Why Shore Strategy

Most Partner Programs Don't Fail From Lack of Effort

Growth-stage companies are under more pressure than ever to scale revenue fast — and partners are how they'll get there. The board wants the number; the direct motion alone won't carry it.

But most partner programs at this stage fail the same way: overextension. Too many partner types at once. Investment spread thin. Incentives pulling in different directions. Nobody willing to say "this motion — not those four."

Scaling partner revenue isn't about doing more. It's about knowing exactly where to invest, saying no to the rest, and executing with enterprise discipline.

That's what I did for 12+ years inside Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Lumen — building, scaling, and turning around partner programs with real P&L accountability. I now bring that operator judgment to growth companies, embedded 1–2 days a week.

My Approach

The Work That Turns Partner Programs Around

Build the Right Program

Partner tiers, incentive models, and routes-to-market designed for how your business actually sells.

Activate the Revenue Motion

Co-sell playbooks, shared comp, and deal registration that sales actually trusts.

Instrument the Engine

KPIs, scorecards, and operating cadences that turn partner activity into measurable, board-ready revenue.
