Join us in congratulating this year’s award recipients—and all our partners who continue to deliver innovative solutions and value to our customers.
There are six critical points in the customer’s journey, from the time they start thinking about making a purchase to when they sign the contract. Successful customer engagement requires that you be prepared to navigate each of these six “moments that matter” in the buyer journey process. You need to know the right questions to ask, how to handle objections, and ultimately guide your customer to purchase.
What is PSAP?
The Microsoft Partner Sales Acceleration Program (PSAP) is an on-demand training program for partners looking to increase their knowledge across the Microsoft Cloud and build solid sales strategies. It’s a collection of sales tools and video guidance created to help you stand out in a crowded market and “get to yes” with potential SMB customers.
These learning journeys include a comprehensive library of meeting-facilitation videos, project discovery and objection-handling role-plays, and presentation and whiteboard templates for you to customize—all designed to equip you with a robust SMB sales engagement framework and a set of preconfigured sales assets that you can use immediately.
The on-demand virtual coursework includes:
- Sales guidance on how to ask the right questions and respond to objections.
- How-to videos exploring ways to navigate real-world pitch scenarios.
- Role-play videos to model recommended approaches for sales conversations.
Upon completion of your PSAP training, you can take an assessment to validate what you’ve learned.
