Are You On Track to be a 2013 Microsoft Dynamics President's Club or Inner Circle Partner?

As the United States lead for Microsoft Dynamics partner recognition programs, I want to provide a quick commentary regarding some of the items to double-check to ensure you are on track for FY13 President’s Club or Inner Circle inclusion.

While the primary focus for achievement in these well-regarded programs is on both revenue and growth performance, you should not lose sight of the prerequisites in place for the programs.

To qualify for 2013 President’s Club for Microsoft Dynamics, selling partners must:

Prerequisites

· Have an active Microsoft Dynamics Service Plan. If your current plan lapses before the end of FY13, it will need to be renewed prior to Microsoft fiscal year end.

· Have an active Silver/Gold Enterprise Resource Management or Customer Relationship Management Competency in the Microsoft Partner Network. Be sure your MPN ID is assigned to each of your accounts in VOICE (parent and child locations). I’ve also noticed some partners having an ID listed, but it is the incorrect number. Please take time to valid the correct ID is listed in VOICE.

Sales and Growth Performance Requirements

· Achieve minimum total FY13 ERP and CRM direct recognition revenue or customer add levels.

· Achieve minimum license revenue growth requirements. The growth percentage required for license revenue varies based on the partner’s total FY13 ERP and CRM direct recognition revenue which includes license, enhancement and other revenue.

Good luck!!
