Diversification is King: Why you can no longer be a telecom or cloud exclusive seller

In the not-so-distant past, VARs and system integrators sold software and cloud, and there was a Telephony agent who you went to for your carrier business. Now everyone is becoming a one-stop shop for everything under the sun. Traditional telecom companies are selling the cloud. Cloud providers offer telecom services. Where the lines exist at all, they’re extremely blurry. Some companies think they can remain inside their comfort zones, providing the same services year after year in a changing market, but end users like a one-stop shop, so those who can’t keep up will be left behind.

The reticence of traditional telecom to move into the cloud and vice versa is understandable. Your core competencies are well established. You don’t want to compromise what you do well for the sake of adding to your offering. You might even know the risks in failing to expand, but consider them to be less of a threat than the risks of losing your customer base to those willing to innovate. Make no mistake about it, your customers will eventually move to cloud services and want everything from one provider. Not being there to provide them with what they want is putting your company’s future existence in jeopardy.

Whatever your comfort zone has become, you need to step outside of it. The question is whether you will do this by choice or whether you will be dragged out of it by a changing market. Partnering with BCM One will help you to sell outside of your comfort zone successfully. We can help you to broaden your appeal, strengthening your core competencies with new offerings rather than sacrificing them.
