The opportunity hiding in plain sight
"How many of your customers are running Azure DevOps right now?"
If your answer is "I don't know," you're leaving real money on the table — not theoretical pipeline, but approved budget your customers are already spending on workarounds.
Every ADO customer in a regulated industry is paying 3–5 full-time staff to maintain requirements in Word and Excel, rebuild traceability matrices by hand, and scramble through audit prep. That spend could be flowing through you.
This playbook shows you how to find it, qualify it, and close it — in 90 days.
What's Inside
Seven sections. One real plan for next quarter.
Not a product brochure — a working playbook you can run the same afternoon you download it.
02 Have the conversation
Scripts that surface pain fast
Word-for-word outreach email, seven discovery questions that surface pain in 20 minutes, and handlers for all six objections you'll hear.
03 Run your own math
The economics calculator
Activity-based compensation up to 28%, a 2–3× services multiplier, and multi-year prepaid deal math — with a plug-in-your-numbers worksheet.
04 Execute in 90 days
The week-by-week plan
From signed agreement to first closed deal, benchmarked against what successful partners actually do.
05 Make the case
The business-case builder
A ready-to-send ROI one-pager that frames the cost of the status quo in your customer's own numbers — so the budget conversation is easy.
06 Know how you get paid
The partner economics map
Margin tiers, marketing development funds, and co-sell incentives laid out plainly, so you know exactly what every closed deal is worth to you.
07 Make it repeatable
The scale-it system
Turn one win into a motion you run across your whole book — templates, hand-off checklists, and the metrics to track quarter over quarter.
Why Now
2026 is a compliance tidal wave. Your customers are already feeling it.
If your customers ship software in a regulated industry, they have an audit deadline they cannot miss — and a budget already approved to meet it. The partner who shows up first wins the deal. The playbook shows you how to be that partner.

Questions
Before you download.
Microsoft VARs, System Integrators, Technology Solutions Distributors, and MSPs — any partner with existing customers running Azure DevOps.
No. It's a working playbook: a scoring worksheet, discovery scripts, objection handlers, an economics calculator, and a week-by-week 90-day plan.

Partners who follow the plan typically have 1–2 closed deals and 3–5 active opportunities by Day 90.
The revenue is already in your book.
You just have to go find it. The playbook shows you how.
