11. New market entry
Background: Juniper launched our range of switches in 2008. As a new player in a mature
market with many incumbent players such as Cisco, HP, 3Com etc., we needed a strategy
to create awareness, recruit, educate and convert customers and partners with limited
budget to make this new product line a successful business in 2 years’ time.
Strategy: Education, partner marketing and performance
Junos Fast Track program: Free training & certification; worked with Prometric’s network of
schools; whitepaper & ROI tools; cross-over training course
Reach out to our key customers and seed them with units for demo/POC; recruit switching
partners by working with distributors such as Ingram to go after selected competitors’ partners;
Develop switch starter kits to get these partners enabled to sell
Campaign to drive qualified leads with and to partners; incentives for sale of product
Results:
>33,000 Junos certified engineers in 2009
>60 new partners recruited to switch program; Juniper debuted in Gartner Magic Quadrant for
Enterprise LAN in Jun 2010 report
>600 sales accepted leads generated; conversion to close rate at ~25%
12. Achieve incremental revenue
Background: Due to global (over) emphasis on switching, Juniper’s
other product line such as security solutions like firewall and SSL VPN
suffered competition from other vendors that resulted in gradual
eroding market share. Thus, a product focused incentive was initiated
to help counter these actions.
Strategy: Per unit incentive offered to partners who were able to
achieve incremental sale. Incentive was also offered only if the product
discount were not below normal average level as well as sold to non-
named account customers.
Results:
Firewall and SSL product achieved ~15% incremental product volume without affecting
Average Selling Price
Maintained leading market share in firewall and SSL in Q3FY09
13. Achieve partner commitment
Background: To achieve more constant runrate revenue per
partner (instead of erratic sales performance due to project-
based deals), a point system loyalty program was developed
to ensure quarterly average revenue was achieved by
partners which could be used to redeem for training credits,
trips to Juniper partner summits and other gifts for partner
dinner & dance
Strategy: Identify SKU that can qualify as runrate as well as
quarterly average volume unit
Results:
Constant runrate achieved per participating partner
Helped partners to pay for training and expense to partner summit
events
