While developing a channel partner programme takes time and effort, the results can be beneficial to all parties. As a result, 57% of businesses say they use partnerships to bring in new customers. Not all strategic alliances, however, are successful.
To create, maintain, and nurture channel connections, a proactive approach is required. When executed properly, these strategic alliances have the potential to produce significant results.
According to McKinsey & Company, by 2025, an ecosystem of cross-industry partners working together to solve customer problems will account for one-third of all sales. These channel alliances could be very beneficial in terms of increasing sales.
You can considerably expand your consumer base by working with channel partners to market your goods and capitalize on existing customer ties. Without needing to expand your internal sales and marketing staff, the finest channel partnerships can help you scale business.
The appropriate collaborations might speed up the scaling of your company. Just ask the staff at the Zoom video conferencing service. Unprecedented growth was fueled by a referral scheme with channel partners when the epidemic created new sales prospects. The corporation discontinued all direct sales initiatives in some areas and focused only on channel partner relationships.
You must locate, entice, and establish agreements with complementary companies in order to reap the rewards of channel alliances.
A good channel partnership benefits everyone. You increase demand generation as well as lead generation. You can enter new markets and increase the customer base and sales of both partners.
Use best practises when marketing to B2B channel partners to find the best partner for your products. You want to establish a long-term relationship as a solutions partner with the right channel partners.
To do so, you must evaluate everything you offer from the perspective of the channel partner.
1. Do you offer training courses to help with startup and maintenance?
2. What advantages does your business model provide to your partner?
3. What technical assistance do you provide, particularly to small businesses?
Most importantly, how can you develop a turnkey approach that is appealing to a potential partner without adding to their workload? You can increase the channel partner benefit and provide an incentive for them to work with you by acting as a true channel consultant rather than a seller.
When approaching new partners, present your value proposition clearly to demonstrate how your products can help secure new customers and improve customer satisfaction.
Everything you do to choose partners and entice them to join your channel marketing efforts should centre on how simple it is to work with you, what you do to increase partner engagement, and how you can help their business grow.
