NEED OF A PARTNER PROGRAMME
Partner programs are effective business strategies that help the business to grow its sales footprint and diversify the users network. Partner programmes bring in the revenue, and can be an important link between vendors and customers. Similar to a company’s advisors or collaborators, partners can be crucial to the overall success of a business. Their impact on sales, market share, innovation, and even brand recognition can be enormous.

MAIN CONCERNS TO ADDRESS
While considering a partner programme, we have to take into account what we are offering to our partners, in terms of resources and benefits. It has to have technical training as well as sales enablement, incentives and discounts, marketing assets etc. At times, the programme may also include benefits such as sales and technical support, IP Co-Sell , Solution Show Case, POC credits, Access to a dedicated partner account manager and joint business planning sessions for the partners.
