Grow Partnerships
The work this situation takes, including the parts that are easy to miss. Start with any one.
Partner-sourced vs influenced revenue and lift
Counts and won-revenue split partner-sourced / influenced / no-partner, with the comparative lift (close rate, deal size, days-to-close) of partner deals vs the rest.
Integration adoption rate with a build-next ranking
Per-integration adoption rate over the overlapping base it can actually serve, health-flagged, plus a build-next ranking by addressable market.
Best co-selling rep pairs with a partner
The short ranked list of your-rep-to-partner-rep pairs who share the most open accounts, so you set up the few high-yield co-selling calls.
Partner prioritization matrix
Every partner placed on the SOM-by-value 2x2 with a next-best-action per quadrant, so your time goes to the highest-leverage partners.
Account-overlap matrix with a partner
A 3x3 overlap matrix showing how many accounts intersect across each funnel-stage pairing with a partner, with totals and the biggest cell flagged.
Prospect purchase-readiness register on budget and impending event
I get a structured readiness register: for each prospect already in the Revenue Zone, whether they clear the budget gate and have a named impending event, and a derived purchase-ready verdict that requires both, so reps stop forecasting deals with no trigger.
Understandings, beliefs, and readiness gates for a Revenue Zone
I get a structured definition of my Revenue Zone for one product: exactly three understandings and three beliefs (each mapped to demand or trust) plus the budget and impending-event readiness questions, so my team and partners share one bar for 'ready to buy'.
Revenue Zone Matrix prospect classification grid
I get a structured grid that plots each of my prospects on demand (awareness/interest/demand) and trust (know/like/trust) and derives which of the three zones they sit in, with no prospect left unplaced.
Scored brickyard inventory of demand-and-trust touchpoints
I get a structured brickyard: every touchpoint sorted into the five areas (online presence, content, offerings, customers/partners/influencers, internal team) and rated on three fixed dimensions, ready to assemble into a journey.
Partner contribution map of bricks supplied to the buyer journey
I get a structured map of which bricks each partner (reseller, distributor, agency) contributes to my Yellow Brick Road, tied to specific milestones, so I can see where the partner ecosystem strengthens or leaves gaps in the journey.
Five-milestone Yellow Brick Road journey of ordered bricks
I get a complete buyer-journey roadmap: five milestones in order, each backed by exactly five bricks in a numbered journey sequence (1 through 25), assembled from a brickyard I provide.
Online-presence audit for demand, trust, and journey impact
I get a structured audit of my online presence: each page or surface across the four categories rated on create-demand, build-trust, and potential-impact using fixed enums, with negatives flagged so I know what is hurting the journey.
V3 post-sale revenue-expansion plan per customer
I get a structured post-sale expansion plan for each new customer: concrete velocity/value/validation actions, expansion opportunities tagged by the three types, and a defined ambassador path, so revenue expansion is planned not left to chance.
Time-boxed V3 onboarding velocity plan with day offsets
I get a structured onboarding plan that turns the V3 'velocity' principle into a dated sequence: each step has a day-offset from signature, an owner, and the V3 component it serves, with the first-value step guaranteed to fall within my target window.
