Microsoft Partner
Microsoft Co-Sell
Partners are the growth engine for Microsoft, and Microsoft is the growth engine for partners. As we are one of the original Microsoft co-sell partners, we have experienced the benefits of being a Microsoft Partner. Co-selling allows us to work directly with Microsoft on joint selling opportunities to reach a large community of customers, take solutions to market, drive joint revenue, and ensure customer success.
Lead the way for Business Transformation
Microsoft delivers millions of referrals to partners every year, helping businesses grow relationships and reach new customers. This new approach to generate the ultimate sales success will make you understand why co-sell matters to sellers. Partners need to adopt strategies that employ different avenues of sales opportunities. Three partner selling motions are:
- Sell through partner – Partners sell and/ or resell Microsoft technology through their sellers.
- Services Co-sell – Sellers and partners collaborate to sell a partner’s project and/or managed service with Microsoft technology embedded.
- IP Co-sell – Sellers and partners collaborate to sell a partner’s repeatable and packaged IP solution.
Benefits of Partner Co-Sell
One of the main benefits we have seen is growing our sales! Regardless of how small or big, your business is, co-selling with Microsoft sets you on a powerful growth trajectory. Through the Co-sell program, your software products become part of the Microsoft Product Catalog enabling the Microsoft sales teams and Microsoft Cloud Solution Partners (CSPs) to sell your products globally. Furthermore, Microsoft offers monitory incentives to their sales team and the 70,000 CSPs to be selling your products! Some other benefits we have seen include:
- Accessing new markets
- Shortening the sales cycle
- Reducing the cost of sale
- Growth within current relationships
- Reaching new customers
- Work directly with Microsoft
- Drive efficiency and close deals faster

– Damon Kelly, CEO at Enlighten Designs.
