In this week’s “3 Bars | 3 Questions” episode, I was nominated by Tom Blair<\/a> to talk about SoftLayer’s Channel Sales team and the competitive advantages our three partner programs<\/a> (strategic, referral and reseller) have over our competition.<\/p>\n

As you’ll see in the video, we actually covered seven or eight questions, but the basic framework for the chat were these three:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How does SoftLayer define the channel?<\/li>\n
  2. What’s happening in the SoftLayer channel program?<\/li>\n
  3. How does SoftLayer’s referral program differ from the programs offered by competitors?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Because we had quite a bit of ground to cover, the video goes about 15 minutes, but I hope it’s entertaining and informative throughout. Be sure to stick around through the end of the video to hear the best analogy I can think of for SoftLayer’s program.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n

    To learn more about the new referral partner program I mention, email referral@softlayer.com<\/a>, and we can fill you in.<\/p>\n

    Since we recently announced an awesome partnership with TechWildcatters<\/a>, I’m looking forward to hearing what SoftLayer VP of Community Development Paul Ford has to say about what else is coming up. Paul, enjoy the hot seat!<\/p>\n
