Hosting Solutions Providers – Are You Pinpointed?

I talk to a lot of local, regional hosting solutions providers and “word of mouth” is a common response when I ask “how do you get sales leads?”. So, I thought “let’s go checkout www.pinpoint.com and see if it might help boost providers’ sales leads”.  Pinpoint is Microsoft’s huge sales lead engine built for Microsoft USA hosting solutions partners.

I did a search at www.pinpoint.com and typed in “hosting solutions”. Wham bam! Over 4,900 USA partners came up in the search results. I then narrowed the results down using “small business specialist” and still over 1,600 USA partner company names, profile and contact information came back in the search results.

Look, I’m not saying a Microsoft partner should rely solely on www.pinpoint.com . However, when the economy is tough, you need to at least be looking at all the sales leads generation programs you can. Businesses of all sizes may be interested in hosted solutions such as hosted email, website hosting and web development and many of these businesses want a high-touch, personable relationship to accomplish these hosted solutions.

For Microsoft partners, www.pinpoint.com is no-cost: just create a solution profile. In addition, make sure “hosting solutions” is in your Microsoft partner profile as a business area. If you’re not a Microsoft partner, it is very easy to become a registered partner at https://partner.microsoft.com/
