FAQ

An Ideal Partner Profile is a representation of what a perfect partner would like like for your channel program. It describes all of the traits, or business attributes, that a company needs to have in order to be successful selling your products/solutions.

PartnerOptimizer is uniquely designed to build you a data-driven Ideal Partner Profile by aggregating and leveraging the data it mines and learns about your best performing partners. 

Using your data-driven Ideal Partner Profile, PartnerOptimizer is able to discover look-alike channel partner prospects, and/or uncover those existing partners who are inactive that you should activate. 

PartnerOptimizer reduces the time it takes for you to discover, research and score partners from months to minutes. 

Partner Discovery is the process of finding new channel partners who have the right business model and expertise to be able to drive new revenues to your company.  Partner identification is the process of researching a channel partner company to better understand its DNA.

Traditional, status-quo methodologies are manual, requiring a lot of time from expensive domain experts, and/or include the purchase of industry contact lists, researching who your competitors partners are, searching manually online, and utilizing general non-domain specific lead identification platforms.

PartnerOptimizer takes partner discovery to new levels of speed and quality.  It leverages your Ideal Partner Profile to identify existing companies in your channel partner program who are likely to be a good partner for a specific product or solution.
