How do you make a meaningful conversation happen with a customer?

It’s certainly not enough to wait for inbound customers to just happen. You’re going to have to go outbound. Manoj Bhatia, Vice President of Channel Sales at Acqueon, says the best way to do that is by getting good data from an impeccable customer experience that can be used to effectively communicate to that customer’s needs. Through Acqueon’s recognition, trust, and partnership with Cisco and the ISV marketplace, the solutions, and co-selling opportunities will be the right fit for the customer.

Join us as we discuss:
