Are you winning every deal in front of you but still finding your growth stalled at the gold level? Most Microsoft partners fail to realize that winning individual deals and building a scalable business are two completely different skill sets. This video explores how to stop chasing finite transactions and start building a strategic engine that compounds your success.
In this guide, we break down the critical shift from a deal-based mindset to a systems-based mindset. You will learn how the Microsoft partner program is specifically designed to reward those who understand the Partner Capability Score (PCS) rather than just those who close the most sales. We dive deep into the specific levers you can pull to increase your score, starting with skilling and certifications that anyone on your team can complete in a few hours.
You will also discover the power of CPOR (Claiming Partner of Record) and why failing to file these claims is costing you double the points on your scorecard. We cover how to unlock massive project funding through ECIF, which can range from 10,000 to 500,000 dollars, and how to leverage MACC to make your solutions easier for enterprise customers to buy. By the end of this video, you will understand how to build a compounding flywheel where every customer onboarded makes the next deal easier to close.
