Partner Channel Building

PARTNER-TO-PARTNER CHANNEL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

 

If you want to scale the sales of your software or services, partnering to co-sell or re-sell your solution may be the most effective way to achieve your goals. The challenge most software and services companies have is to find the right partners and present a business case that will compel them to invest in partnering with you.

 

We enable independent software vendors (ISVs) to develop pro-active and self-sufficient partner channels using our proven framework which consists of the following stages:

 

PROSPECT

We develop your ideal partner profile for co-sell and re-sell partnering, use our tools to find the right partners with the expertise, industry knowledge, track record and installed base of clients that would be advantageous to you.

 

RECRUIT

We Develop a compelling business case for partnering. The business case explains the opportunity you bring to partners, what is their potential return on investment, how it will make them more competitive and how to identify the clients they already have for incremental sales. We use personal contacts, the IAMCP community, social media and direct calling to qualify and recruit partners for you.

 

ACTIVATE

We define the roles and responsibilities of both parties in the partnership and ensure understanding of the required commitments. We ask partners to allocate resources to the partnership and set sales and marketing goals. We require partners to commit to sales and product training to become self-sufficient quickly.

 

GROW

For larger partners, we require them to develop a joint GTM that includes sales, marketing and services activities and agreed goals. To ramp up the new partnership, we offer to support partners in running short-term installed base sales campaigns which can be instrumental in building an opportunity pipeline in the first 30 days of the partnership.
