If you know eFolder, you’re probably already familiar with our Lunch and Learn initiative. eFolder has dedicated a lot of time and effort over the last two years to tour the country and host lunch seminars to educate MSPs on industry trends and the eFolder product portfolio. This past year, we decided it was time to include our partners in the storytelling, and thus began implementing Partner Panels into our lunch portfolio. After all, what better way to educate MSPs than a panel of their successful peers who are living and breathing IT?
Here are three reasons you should attend an eFolder Partner Panel when we’re in your area:
1. Gain knowledge from industry experts
Partner Panels are an excellent chance to gain insight from successful partners who are currently deploying an eFolder solution. It’s a chance to ask any burning questions you may have regarding backup and disaster recovery solutions or cloud based file sync from the people who actually use it day in and day out. Not sure how to implement a business-grade file sync tool into your managed service offering? Stumped on how to market and sell a file sync solution that your clients will be interested in paying for? Unclear which BDR solution may be the perfect fit for your peace of mind? Come ask the panel of experts who have mastered those strategies and are implementing them successfully. It’s real advice from real MSPs.
2. Networking with Peers
Partner Panel lunch events encourage participation from all the attendees, so it’s a great opportunity for all the MSPs in the room to get involved in the conversation. These events create a forum for MSPs to share best practices and learn from each other’s successes and failures—not just from the panel partners. More often than not, attendees end up trading business cards at the lunches so that they can follow up with each other with additional questions and advice.
3. Connect with “The People Behind Your Cloud”
If you’ve attended an eFolder lunch event before, you’ve probably gotten some excellent face time with one of our sales team, account managers, or even a sales engineer. If you go to an eFolder Partner Panel, you will get to meet a member of the eFolder Community Team. Our team prides itself in truly fostering the eFolder partner community and being an additional resource for our partners and prospects to get the information and help they are looking for. Meeting people from the eFolder team in person helps to reinforce those vendor relationships.
Partner Panel luncheons are a beneficial way to gain insight on incorporating new products and solutions into your managed service offering. It’s an open forum to have a dialogue with local MSPs, trade tips, share best practices, and connect with the eFolder team.
