Microsoft Partners - Altico Advisors, Lighthouse Computer Services, Coffee + Dunn - Launch “Better Together” Campaign to Promote Microsoft Dynamics CRM Productivity Suite
Marlborough, MA, Lincoln, RI, Dallas, TX (PRWEB) April 07, 2015 -- The Microsoft Productivity Suite contains all of the tools and applications a company needs to “marry” sales and marketing. Once sales and marketing are aligned, they can work as a cohesive, collaborative Business Development unit. The Productivity Suite is powered by Microsoft Dynamics CRM and its interoperability with Microsoft Dynamics Marketing, Office 365, Power BI and SharePoint.
The “Better Together” campaign is a creative marketing approach launched by three Microsoft Partners, each of whom brings unique expertise to the project. Altico Advisors specializes in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online; Lighthouse Computer Services adds its expertise in Office 365, SharePoint and Power BI; while Coffee + Dunn is dedicated to delivering the Microsoft Dynamics Marketing services that round out the Productivity Suite solution.
“The first stage of the campaign was an introduction to concept of ‘marrying’ sales and marketing to achieve an enhanced customer experience that reflects the reality of a new sales cycle,” says Mike Kean, Altico Advisors President. “Today’s buyers use the Internet and social channels to do their own research. Our prospective clients don’t engage with us until they have already shortlisted a solution like Microsoft Dynamics CRM.”
Buyers are not interested in generalized marketing brochures. They want to get under the covers of the software to see the power, the benefits, and the ROI of a fully integrated solution.
“That’s why we launched the campaign with the Coffee + Dunn eBook ‘Marrying Sales & Marketing,’” explains Eric Rotkow, Principal at Coffee + Dunn. “The eBook outlines why marketing and sales belong together to deliver improved visibility into the sales process, ready access to information on trends and performance, and increased accountability among sales and marketing team members.”
The “Better Together” campaign will continue with a second eBook that will dive into greater detail on mastering social selling, planning and execution, strategies for the new sales cycle, workflows to maximize lead-to-conversion rates, and using data and analytics to build a proactive approach to business development.
“We will also be releasing a whiteboard video, ‘Imagine a World,’” continues Tom Mrva, CEO at Lighthouse Computer Services, “to help companies understand that a major paradigm shift has occurred wherein it takes a team of sales and marketing professionals working collaboratively and strategically together to pursue leads and close business.”
The culmination of the “Better Together” campaign will be a day-in-the-life scenario presented in the Microsoft Envisioning Center (known as the MEC) in Cambridge. The MEC is an intimate, theater style environment for a live performance/demonstration of how all of the Productivity Suite pieces come together.
