Episode Notes

Key Takeaways

• At the Biz Apps Partner Marketing Workshop, Ben will be at a "help desk" for partners and those involved with Microsoft Partner Center which is a valuable opportunity for the community to get support without the hassle of submitting support tickets or paying for input. Ben will be at the help desk during the entirety of the Biz Apps Partner Marketing Workshop, which takes place from 12-6 PM on Sunday, October 13, in San Antonio, Texas.
• There are common questions from both ISVs and SIs about using Partner Center for tasks like publishing on AppSource, engaging in co-sell plays, and managing leads. Basic configuration and functional questions, such as setting permissions and pipeline management, are also frequently asked. While ISVs focus on making and selling software, SIs have more complex and multifaceted operations within Partner Center. Ben encourages attendees to come prepared with questions.
• Partners should bring their computers and be ready to log into the Partner Center for a hands-on experience and expect to cover topics like partner capability scores and reporting.
