Case Study: PC Vendor – North American Dealer Channel
A Worldwide PC vendor was ranked number four in PC
sales at the time of our engagement. Their goal was to
increase sales through their Tier-2 dealer network.
PC Vendor’s Goal
CGS identified the valid PC dealers. obtained their objectives for joining the
vendor’s partner program, an understanding of their business model, number of
sales/tech employees and geographic sales coverage
We provided the compelling reasons to sell our client’s PCs, including
several very important categories such as:
Engagement & Sales Activation
They had 7,200 Tier-2 inactive PC dealers that had
delivered little or no sales in the previous two to three
years. Vendor had minimal information about these dealers
This was a multi-year
contract.
Each year CGS delivered a
minimum of 30% increase
in sales, sequentially each
quarter.
We delivered a minimum
40% increase in sales
each year.
The average cost of sales
was less than 3%.
The vendor’s General
Manager stated “CGS
delivered higher revenue
growth than we were able
to achieve”
Results
• Margin/Profit: The dealers had no
knowledge of this information. They
were delighted when informed.
• Sales Accelerator Material: We
developed one-page documents that
provided the dealers’ sales reps with the
key information required to easily and
confidently sell the vendor’s products
• Product/Margin/Spiff Configurator: We
developed this tool for our sales team to be
able to identify the optimum products that
matched the dealer’s need within 5 seconds
on the telephone call.
• The Major Differentiator: We won the
dealers’ mindshare through the direct
support CGS’ experienced channel sales
reps provided, including pre-sales support.
• The dealers frequently commented that no other IT vendor provides direct support. This
level of CGS support assisted them to win more sales and increase their profit margin.

Case Study: IT Vendor – Worldwide Software Reseller Program
The goal was to increase the SMB sales of the
vendor’s five software brands through the recruitment
of new channel partners in North America and Europe.
Goal: Increase Software Sales
• All of the program goals
were achieved.
Results
• CGS and the vendor identified the list of new
partner candidates that would be recruited by CGS
in North America and Europe.
• CGS is a leader in delivering new qualified partners
that will make commitments to become certified
and actively sell the vendors’ products
Best-In-Class Partner Recruitment
• Every partner recruited was required
to agree to a timeframe to attend
sales and technical training courses to
achieve applicable certifications.
• CGS eliminates the 80/20 rule
• Recruited over 2,200
new SMB partners.
• Over 75% of the new
partners delivered sales
• Delivered substantial net-new incremental
revenue quarter-over-quarter
Sales Activation Success Factors
• Direct Support: The SMB partners were provided direct support by
CGS that won the mindshare of these partners. No other IT vendor
provides this level of direct support to their Tier-2 SMB partners
• Pre-Sales Support: CGS’ resources were certified on the vendor’s five
software brands and provided pre-sales guidance and assisted the
partners to close sales.
• Sales Accelerator Material: We developed one-page documents that
provided the partners’ sales reps with the information required to
easily and confidently sell the vendor’s software brands.
Engagement
• Once the partners were recruited, CGS engaged in discussions and
provided direction and support that accelerated the partners
timeframe to become certified, develop their marketing plans and
finalize their go-to-market strategies.
• Each partner was assigned a CGS experienced channel sales rep as
their primary support contact.

Case Study: WW IT Vendor – Mid-Market MSP Program
The vendor had several hundred MSPs that were being supported
by the vendor’s in-field sales representatives.
The goal was to identify and recruit new “high quality” MSPs that
aligned to stringent parameters in terms of size, market
focus, market share and current sales derived from their MSP
business.
The vendor decided to implement the MSP recruitment campaign
in a cost effective manner versus utilizing their expensive in-field
sales reps. In addition, the vendor wanted to maintain the in-field
sales reps focus on generating sales through the current MSPs
versus being diverted to target new MSP candidates.
Goal: Increase Number of MSPs MSP Recruitment Campaign
Through call-out campaigns, CGS’ experienced channel sales
team contacted the recruitment candidates’ decision maker
and through a series of questions identified the MSPs that
met “ideal” and “high potential” criteria.
• For the qualified MSP candidates, CGS’ team stepped
through the vendor’s MSP Program financial
incentives, key program benefits, marketing
support, support resources and identified the MSPs that
had high interest in joining the vendor’s MSP Program.
CGS developed detailed business profiles on each qualified
partner that expressed high interest in the vendor’s Program.
• The partner profiles were reviewed with the vendor’s
sales management
• CGS provided a warm transfer for each qualified partner
to the appropriate vendor’s in-field MSP sales reps.
• The vendor’s MSP sales reps became responsible for the
management of these highly qualified MSP partners.
Partner selection criteria and the recruitment list are vital to
the success of any partner recruitment campaign. CGS ensured
that the new MSP partner selection “criteria” was well defined
and the recruitment list contained high quality targets.
CGS and the vendor developed the criteria for “ideal” and “high
potential” MSP recruitment candidates. This effort would
ensure that new MSP partners recruited were “high quality”
partners that had already made the transition to the MSP sales
model and would be able to drive volume sales.
• CGS’ recruitment tactics eliminates the 80/20 rule.
MSP Partner Recruitment Parameters
Results
CGS qualified and recruited over 300 quality MSPs within
the first three months of the program.
