Visit the SMB Open Renewals Center. This site is full of tools to help you sell Open License renewals effectively, including on-demand training, sales cards, templates, and presentations. THREE TIPS TO DRIVE RENEWALS Renewal conversations are an excellent opportunity to highlight the services and cost advantages your customers will lose if their licenses expire. Start planning 90 days before expiration and make sure you: 1. Prepare your conversations and proposals before your agreements expire. 2. Know the value of renewing. a. Anticipate customer concerns and prepare Software Assurance benefit sales strategies. Access key resources. b. Initiate Software Asset Management conversations to help create opportunities for additional solutions and services. Learn more. 3. Show your customers ways to tailor licensing agreements to fit their unique growth plans, cash flow, and desired levels of support. Sincerely yours, U.S. Microsoft SMB Volume Licensing Renewal Team
