Dear Cisco Select Partner,

Cisco is conducting the eleventh global survey of our Select partners, Cisco’s SMB Partner Pulse survey through Global Touch, Inc. 

Over the past two years we have received very helpful feedback from our Cisco Partners.   And as result we have provided new and enhanced programs such as Fast Track 2, Quick Pricing Tool, Partner Advisor, Smart Designs and simplify training.

As the global sales and marketing leaders for the Partner organization, we are dedicated to working with you to enable your success with Cisco.

Th! e quarterly surveys are designed to capture Cisco’s performance with its Partners and to understand what we need to do for you to help you grow your Cisco business. 

The results are reviewed by the Cisco management team and have helped us identify new programs and services that you need, as well as understand your priorities for investments.  Some of the actions we have taken as a result of your survey participation include:

Profitability Enhancements
  • Fast Track 2 program and its expanded portfolio  and aggressive up front prices, allowing faster time to quote and sell.
  • Easy to use Quick Pricing Tool (QPT)  is designed to quickly generate a bill of materials and estimate pricing for Cisco solutions.
  • Simplified incentive program with fewer tracks and automatic re-enrollment, call Value Incentive Program-Express (VIP-Express), formerly known as PDF, Partner Development Funds
  • Cisco Capital continues to offer flexible financing, attractive offers and benefits.  

Added Partner Support
  • Cisco Partner Advisor  provides access to sales and program support where you can find the right resources to help accelerate sales. Small business experts offer personalized sales, prog! ram, and tool support. 
  • SMART Designs are standardized best-practice designs that remove the guesswork from building network solutions. The easy-to-follow format helps achieve increased profitability by improving quote accuracy, simplifying deployment and reducing the complexity of ongo! ing maintenance.
  • WebCollage service that allows you to ! provide Cisco content on your website is available in French, German and Spanish.

Training on Demand – Check Small Business University – for the newest courses

  • Quick Learning Modules (QLM) are available to educate technical and sales teams and ramp up sales on new Small Business products .
Please note that availability of many of the above programs may vary by region, so please contact your local representative for complete details and availability.

We need your continued feedback through the Cisco Partner Pulse to help us provide you with the best resources, programs, and solutions.  Soon, you will receive an invitation from Global Touch, Inc  to participate in the November 2011 Cisco SMB Partner Pulse survey.  Please take 10 minutes to participate.  The results will help us improve your profitability and customer satisfaction around Cisco’s solutions.

Again, thank you for your prior feedback and we hope you will continue to participate in the Cisco’s SMB Partner Pulse quarterly survey.  We are listening and committed to make Cisco your preferred vendor for your core technology solutions.

Good Selling,
