Speaker: Liz Sara, Managing Director, Best Marketing
Your product is launched! You've landed those initial clients one at a time! Now, how do you speed that up and gain some real market traction fast? Channel partners can get you there. At the same time, there are plenty of potholes on the road to developing and solidifying partner relationships that actually produce.
In this workshop, you'll hear about the best practice approaches to identifying the optimal partners if you are considering such a go-to-market strategy. You'll learn what partners want and what some of their red flags will be during your discussions. You'll hear some tips on how to get the ideal partners to come after YOUR company, rather than the other way around!

--present the opportunity to the partner to really get their attention and buy-in
