What is the role partners can play?

- Your channel account manager and/or channel marketing manager will contact you about how to market and track leads more broadly through digital programs (e.g. email blasts, web forms, etc.).
How does BlueJeans pass the leads to us when a prospect designates us as their preferred partner on the sign up form?

- BlueJeans partners who have licensed Microsoft Teams for the internal use of their own employees may apply for the promo for their own internal IT use.
Are current prospects eligible?
- Yes. You may alert current prospects to the promotion.
Why should I sell this promotion if it’s zero dollar with zero compensation for me?
- The promotion is designed as a lead generation vehicle to help our partners + BlueJeans generate more opportunities for upsell/cross-sell to the fully paid license. If you feel you can generate those opportunities without using the promo, you are free to do so.
Can existing BlueJeans customers add free concurrent licenses to their BlueJeans Gateway for Teams subscription?
- No, this promotion is for first-time BlueJeans customers only.
- Please steer existing BlueJeans customers to a proof of concept (POC) if they are interested in trying the Teams Gateway.
Are there SKUs for this Promotion?
- Yes there are SKUs for the promotion. The SKUs can be found on the Prepaid Billing Tab of the updated Price Book released on July 19.
How do we order the Promo SKUs?
- BJN is in progress of updating the BJN Partner Order Form with the new Promotion SKUs as well as the recently released Starter Kits. The updated Partner Order Form will be available in the next few days.
What is the cost to add One Touch Join to the free concurrent licenses provided?
- One Touch Join requires a fully paid BlueJeans Gateway for Microsoft Teams license. Please use your normal process for assessing what pricing makes sense for your prospect and work with your BlueJeans Channel Account Manager as needed.
What happens if this offer triggers a prospect to want more than the 2 or 5 concurrent connections?
- If the customer wants more concurrent connections than the promotional amount, then you can apply that discount on a quote to them. The quote will be structured as following...
- e.g., if an enterprise >1000 employees wanted 10 concurrent connections, you should build a quote with 2-line items: line item 1 with the 5 free Promo Plan SKU and a second line item for 5 Gateway for Microsoft teams Concurrent Connections SKU at a paid for price.
- Please work with your Channel Account Manager if you have additional questions.
Does this require Deal Registration or provide any other protection?
- Yes. Unless upsold initially, these will be zero-dollar orders, but registering the deal preserves your account ownership. Note there is no margin to be earned on the zero-dollar deals – this is simply an entry point into the account for upsell opportunities.
