• BDR gross margin in 2011 = 75.7%– In other words, cost = 24.3% of the selling price– Our most profitable offering

SCC BDR Sales Strategy

1. Understand client needs in their terms

2. Unbundle the offering and build on it

3. Protect the margin (minimum 66% per deal, down to 50% with manager approval)

1. Understand Needs in Their Terms

• Ask clients to explain their expectations• Ask them to quantify tolerable downtime

by key application/function• Ask them to quantify cost-per-hour of

downtime

• Don’t sell BDR features/performance specs; respond to the client’s needs directly!

2. Unbundle and Build

• Own the equipment right away, and have the client pay for it

• Give clients ultimate flexibility• Add periodic services that clients will

pay for – testing, DR drills, reporting



3. Protect Margin

• Start with the end margin in mind• Price based on value• No assumptions about competitive pricing• Avoid all-you-can-eat


Profit Payoff

“BDR is our most profitable managed service offering and eFolder is our key partner to help us deliver a highly reliable and predictably profitable service offering.”Erik Thorsell
