Engagement:
HP Channel Partners’ Challenges:
No inside sales team or established lead generation processes
Utilization of Campaign Central portal (now called Marketing Depot as a result of
HP Channel Partners’ partnership with Marketing Bridge)

generation partners (i.e., eCoast, TSRI and Harte-Hanks)
No event support, trusted lead generation sources, productive SEO or inbound leads
Funding that less than 40% of partners would spend on existing lead generation
partners through the Marketing Depot because partners had learned to assume that
using existing (and essentially free) funding would actually result in resource drains
and too few positive results to justify spending even readily available funds
