The Power of Partnerships: Scaling B2B Tech with Partner Marketing

October 18, 2025

Partnerships create leverage—access to distribution, credibility, and product value you can't build alone.

Partner types

  • Channel and resellers
  • Integration/tech partners
  • Affiliates and ambassadors
  • Strategic alliances

The five-step motion

  1. Ideal partner profile (IPP)
  2. Co-value narrative and incentives
  3. Lightweight legal and revshare
  4. Enablement: co-branded assets and demo environment
  5. Quarterly business reviews and pipeline hygiene

Metrics that matter

Sourced and influenced pipeline, win rate, time-to-first-deal, attach rate for integrations.

Partner marketing works when it's treated like a product: clear ICP, compelling value, and operational excellence.
