Best Practices
Use the Harvard Business Review study to establish a need– 78% strongly agreed on connecting Firstline Workers with information and technologies like those in F1: communications, collaboration, learning, performance management.
Discuss GDPR and Firstline– providing each Firstline Worker with their own identity and mailbox helps with GDPR compliance by securing employee communication and eliminating shared identity/mailboxes.
Position StaffHub correctly– Establish StaffHub as the purpose-built app for Firstline Workers, streamlining core shift and workday management and expanding to deliver additional value through integration to business apps.
Engage the right decision-makers- Involve IT and someone from another group like HR or operations to help land the vision that investing in Firstline Workers can fundamentally shift engagement and effectiveness.
Look for Digital Transformation– Listen for discussions about transforming other parts of the business and think about ways they can incorporate their Firstline Workers into this process.
Understand a “day in the life”– Work with stakeholders to spend time with firstline employees to learn how they operate and to understand where F1 may help increase efficiency, provide cost savings, or meet company objectives.
Use industry-specific language and case studies– Customers look at their industry for guidance and applicability and view challenges as specific to their industry; so surfacing Microsoft 365 F1 in context can shorten the sales cycle.
Take ownership of deployment– Avoid the trap of focusing on sales and not deployment. Helping to make the deployment successful will improve the likelihood of renewal or account upgrades.
Bring Firstline Workers into the customer’s “security estate”– Discuss the customer’s security estate and the importance of extending that estate to cover Firstline Workers to ensure a comprehensive approach to security.
Add services and solutions – Add professional and managed services and solutions to customize your offer to the needs of the customer and ensure successful deployment and adoption.
