Programme Objective
One of the international market leaders in PCs wanted to train its Tier 1 and 2 partners on the
new features of their partner portal and increase usage. The challenge was to train sales teams of
partners on changes, upgrades, and feature additions in the portal within 30 days. The relevant
partners were spread across 15 cities in the country. The objective was also to finally get a
certificate from all these partners that they had fully understood the features and benefits and all
their salespersons were now fully trained.

In order to make the initiative a success, CT created a training deck for the partners, trained the
trainers through video conferencing as well as on location and ensured that all partner locations
were visited after taking an appointment and feedback was collected from the partner owner. CT
representatives trained the partners with the help of electronic aids, addressed their
queries/forwarded them to the Company, and even went beyond their brief by helping partners
resolve their other issues too!

Programme Objective
Enhance Usage of MDF amongst performing partners and closely monitor results and incorporate

CT's Value Addition
Conducted a joint meeting with Partner where he filled the Marketing Fund Application Form.
Filling this form was essentially a planning exercise where he qualified the segment he was
targeting , product focus, Campaign type, justification of campaign, time lines and budget.
Each partner agreed on a specific marketing plan and budgets were allocated for activities like
Advertising/Advertorials, Direct Marketing, Telemarketing, Digital Marketing, and Participation in
Industry Events, Event Marketing and PR.
Once this document was signed, the partner started the execution. Here the partner had a choice
of either getting the execution done through CT or himself.
In either case CT would keep in touch with the partner to ensure that the planned activity is
completed on time, opportunities reported and invoiced.
