I’m afraid I have some sad news to share with you. Due to recent organizational changes here at Cisco, it is likely that the Cisco Partner Quick Hit Briefing series will end in July. UNLESS YOU CAN HELP ME.

The Cisco Partner Quick Hit Briefing is a special session for Cisco Commercial Territory partners to learn more about Cisco products, programs and promotions. Quick Hit Briefings have been an ongoing weekly WebEx partner briefing event held every Thursday at 9:30 a.m. ET since FY13. To date, we've had over 50,000 partner attendees attend 200+ briefings and have received overwhelmingly positive feedback. The entire series of events is available at: http://cs.co/quickhit/

If you find value in the Cisco Partner Quick Hit Briefing Series, I need to hear from you! I am lobbying to have this series continue in FY18 but I need your help.

Please sign this petition and let me know why you want the Quick Hit Briefing series to continue. I promise to continue delivering valuable information and interesting topics each week!

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for facilitating the Quick Hit Briefings over the past couple years. As an account manager, I am bombarded by training opportunities from Cisco and other vendors and it can be hard to determine which will provide value. I have found the Quick Hit briefings to be clear, concise, relevant, and spot on for my role as a sales person. I have gone back and listened to the recorded links when I have missed briefings on solution updates and have shared links with customers from the CCE series. I appreciate your energy and enthusiasm in providing valuable training week in and week out. I hope to see them continue in 2018.

Say it isn't so. Your Quick Hit Briefing povides great tips on product selling, it also is a great product introduction and refreshing of the existing. I believe it is a great Cisco training tool and would be a shame to shut it down.

One of the best trainings provided by Cisco, please do not get rid of it. I would ask that you figure a way to broaden its scope not remove it. :)

Few things here: first, to cancel a Cisco-led briefing by the person with likely the coolest email alias in the history of aliases would be a terrible mistake. Second, it would rip away a staple occurrence in my work week. But I understand that those reasons won’t necessarily sway the powers-that-be. So I’ll try again. Why it makes sense to keep it around: since I started working in the IT industry, Cisco has always been synonymous with collaboration, with datacenter, with networking. It’s not because your product is good, or that you have an international presence. I mean, sure, those things help, but the real differentiator is that you have faces that sell the brand. Brian, and by that virtue the Quick Hit Briefing, is one such face, one such facet of the brand. These briefings are always entertaining but more than that are invaluable in the content that is delivered. Where you could find any number of briefings that walk you through a mummified reinterpretation of inventing the wheel, the information is accessible, and because of that, deliverable from the partner to the end user. Cisco has a vested interest in continuing to grow an established offering, and getting rid of a one-hour briefing that touches tens of thousands of partners would be an injustice.
