Topic summary:
As we know, channel sales is an efficient way to cast a wider net and increase sales – But, did you realize that your channel partner program is also one of the greatest marketing tools you’ll ever have?
Acting as agents on your behalf, channel partners engage in a variety of activities to promote a vendor, and all this additional marketing for your brand can really help build its authority far beyond what you may be capable of independently.
So, what can you do to get the most out of the marketing opportunities from your partnerships and strengthen your brand authority, as much as possible via partners?
Matt discusses how channel partners help build a brand’s authority including:
- What to define in the channel marketing strategy
- Through-partner marketing best practices
- Joint-marketing activities between partners and vendors that produce the highest ROI
- Best practices for enabling your channel partners to build your brand authority
