visibility and credibility NOW. Professionals who are recognized in their

Customer
Relationship Marketing:
Email and Beyond
Wednesday, January 14th
8:30am - 11:30 noon
Sheraton Lexington, MA -- Route 2A at Route 128
Few deals close on the first call. And often, the most profitable
business comes from add-on sales after the initial sale. Maintaining a
close ongoing relationship with customers and prospects is one of the most
productive things marketing can do.
In this session, some of the most prominent and experienced email
marketers in the industry, plus successful practitioners, will talk about
how email driven by you, email newsletters from others, user groups,
customer advisory boards and value confirmation methods can help you close
more business.

Sales & Marketing Roundtable:
Crafting a Must Have Value Proposition - The Foundation for Success in
the Software Business
Thurs., January 8, 8:00 - 10:00 AM
IBM Solution Partnership Center
404 Wyman Street, North Entrance, Waltham
Start with a "Must Have" value proposition or fold your tent. Every
successful software company offers a "Must Have" value proposition, one
that translates into concrete revenue growth or expense reduction for a
customer. This "Must Have" value proposition may target a strategic
initiative - improving chip yield or raising field sales productivity or a
departmental imperative, like conserving cash in accounts payable. But in
every case, it renders current practice obsolete and addresses serious,
high priority pain.
The January Roundtable will focus on how these "Must Have" value
propositions are created and validated in the marketplace.
