Partner Channel Marketing: What It Is and How It Works

Short answer Short answer: Partner channel marketing is marketing you run with and through your partners to reach their customers, instead of only marketing direct to your own.

Channel Marketing Best Practices That Actually Work

Short answer Short answer: The channel marketing best practices that hold up are the ones that tie every joint activity to attributable pipeline: a real joint value proposition, funds tied to outcomes, plays that fit the partner’s audience, agreed lead routing, and attribution that shows what produced. They work because they treat channel marketing as […]

Partner Marketing Program: What It Is and How It Works

Short answer Short answer: A partner marketing program is the structured way you plan, fund, and run demand generation together with your partners so both companies create pipeline neither would create alone.

Co-Sell Alignment Specialist Role: Where It Sits

What is the co-sell alignment specialist role?

Co-Sell Best Practices: 9 That Actually Produce

What are co-sell best practices? Short answer: Co-sell best practices are the operating habits that consistently turn a signed partnership into joint pipeline. They are mechanics, not attitudes: a fixed deal-review cadence, clean overlap data, named roles, and attribution set before the first joint call. The phrase gets misused. Most lists of co-sell best practices […]

Co-Sell Enablement: What to Ship and When

What is co-sell enablement? Short answer: Co-sell enablement is the asset and training layer that equips a partner’s sellers to carry a joint pitch into a customer conversation.

Co-Sell in Financial Services: What Works

What is co-sell in financial services? Short answer: Co-sell in financial services is the joint selling motion run into banks, insurers, and asset managers, where vendor risk reviews, procurement gates, and regulatory constraints shape every step.

Co-Sell KPIs: The Scorecard That Defends Budget

What are co-sell KPIs? Short answer: Co-sell KPIs are the small set of headline numbers a partnerships leader commits to and is reviewed against: producing-partner rate, partner-sourced pipeline, partner-influenced revenue, and joint-deal cycle time. They are the scorecard, not the instrument panel, and they exist to answer one question from finance: is co-sell worth the […]

Co-Sell Metrics: Leading and Lagging Signals

What are co-sell metrics? Short answer: Co-sell metrics are the full set of measurements that show whether a joint selling motion is healthy, spanning leading signals that predict outcomes and lagging signals that confirm them. They are the instrument panel for a co-sell program, the layer beneath the headline scorecard. Co-sell metrics and co-sell KPIs […]

Co-Sell Motion: The Five-Part Operating Model

What is a co-sell motion? Short answer: A co-sell motion is the repeatable operating model two companies use to find, work, and win deals together.

Co-Sell Plan Template: A Field-Ready Structure

What is a co-sell plan template? Short answer: A co-sell plan template is a reusable structure two companies fill in to define how they will find, work, and win deals together. It replaces the vague intent of a signed partnership with named accounts, named owners, and a cadence, so the partnership has an operating plan […]

Co-Sell Platform: What It Is and How to Choose

What is a co-sell platform? Short answer: A co-sell platform is the software two companies use to find shared accounts, register joint opportunities, and track the pipeline they build together.

Co-Sell Playbook: The Repeatable Deal Structure

What is a co-sell playbook? Short answer: A co-sell playbook is the repeatable structure two companies follow to take a joint deal from a shared account to a closed win. It defines the stages, the moves at each stage, and the owner of each move, so every joint deal runs the same way instead of […]
