Service takes care of the upgrade of your customer’s current solution to a new NAV version.


The Dynamics Upgrade Service allows QBS partners to make more money with upgrading old legacy Navision installations (including Add-ons and Reports), release senior employees’ time, create customer end user satisfaction and most importantly, protect your current install base!

We would like to introduce you to a unique approach to upgrade your current NAV environment. We can offer you a fixed-price upgrade quote, including upgrade subscription and a state-of-the-art transformation and creation tool for reports. It even includes upgrading of all your current reports – which sometimes is only included as an afterthought in many upgrade projects. We offer you the full upgrade package, end-to-end.

In this webinar we will introduce to you this unique approach to upgrade your customers current NAV environment  – this is a session you definitely don’t want to miss!

Different options in connecting Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement to Business Central using Flow

Connecting Dynamics 365 Business Central or NAV 2018 is easy  using out of the box integration tools which comes with NAV 218 and Business Central – including basic replication of entities.

But – in most cases this is not what the customer needs. We see all kinds of scenarios  where customer demands differ significantly from that ‘standard’ integration scenario. We can have multiple Business Central databases that need to sync with one single Customer Engagement instance to split invoicing for example. Or having stock and pricing changes replicated only on specific dates.

Basically, we’ll need to have flexibility in how to create and manage these (and other) scenarios.

The nice thing is: you can!

In this session, we’ll present several options to set this up using Flow.

Hope to see you there!
