Consider Call Out Days – Infraforce

2014 June 26—Marburg, Germany—Infraforce hosts their first WinMagic Call Out Day. This was a lead generating event initialized to inspire our partner, as well as, create brand awareness. Infraforce opened their databases to us and called in great numbers. Infraforce dedicated time to prep a list with indicators including company size and industry. In preparation they also had some key accounts ready for WinMagic representative, Georg Gann, to review and help with.

Georg started off with a short presentation as a refresher to remind the team of common technical terms. He also drew upon his personal experiences when talking to our customers and prospects, telling stories about the difficulties he usually comes across.

The WinMagic team were on standby to answer questions during the four hour calling period and an incentive was offered to the Sales Rep with the most set up meetings. The incentive was so popular, that the Managing Director of Infraforce spontaneously gave away Amazon vouchers as second prices to the rest of the team! Furthermore, wish list items for the next call out day incentives were also submitted.

It was great to see how knowledgeable our partners truly are as they asked Georg very tricky questions during preparation. This open panel of discussion prior to call out created an atmosphere conducive of a great time, high motivation and enthusiastic calling.

So to have a great call out day, consider the following principals:

1. Be Methodical in Preparation: Prepare lists with specific industry, size and revenue criteria
2. Open Discussion: Have a panel or area for discussion before and during call out
3. Offer a Great Incentive: Sales people play to win! So give them a prize.
4. Have Fun: Create a fun atmosphere that is highly motivating. Your sales teams will remember it and want to do it again.

We thank Infraforce for hosting this event and for executing a splendid event. We all got to know each other better, have follow up meetings already set and are looking forward to doing this again!

Up Close With CIO Klub In Chennai

2014 June 04—Chennai—WinMagic collaborates with Comguard and Future Calls in an event for CIO’s of leading corporations. The CIOs came from top corporations in Chennai across all verticals. Future Calls played a pivotal role in introducing WinMagic to members of the CIO Klub, Chennai chapter; while WinMagic sponsored the event. Approximately 40 CIO’s gathered in the banquet hall of Accord Metropolitan in Chennai, whilst enjoying a demonstration of PBConnex technology and delicious food.

A presentation was given by Mr. Darin Welfare, Vice President & General Manager EMEA and India, and a panel discussion on Data Security followed. The hottest topics include the severity of lost or stolen data, especially personally identifiable information, and the benefit of data encryption to mitigate that risk. The open panel discussion allowed for a robust and dynamic exchange between Mr.Welfare and the guests.

The success of this event demonstrates the importance of collaboration and open discussion. We are also personally meeting each one of the corporations as a follow up action. It is evident that this face to face interaction is necessary for developing relationships and is encouraged when working in field.
