What Does it Mean to Not be a Tommy Boy? “ Channel must be knowledgeable on all your products and latest technology updates.” “ Channel must be able to sell on their own with the latest competitive analysis and company positioning.” “ Channel must feel “connected ” to the vendor to build loyalty and knowledge.” “ Channel must have instant access to latest vendor marketing programs.” “ Channel must be able to easily utilize channel programs like lead forwarding, MDF, and Deal Registration.” “ Channel should be part of an overall business plan .”
