Get Optimised for G-Cloud 9

In partnership with Lindsay Smith from Gcloud Sales we bring you the second part of our best practice guides: GET OPTIMISED. G-Cloud 9 launches next week!

How to get optimised? Our research points to three elements:

• SERVICE DEFINITION: 25% of G-Cloud vendors with zero sales their service definition was a‘fatal flaw’.

• ISO 27001: 60% of successful SMEs were ISO27001 accredited. SMEs with a successful sales record were 50% more likely to be ISO27001 accredited than SMEs with no sales.

• BOXES SUCCESSFUL VENDORS TICK: Of the 60+ attributes that relate to service providers and how they operate (rather than to the functionality of the services they offer), there were 16 which appear to correlate strongly with G-Cloud sales success.

Our actionable best practice guides will get you on your way to selling. We call this The G-Cloud Maturity Model:

1. Get Compliant > 2. Get Optimised > 3. Get Marketing > 4. Get Selling > G-Cloud Success

Hopefully you already read the first part of our G-Cloud best practice guides and are on your way to GETTING COMPLIANT for G-Cloud 9.
