										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How do you engage users to seriously explore your offering in a new market segment? For two Dynamics ISVs—SKsoft and Celigo—the answer nearly always involves repeated testing.</p>
<p>Take SKsoft, which recently entered the Dynamics 365 Business Central market and is undergoing a rebrand. According to Aynsley Keller, a senior director, SKsoft relies on MSDynamicsWorld.com (MSDW) to maximize reach and access to prospective customers and partners. Over more than 10 years of working with MSDW, SKsoft has leveraged carefully crafted white papers to achieve its goals.</p>
<p>With each transition in the Dynamics space, Aynsley has seen their highly targeted white papers on MSDW work wonders in generating high-quality sales leads. “It gave us validation” in the market each time, she says. Relying on MSDW’s advice on content adjustments in its testing “turned out to be one of the best decisions we made.”</p>
<p>Gaining market validation was the main challenge for ISV Celigo, which was expanding its reach beyond the NetSuite channel. According to Megan McDonagh, senior partner marketing manager, “Celigo can be very difficult to understand if you’re not familiar with integration platforms or iPaaS, but the MSDW team has taken the time to really understand what we do, how we help Microsoft users, and how we can work together to get valuable content to these users.”</p>
<p>Celigo’s initial webcast a year ago “didn’t necessarily resonate with Dynamics users,” she says, generating only 30 sales leads. “MSDW gave us great feedback we could use to improve”, and it worked.</p>
<p>In a follow-up webcast, Celigo received more than triple the number of sales leads—100. The follow-up topic “resonated better with users,” McDonagh recalls. “MSDW not only has 100,000 site members, but really takes the time to get to know the ISVs in their programs,” she says. As a result, Celigo has planned additional marketing campaigns with MSDW.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>White papers can be magnets for a diverse set of leads at various stages of the buying cycle. Thousands of people download ISV and partner white papers on MSDW each year, and our primary research has shown that a good number of those leads are often in the information-gathering phase. Because of this, these leads require careful nurturing rather than an immediate push towards a purchase. One question that often comes up from ISVs who receive leads from white paper downloads on MSDW is, &#8220;Should I just send them a link to schedule a product demo?&#8221; The short answer is &#8220;maybe,&#8221; but the reply hinges on understanding where exactly these leads are in their buying journey.</p>
<p>Understanding the buying stage of your white paper leads is crucial for determining the most effective follow-up strategy. One-size-fits-all approaches rarely work in lead nurturing. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s essential to tailor your follow-up methods to suit the specific needs and stages of each lead, transforming them from casual information-seekers into genuine prospects. In this article, we explore five effective ways to engage and nurture the leads you&#8217;ve acquired from white paper downloads, ensuring that you&#8217;re addressing their specific needs and moving them closer to a buying decision.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Try to Determine Buy-Cycle Stage</strong>: Understanding a lead&#8217;s position in the buying cycle is pivotal for an efficient follow-up strategy. Leads in the early stages of the buying cycle might require more nurturing and information, whereas those in the later stages might be ready for a product demo or a sales call. To assess this, employ behavior tracking or examine their interaction with your content. Even a straightforward survey could gain significant insights into their buying cycle stage. (Notably, MSDW will soon unveil a feature for assessing purchase intent, which will significantly streamline the process of identifying your leads’ current stage in the buying cycle)</li>
<p></br></p>
<li><strong>Nurture them</strong>: People who download white papers generally seek information for a potential solution and may not be prepared to make a purchase instantly. It’s crucial to keep these leads engaged by continually supplying additional content that corresponds with the original white paper they downloaded. This approach not only sustains the conversation but also reinforces your brand and messaging in their minds.</li>
<p></br></p>
<li><strong>Personalize Everything</strong>: Making leads feel understood and valued is essential for successful follow-up, and personalization plays a key role in achieving this. Utilize the data you&#8217;ve collected to customize the content you send them, addressing their specific needs, challenges, and objectives. Tailored content enhances their engagement levels, moving them further down the sales funnel and closer to conversion.</li>
<p></br></p>
<li><strong>Invite them to a Webinar</strong>: Inviting leads to a webinar is another effective strategy to offer additional value while simultaneously qualifying the lead further. A webinar allows for a deeper exploration of topics that the white paper might have briefly addressed, offering prospects the chance to interact and pose questions, thus enhancing their connection with your company and solutions.</li>
<p></br></p>
<li><strong>Conduct a Needs Assessment</strong>: It&#8217;s essential to find out a prospect’s specific requirements before presenting a product demo. Conduct a focused conversation to determine their challenges, objectives, and pain points. This discussion not only helps in qualifying the lead but also furnishes crucial information that allows you to modify your product demo to align with their unique needs. A tailored demo increases the probability of conversion by demonstrating the direct relevance and impact of your product or service on their specific situation.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: left;">Navigating the process of following up on white paper leads involves understanding diverse factors, such as the lead&#8217;s position in the buying cycle and their unique needs and hurdles. By putting those five effective and proven methods into action, you can considerably enhance your follow-up approach, making it much more focused and efficient.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Don&#8217;t ignore the post-webinar follow-up process&#8212;it&#8217;s the most important part!</strong></em></p>
<p>Ok, so you&#8217;ve worked closely with the MSDW team to carefully plan and execute a webinar. Leveraging MSDW’s hyper-targeting audience system, the event was promoted directly to the group of Microsoft Business Applications community members you specifically wanted to reach. This effort resulted in 100 highly-targeted registrants, with an impressive 65% attendance rate&#8211;and that&#8217;s not even considering the on-demand leads still to come. Those are fantastic numbers, and those pre-webinar activities made it happen! However, with the webinar concluded, now comes the crucial phase: the post-webinar follow-up.</p>
<p>Every year, MSDW organizes and promotes over 200 webinars led by Dynamics ISVs and partners. Many of these companies are proactive, having well-defined processes to engage with leads generated from webinars. Yet, a considerable number are still without a structured follow-up strategy in place. No matter how outstanding your webinar content may be, what truly matters is the consistent engagement after the webinar. Without a dedicated strategy to sustain this engagement, the hard work poured into creating and planning the webinar might not yield the desired ROI.</p>
<p>After discussions with lots of ISVs and partners about crafting an effective post-webinar follow-up strategy, we&#8217;ve assembled a list of the top 5 recommended actions that go way beyond sending a “thank you email” (although that’s important, too!).</p>
<ol>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ol>
<li><strong>Dive Deep with Data Segmentation</strong>: Don&#8217;t just glance over your webinar data; dissect it thoroughly. Understand the full scope of your reach. Who registered? Who among them attended? How long did they stay engaged? If you’re an ISV, how many partners and/or end-users did you attract? Which industry categories do these end users belong to? Every detail can drive your next strategic move.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol start="2">
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ol start="2">
<li><strong>Personalize Email Communications</strong>: Remember, every individual who registered for your webinar has a unique story, and you know some of it by the data they submitted when signing up. While they collectively all showed interest in your session, it doesn&#8217;t translate to identical needs and preferences. Rather than treating registrants as a single group of leads, view each registrant as a unique individual. Based on the data they provided, they should receive a thoughtfully tailored follow-up email that speaks directly to them.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol start="3">
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ol start="3">
<li><strong>Champion Continuous Engagement:</strong> View your webinar as the ignition spark of a longer, inspiring content exchange journey with every registrant. Given the insights you&#8217;ve collected about each person and their demonstrated interest in your session&#8217;s topic, it&#8217;s pivotal to keep the momentum going. Serve them with further content tailored to their potential interests, ensuring that their engagement with your company remains strong and meaningful. Keep in mind the importance of also establishing your company as a thought leader and expert in your specific focus area. Offering them a consistent flow of supplementary content, such as white papers, case studies, videos, and the like, is an effective strategy to achieve this.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol start="4">
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ol start="4">
<li><strong>Conduct a Post-Webinar Strategy Discussion: </strong>Given that your registrants all displayed interest in your webinar&#8217;s topic by signing up, it&#8217;s logical to extend the conversation. Host a subsequent group discussion to delve deeper into the themes introduced during the session, fostering further engagement. This follow-up discussion can uncover areas of particular interest, sparking further questions and insights. It also showcases your company&#8217;s dedication to not only introducing topics but thoroughly exploring and clarifying them for your audience.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<ol start="5">
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ol start="5">
<li><strong>Promptly Identify the Buying Cycle Stage</strong>: Recognizing where each registrant is in their buying journey is crucial. In fact, it might be the most pivotal aspect of the post-webinar follow-up. By understanding their current stage, you can tailor your communications and interactions more effectively, ensuring that your outreach is both timely and relevant. This insight not only deepens the relationship with potential clients but also optimizes your resources, directing marketing efforts where they&#8217;re most likely to yield results. Moreover, a well-timed approach can significantly boost conversion rates and foster long-term loyalty.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Overall, organizing and promoting a webinar is essential, but its true success is measured by what happens after. The relationship with your registrants doesn&#8217;t stop at the webinar&#8217;s conclusion; it&#8217;s just the start. Using the actions mentioned above can transform a single webinar encounter into a long-term bond with your audience. Remember, in this digital era, continuous engagement and tailored communication are vital. Treat each webinar as a starting point for deeper connections. As you move forward, ensure that your post-webinar strategy is as robust, if not more so, than the preparations that went into the webinar itself. By doing so, you&#8217;ll be setting your company up for sustained success!</p>

<p>ISVs and partners are concerned with both top-of-the-funnel awareness tactics or bottom-of-the-funnel sales activity. But it is the middle-of-the-funnel that needs time and attention for you to get to know your audience and build trust.

<p>In this session we will hear from several seasoned Dynamics marketers who have figured out successful strategies to brand their companies or produce sales leads for their organizations.

<p>● 2:15 – 3:15: <strong>Which ISV and Partner Content Resonates Best with Users&#8230;.and Which Resonates Worst</strong></p>
<p>The MSDynamicsWorld (MSDW) team constantly analyzes the content consumption trends and habits of people in the Microsoft Dynamics channel—everything from which types of content are consumed the most (white papers vs. videos vs. articles, etc.), to why certain messaging and themes tend to resonate better than others. While some topics are proven winners, we have discovered that certain characteristics predict whether a piece of content will be consumed by prospective buyers.</p>
<p>Join Adam Berezin, MSDW&#8217;s Co-Founder and CEO, to learn:</p>
<ul>
<li>Which types of ISV and partner content are being consumed the most by users within each Dynamics product group</li>
<li>The evolution of content consumption in the Dynamics channel</li>

<p>● 3:45 &#8211; 4:45: <strong><em>(Expert Panel &amp; Breakout Groups)</em> What Dynamics 365 Systems Integrators Want from Their ISV Relationships</strong></p>
<p>Business Applications is one of the fastest-growing sectors of Microsoft’s commercial business. We are seeing both SMB customers and global enterprises actively moving their business applications to the Microsoft Cloud. One of the results of this wave of digital transformation is the growth of the number of ISV partners and add-on applications. The panel will provide guidance on taking advantage of the lucrative but complex relationships ISVs are forming with systems integrator (SI) partners in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform space.</p>
<p>Topics will include:</p>

<li>Initial contact – building the initial relationship</li>

<li>Getting serious &#8211; the partner agreement</li>
<li>Working your first deal</li>
<li>Building a long-term, high-touch, high-value relationship</li>
</ul>
<p>Marketer breakout groups to share successful strategies for working with partners.</p>
