Sage cross-sell webcast series
Recorded: Sage CRM
By combining Sage CRM with Sage ERP, your customer’s business benefits from end-to-end visibility—where each department is working from the same database and communicating the same information in the same way. The result is greater insight into business performance and more efficient business processes that drive growth, increase productivity, and boost profitability.
Learn how your competitors are combining CRM as a part of their "extended" ERP value proposition. Hear what's achievable in terms of cross-selling Sage CRM, or including Sage CRM in a new customer deal. Find out more about the new Sage CRM integration to Sage ERP X3 and upcoming integration to the Sage Data Cloud as shown at Sage Summit 2014.

The Sage Thought Leadership webcast series
In his inimitable style, Ed Kless, Sage senior director, partner development and strategy at Sage, opens our own version of The Tonight Show. He tells a story about a famous chess match and then connects it to a series of questions from business thinker Peter Block.
This is the first of seven podcasts from Sage Summit 2014 session entitled, Creating a new future: Partnering in the age of the cloud. This session is dedicated to the possibility that partners will be more successful in the future if they are willing to transform their business model to better reflect the realities of the new marketplace. This is hard work, as it requires us to think differently about our preconceived notions of the past and future.
If you are interested in actively participating in the creation of the future, this session is for you. This session is for all partners of Sage, regardless of product.
Other podcasts in this series include interviews with:
- Stan Mork, president of the ITA, "The small to mid-sized business owner is realizing that IT is not their core competency. This is a huge opportunity for partners," and Donald Deshaies, VP of channel management at Sage, “The flexible model, the agile model are what will help us and our partners make the shift and adapt."
- Dom Pernai, president and founder of Cornerstone Solutions, “The people who are leveraging the cloud are typical our best customers already. They are typically the market leaders in our space and are looking for ways to continue to leverage off of technology", and Doug LaBahn, SVP, product management and marketing at Sage, “We are seeing that as you move up the maturity curve (of technology), a dramatic improvement in the ability to win and keep customers."
- Jeff Roth, head of SWK Technologies, "We need to listen to each other. Understand what we are seeing out there, convey that to Sage and then market it," and Bill Rietz, VP at Sage, “It (the future) starts with a conversation and collaboration about how partners see their role in servicing their customers.”
- Peter Wolf, president and chief evangelist for Azamba, “CRM is a natural antidote to the rise of competitive pressure," and David Beard, CRM principal at Sage, “We have to use technology to even be competitive.”
- Joe Langner, EVP and general manager at Sage, “Think beyond the single solution you might be comfortable with and don’t be afraid to ask (your prospect or customer) a challenging question.”
- Ed Kless, Sage senior director, partner development and strategy at Sage, in his closing session, Creating a New Future, “Choose accountability. Choose freedom."
Definitely worth an encore, you can still view the archives of the Sage Thought Leadership webcast series, which we ran in FY 2013 as a monthly webcast series offered to Sage business partners and customers.
In these sessions, we explored how emerging technologies can transform your business for the better, we explored the hot-button topics that will reshape the way you work, and we showed how you can view key business issues and innovations through a new lens.
