As technology rapidly enables the rest of the world to improve almost everything about how they work, the field of sales channel incentives has remained a notable exception. Much of the way programs are currently executed has been "updated" by simply taking the old way and plunking the exact same process online.
In an evermore-connected world, it is not enough to build great products. Your brand must ensure that you give customers an incredible experience, even prior to purchase.
The good thing is that it is getting increasingly easier to scale great client experience, and it can make your job more fun.
Part of the challenge is that with the proliferation of digital mediums and platforms available, it is tough to decide where to allocate resources.
Jason Atkins, founder and CEO of 360incentives has been working at modernizing the sales channel management industry for nearly 20 years, finally founding 360 in 2008.
In this presentation, you'll learn the most cutting edge tactics to make sure that your programs are delivering the best possible outcomes.
You'll walk away with:
- 10 solid ways to ensure your programs are delivering the best possible user experience.
- Tactics for building re-marketing opportunities with your channels and consumers
- Ways to drive more value for your channel, your customers and YOU

businesses and create new opportunities. Before founding 360 in 2008, he was president and CEO with

90’s.
