Build a Channel Program
That Actually Produces Revenue

“Most partner programs sign logos. That doesn’t automatically mean they close deals.
I help technology companies to design, build and manage programs that really work
.”

The problem I solve

If your channel is not producing what it should, you are probably not alone.

Most of the people who find this site are dealing with at least one of these:

  • Partners are signed and onboarded, but a handful produce everything and the rest are dormant.
  • Channel revenue is unpredictable. The board has stopped taking the forecast seriously.
  • You are growing, or about to raise funding, and investors want to see a channel that produces predictable revenue.
  • Your direct team and your channel are competing for the same accounts, and it is costing both.
  • You have a partner portal, a tiering model and an MDF budget, but partners still treat you as a last resort.
  • You are entering a new market, and a program that worked in your home region is not translating.

None of these are partner problems. They are program design problems, which means they can be fixed.
