VMware PEX 2012: Sessions to Attend

VMware Partner Exchange 2012 is right around the corner, and the Doyenz crew will be there to demo rCloud on the showfloor! With so many great sessions to attend, how do you know where to be and when? We did a bit of research and here are our top five picks for sales and marketing related sessions. (You can view the entire show catalog for the event here.)

1) Build and Effectively Position Your 2012 SMB Strategy for Success

This session will address specific bundles and opportunities that VMware has put together to address the SMB market. They will also cover sales training opportunities and new customer acquisition incentives that are available to increase partner profitability. Scheduled for 02/14/2012 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

2) Social Media Strategies for Success

As community manager here at Doyenz, I'm always on the lookout for new and clever ways to use social media. Social media has become crucial to growing a business, and therefore deserves not just a strategy but a step-by-step plan for success. This session will discuss common social media pitfalls, strategies and how to stay relevant and competitive in this growing area. Scheduled for 02/14/2012 2:45 pm - 3:45 pm.

3) Invest, Transition and Grow SaaS Profits in the Cloud…a Partner Perspective

A partner’s perspective is invaluable and their feedback, whether positive or negative, is important because it allows you as the business owner to correct your plan, or stay on course. This session will focus on transitioning to the cloud and will seek to answer the question:  “To cloud or not to cloud?" As a cloud-based DR company we believe the answer is “to cloud.” Either way, this session will be a good one to attend for those interested in Software-as-a-Service. Scheduled for 02/15/2012 1:45 pm - 2:45 pm

4) Your Demos and Your Numbers: A New Strategy for Surprisingly Compelling Product Demonstrations

If you have ever given a product demo, you know how much of a challenge it can be to keep your audience engaged and excited about your presentation. This session promises to help you better understand how to keep the “wow” factor in your demos and how to demo with purpose, presenting the most important thing first to achieve the desired results. Scheduled for 02/15/2012 1:45 pm - 2:45 pm

5) Selling the VMware Advantage for Business Continuity and Security

One session that stood out amongst the dozens of VMware mini-events happening within PEX 2012 is all about getting back to the basics: How to sell the VMware advantage for Business Continuity and Security. Scheduled for 02/14/2012 12:15 pm - 1:15 pm

VMware PEX 2012 will undoubtedly be a busy onslaught of vendors, sessions and after parties, but if you find time in your crazy schedule stop by booth 809 and say hello to the Doyenz team. We have prizes, but most importantly we have a stash of 5 Hour Energy to keep you going as you enjoy VMware PEX! See you there!
