Part 1:

Incentives, Agency Persona Development, Hook and Beta Partner Intro's

We kick off with one-on-one sessions on defining your partner persona's followed by small group (<5) sessions to develop an attractive incentive structure. After that, we'll be ready to make some introductions based on your product, incentives and a co-marketing hook we'll choose together. The last thing we'll do in August is have the first demo's and onboarding calls into any of the SaaS partner accounts you are interested in from the providers.

Part 2:

PRM Infrastructure, Directory Options, and Enablement Content

One-on-one's with Alex to review stack and program scale viability to prepare for stack talks. AMA's and presentations from Bryn, Josh, GJ, Nash, Greg and Sunir on everything from qualification to integrations planning, budgeting and navigating operational mechanics of a partner program.

Finally, we review your program's scope and viability in one-on-one's.

Maddy, Head of Marketing/Sales/Partnerships at Smith.ai

"You're building a new program, and this will literally cut out your first 2 years fumbling around like the rest of us did."

Shruti, Partner Management at Chargebee

"I love the AMA sessions Alex! A ton of insights provided by the agencies. This gives me the confidence to speak to upper management and tell them that agencies need more than just commissions."

Matthew Carnevale, Growth at OneLocal

"I can't express how happy I am that I decided to join the Accelerator. I have gained more clarity on partnerships in this program than I have in my last 3 months. It is night and day. It almost feels like a cheat code. In these last two weeks, I gained the confidence to smash all my partner goals for the rest of the year. And for someone who is only 2 years into their professional career, I know what I am learning here will advance it by many years."
