  • Addressing customer pain points such as inefficient partner strategy, difficulty retaining partners, lead routing issues, poor data quality affecting partner deals, challenges communicating with partners, complex tech stacks for channel management, difficulty engaging partners effectively, and excessive manual administrative work
  • Driving growth within existing assigned accounts by identifying opportunities to expand the use of PRM, PRM+, and ChRM solutions.
  • Leveraging AI features within the platform to demonstrate value, such as lead scoring and pipeline inspection for partners
