ICT DISTRIBUTOR DEMAND GENERATION

Generate more B2B opportunities across your IT Channel.

KN Consulting helps ICT Distributors generate more end-user leads, qualified opportunities and sales meetings from Vendor campaigns, partner-specific campaigns, MDF-funded initiatives, product launches and targeted end-user campaigns.

We understand the IT Channel ecosystem of Vendors, Distributors and Resellers and how they relate in the distribution of hardware and software to end customers. More importantly, we know how to generate B2B opportunities without disrupting the channel model.

ICT DISTRIBUTION EXPERIENCE We’ve worked within the ICT distribution environment for a number of years, including running campaigns for a top IT distribution company in SADC.

CAMPAIGN MODELS

Develop the model around your IT Channel requirements.

KNC can customise Vendor campaigns to suit MDF activity guidelines, product offerings and partner initiatives.

Distributor / Vendor Campaign

A broader campaign can generate B2B opportunities around a specific Vendor, Brand partner, hardware or software offering.

Vendor + Selected Partner

A campaign can be built around the product offering a specific Reseller is taking to market, with qualified opportunities generated for its sales team.

Multi Partner Campaign

Campaign activity can support several participating partners, with opportunity allocation structured according to the agreed campaign model.

Existing Campaign Activity

KNC can take leads already generated by advertising, campaigns or events and convert that interest into qualified B2B opportunities and meetings.

CAMPAIGN CRM

Don’t let campaign leads disappear.

KNC also has the capability to manage the entire lead journey through a campaign CRM, including qualification, partner allocation, meetings, follow-up, pipeline tracking and reporting.

If you do not currently have a CRM supporting campaign activity, KNC can manage the campaign CRM environment on your behalf. If you already have a lead-management process, we can work within or alongside it.
