‘Start Here’ for Lifecycle Practice optimization

Every business is looking to grow, but how they accomplish that, and differentiate themselves against competitors, depends on the journey that they create for their customers. While there is no good or bad, there certainly is better and best. With the newly launched Lifecycle Practice Journey, we will help you achieve the latter!

For Cisco partners who want to become a better version of themself, build and optimize their practice, and earn higher customer loyalty, Cisco has the Cisco Lifecycle Model. This model is based on the industry standard Land, Adopt, Expand, Renew (LAER) approach. It goes a layer deeper though and details the 15 unique touchpoints throughout the customer lifecycle. It is thoughtfully designed to drive customers to business outcomes faster. Each stage throughout the journey comes with various tools, programs, and processes to drive customer success. At the core of this model are the people involved that hold distinct roles and responsibilities to move the customer from stage 1: Need, to Use, all the way to the final stages of Renew through Accelerate into the next opportunity.

To cut through complexity and reduce time spent to find the information you need, we have launched the Lifecycle Practice Journey on Cisco Partner Journeys. At Cisco Partner Summit we announced the availability of this new end-to-end digital experience that enables and equips Cisco partners throughout their Lifecycle transformation.
