Channel Partner Management Training

Train your team to proactively manage channel relationships to maximize revenue

Define channel partner roles to more effectively manage relationships

For organizations that use indirect channel sales partners for all or part of their revenues, Channel Partner Managers (CPMs) play an essential part of those companies’ success. Unfortunately, in working with our clients, we find that the role of the CPM is often defined too vaguely. Without clear guidance, a CPM will spend too much of their time simply reacting to partner requests, instead of working proactively to develop and maximize channel partner sales results.
