How We Engage

An Operator, Not an Advisor

Most partner programs fail on activation, not strategy. I embed with your team and run the motion until partner revenue is real, measured, and repeatable.

When Companies Call Me

The symptoms that cost you revenue every quarter

01

Partners sign up and go quiet.

The reality: Logos on the partner page, little or no qualified pipeline this quarter.

The revenue fix: Cut the vanity roster and build a milestone-driven activation path for the few partners who actually reach your buyers.

02

Direct sales treats partners as a margin tax.

The reality: Reps keep partners out of deals because rules of engagement are fuzzy and comp is not aligned.

The revenue fix: Clear rules of engagement, aligned comp, and co-sell plays that show reps partnering gets them to quota faster.

03

Partner revenue is invisible.

The reality: Deals are influenced, but attribution lives in spreadsheets. Leadership will not fund what it cannot measure.

The revenue fix: CRM attribution, deal registration, and forecast metrics that stand up to board-level scrutiny.

04

Partnerships is a side project.

The reality: The motion sits on a founder's or CRO's desk with a few hours a week, so momentum stalls.

The revenue fix: Dedicated fractional leadership running the motion against weekly milestones, without a full-time executive hire.

What an Engagement Looks Like

Milestones, not an open-ended discovery phase

01

Weeks 1–3

Operational Audit & Economics

Where revenue is leaking, what your sellers say, and what partner economics really look like. Milestone: a prioritized partner thesis.

02

Weeks 4–8

Program Blueprint & Co-Sell Architecture

Rules of engagement, comp alignment, deal registration, and tiering built around how you sell. Milestone: first joint plays in market.

03

Weeks 9+

Field Activation & Operating Rhythm

Joint pipeline reviews, forecast cadence, and partner business plans in practice. Milestone: partner pipeline your leadership can see and forecast.

Where I Give You an Edge

You should not pay for someone to learn how these ecosystems work

I have built inside them — including years inside the Salesforce ecosystem, where I learned how partner desks, territories, and seller incentives really decide who gets brought into deals. That insider knowledge is what I put to work for you.
