ChannelVision Playbook Volume 8

Is the partner willing to make investments to achieve growth and sustain it? To ensure prospects can follow through on their commitment, busi- nesses should have a complete understanding of their partner’s capitalization and current financial position. And, in addition to having the required capital, companies must determine that a partner is willing to invest to achieve and sustain growth. Addressing these questions and finding the right partners can take time, patience and resources — especially since the success of the channel can depend on each answer. Once a pool of partners is selected and trained on the prod- uct, it’s crucial that companies define success, set objectives supported by clear metrics and align business goals and values up front. That way, partners will understand how their performance will be evaluated from the get-go, and the best ones will rise to the challenge. Building out a channel can be de- manding, but finding and teaming up with high-quality channel partners can bring a company to places it’s never been, both in the markets it’s reaching and the revenue it’s raking in. o Wayne Monk is senior vice president of global alliance and channel sales at ASG Technologies.
