What is a "Partner of Record"?

A Microsoft 'Partner of Record' is usually the supplier you bought your CRM software from. It could be a Microsoft Partner, a local Microsoft Reseller or a Microsoft Distributor (such as Ingram Micro or Misco).

Microsoft analysis shows that customers are far more likely to make best use of CRM when they have a Partner assigned to look after them rather than deal direct with Microsoft telesales teams.

Different Partners have different strategies when dealing with customers. Many Partners want to encourage customers to outsource all changes and developments to the Partner so they can ensure a high quality service.

However some customers feel this comes at a high cost of consultancy and often delays the implementation of relatively minor changes to their CRM system.  The end result is that many customers end up wanting to move some or all of the CRM development in-house.

F1's approach to Partnering with customers is much more focused around empowerment. We want to help customers help themselves by training their teams in the skills needed to do more CRM development themselves, and to provide regular coaching and encouragement. 

While we do have CRM consultants available if you require them, we believe that for many customers the best way to use their CRM system is to be self-sufficient when it needs to be customised.

F1 therefore views being a 'Partner of Record' as primarily a relationship-building exercise which, while it generates a small income to F1, it means that more customers in the long term will be aware and hopefully make use of F1 CRM training and consultancy services.

F1 is therefore pleased to announce that if you select F1 as your 'Partner of Record', you will immediately receive a 20% discount on all your future CRM training and certification bookings.
