1:1 Meeting Claim:

  1. Coordinate the Microsoft/Intel Rep attendance – if you need to arrange, submit a request via the 1:1 Rep Inquiry Form (LINK)
  2. Add the Microsoft/Intel Rep to the call agenda
  3. Ensure the call is with the appropriate contact at your customer’s organization (all Joint Engagement awards – webcasts and 1:1 meetings – are contact specific)
    1. NOTE: Reps can submit claims for 1 contact per purchasing department. (i.e. If you submit your first claim with Jane Bell, at The Source, you are eligible for 2 more claims with this customer (a total of 3 per half). If you submit a subsequent claim with Veronique Cho at The Source, this would be denied, unless there is a manager’s confirmation of Multiple Purchasing Departments for The Source.
  4. Schedule the call within the program period dates (August 1 – October 31).
  5. After the call has taken place, create a claim on Triple Blitz (link site/form), outlining the following: date, customer name + account, MS/Intel rep on the call, topic discussed.
  6. SUBMIT!
    1. Once submitted, the Microsoft/Intel Representative will validate the claim
    2. When this validation is received, your claim is approved and points are awarded
