Office 365 June Promotions: MigrationWiz and the Big Easy

  • Article

Q:

What incentives are available to help me close Office 365 deals in the last two weeks of June 2012?

 

A:

OK… So it’s not a question from a specific partner, but it is something every partner should be asking right now. In the interest of closing our FY12 sales strong, Microsoft has several promotions running now through the end of June:

 

Brand New! U.S. Microsoft Migration License Promotion for Office 365

For qualified U.S. partners we have exciting news to help you migrate your customer’s mailboxes during this month of June to Office 365.  Microsoft is pleased to announce the Microsoft Migration License Promotion to assist with migrating new customer purchases, or those that have already purchased Office 365 but not migrated yet.

Ongoing! Big Easy 8

I know my peers have already blogged about this, but I love the partner subsidy rebates. But I wanted to highlight that Office 365 deals have a 15% rebate!

If you aren’t familiar with this program, a percentage of the recommended retail price of the product is returned to the customer in the form of a check. The catch is that the check is made out to the partner; the customer can then use the check to pay for additional software or services using that money. The way I look at it, the customer is happy because they got some money back from Microsoft, the partner should be happy because they don’t have to discount their services to help close the sale, and Microsoft is happy because we got to close another software sale: Win, Win, Win! This is our 8th iteration which started earlier this year and runs through the end of June. Details can be found on the Big Easy site.
