As a vendor, a Partner Advisory Council will be your company’s secret weapon. Here’s how to create a PAC that drives REAL impact: 1) Start with the end in mind. What do you hope to achieve with your PAC? Define your objectives, be it improving product quality, expanding market reach, or strengthening partner relationships. 2) Select partners who are not only committed and knowledgeable but also represent a broad spectrum of your ecosystem. Their willingness to participate actively is key. 3) Establish a governance structure with defined roles and responsibilities. Include a chairperson to lead discussions and ensure meetings are productive. 4) Whether it’s quarterly or annually, regular meetings are essential. These can be in-person or virtual, tailored to fit the geographic spread of your partners. 5) Consider having a rotating chairperson or an independent facilitator to work through diverse opinions and create constructive dialogue. 6) Share relevant information with council members ahead of time and be open to their feedback. Transparency builds trust and enriches discussions. 7) Listening is just the beginning - Acting on the council’s feedback is crucial. Implement their recommendations to demonstrate their value to your organization. When executed well, a PAC not only aligns with your business goals… But it breathes new life into your partner ecosystem. Vendors, do you currently have a PAC?

In 2023, 51% of sales reps leveraged co-selling with partners to maximize revenue. And that number is only going to grow even further. Here's how you can effectively leverage your co-selling partnerships: 1) Identify the Right Partners. Align with those who complement your market, your strengths, share similar customer bases, and can help you penetrate new markets. 2) Joint Planning. With overlaps identified, collaboratively decide on the strategy for mutual leads. This plan should outline responsibilities, timelines, investments, and KPIs, which ensure both parties are aligned and accountable. 3) Action and Regular Reviews. Implement the plan meticulously and maintain regular communication to adjust strategies as needed. Regular check-ins help strengthen the partnership and catch potential issues early. 4) Measure and Adapt. Continuously measure outcomes against your KPIs. Everyone should be invested in each other's success, ready to adapt and refine strategies for sustained mutual benefit. Co-selling partnerships may not be discussed with a great deal of frequency… But the benefits for both parties can be enormous. Do you currently leverage co-selling?
