OVERVIEW

Description

The solution used a tongue-in-cheek approach to disarm the significant scepticism of the Navision consultants. A courier delivered a standard pizza box to the consultant’s desk. The tagged-on receipt said "Microsoft - Pizza & Software".The idea was to battle one prejudice about Navision and SQL Server with another, about the target group itself, that they are pizza-munching code-crunching geeks.Inside the box: letter & headline: "There are a couple of myths we’d like to dismantle". Very serious, non-designed digest of the full benchmark report. Registration card with the line, "An encounter with prejudice".

Outcome

88 % of all Danish Navision partners were represented at the seminar. About 75% have begun working with SQL Server for Navision.Microsoft hoped that each partner would send 1 or 2 participants, in actual fact each partner sent on average 4 consultants to the seminar. Total participation was 67% above target.
