Channel Renewal Cycle – Best Practice Are there any orders that are “With Sales for Review”? Is there a large deal in play? Confirm with Renewal Rep we have send to CEO and/or CIO? Is the client committed to renew? Ensure you’re across all renewals for the qtr. Have we asked SWG Exec to call on the client? Renewal Notice Support Extension Letter Confirmation Letter Reinstatement Quotation -180 Days -90 days -30 days -10 days GPE (Grace Period Extension) +90 days Client Call 75 days Expiration Access to Renewal Quote BPs should start calling Customers 6 months in advance Client no longer entitled to support. Check with Software Renewal Rep on whether end user has raised any PMRs Resend confirmation letter if necessary. Reinstatement pricing should client want to renew at a later date. Schedule a BOM review with top accounts & IBM Renewal Rep Confirm if your customers is a part of the WW Strategic Account List?
Advantage of reaching customer well in advance. We have enough time to close the deal. There is no lapse of support There is no rejection of support Price will be valid
Why is Subscription & Support Important to Partners Protect and grow your renewal revenue S&S Renewal is a reason to revisit your client. S&S a compelling event and a clear deadline Strengthen customer loyalty Provides up-sell and cross-sell opportunity Reinstate lapsed licenses Uncover services opportunities It allows you to grow your installed base Understand your client’s technology plans Every year the customer doesn't upgrade costs increase
