By participating this workshop, you will learn from best practices and case studies how our clients have successfully expanded their businesses through partnering. A partner channel can help software companies to expand market reach, increase opportunities, sell more software and services, tap into the global economy, and build an international brand – if it works, otherwise it can be an under-performing drain on time and resources.

WORKSHOP TOPICS:

• identify markets for best success
• determine the best business model – direct or indirect
• recruit the right reselling partners
• manage partners for mutual success
• assess your partnering readiness

This one day workshop will include practical exercises which will enable you to apply best practices to your partner channel building efforts immediately. After the workshop you will be able to develop:

• a partner geographical coverage map
• an ideal partner profile
• a partner return on investment model
• partner value propositions
• a tiered discount structure
• a joint business plan
