There’s a lot of talk about moving from traditional on-premise selling to the as-a-service model. This remains a big challenge for traditional vendors and partners alike. I’ve always thought of this as shifting the sale of technology (software and hardware) from a big upfront sale to a much smaller recurring revenue stream. But as I learned in this conversation with Peter Wolf, founder of Azamba Consulting Group, partners also have a huge opportunity to shift from fixed time and materials service contracts to selling services-as-a-service. Listen to Peter as he shares the challenges and benefits of transforming his CRM services business to the subscription as-a-service model. 

Peter shared some great tips for partners looking to make this transformation. Here are my favorites:

It's easier for a customer to understand my subscription services model when they're buying the software the same way. @CRMWolf

Today's customers are very demanding. If you're not serving them the way they want around their results, they will find someone who can. @CRMWolf

Where all this transformation is coming from is not a desire for vendors or people like myself to shift. It's because the customers are leading us on this journey. @CRMWolf
