Partner Panel: Pivoting for Success
FortiGate Sizing: Best Practices
Prospecting with Intelligence

2020 was one of those years that could make or break a business. Join us for a peer discussion on what 2020 meant, how the situation impacted their business, and how they pivoted for success in “the new normal”.

This workshop will be run by a Fortinet systems engineer – someone on Zoom and on the phone with partners and customers every day. They’ll run through their own best practices when it comes to sizing a FortiGate – from the questions to ask to the current recommendations.

It’s not if your prospects will need your services, but rather when! Learn how to grow your business by intelligently earning the attention of your target market through a prescriptive approach towards email and phone-based prospecting.  Learn how to leverage CRM applications, contact database sources, and other SaaS applications that will allow you reach out to your prospects on a consistent basis in an effort to earn their business in the future.
