Twelve people have already signed up for the March 10 seminar and will receive both DVDs offered earlier.

But we have a slight problem... Sarah just checked her inventory. Sadly, she only has 12 copies of the “Managing The Partnership DVD” in stock. So the next seven paid registrants will get her one-on-one consultation plus the “Acquiring Capital” DVD, valued at $150.

About The Webinar
Only 30% of CEOs in the technology industry effectively create and use partnerships as a strategic weapon.

Yet software start-ups, as well as established companies find it virtually impossible to win or maintain market dominance without the right partnerships.

Sarah Gerdes — recognized as the country’s leading partner development expert for her work in more than 45 industries across four continents — describes how to identify, create and maintain revenue-producing partnerships, in this online presentation.

"Every company needs to be leveraged," she says. "If you need capital, you're considering distribution channels, or want to expand your sales or marketing reach, you should first turn to existing partners or create new alliances. Software partnerships represent the most cost-effective, leveraged, and powerful approach to growing your company more profitably."

Software company CEOs, VPs of Sales, VPs of Business Development, and Sales Management executives who follow Sarah's partnership guidelines can dramatically:

• Save time and reduce risk;
  

• Help a start-up gain funding;
  

• Set up a company for acquisition;
  

• Gain a strategic investment;
  

• Provide joint development dollars;
  

• Grow sustainable revenue through licensing agreements;
  

• Better position their companies to win mindshare; and
  

• Increase shareholder and investor value.
  

Register today for "Navigating the Partnership Maze: How to Find, Build, and Maintain Industry Alliances that Create Value and Generate Sales" and join Sarah Gerdes on Thursday, March 10, 2005, 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM (PT); Noon - 1:30 PM (ET).

Sarah will provide real-life scenarios for building a software company's value proposition, creating the partnership, and leveraging solutions to complete market penetration and expansion.

During this important Software University class, she will discuss the three partner types you should consider. Plus, she'll teach you about primary areas of interest, desired economic returns, areas of potential technology acquisition, joint development and licensing through industry partnerships.
