Empowering Your Channel Partners - Improving The End Customer Experience

Jun 21, 2021 2:00 PM3:00 PM EST

Event Description

Channel programs have evolved from looking at wholesalers, resellers, and distributors in purely transactional terms to building a strategic partner ecosystem that creates more value for the end-customer.

According to Forrester, the average channel program will grow the number of partners by 10x in five years, and 80% of these new partners will be non-transacting partners such as influencers, advocates, and retention partners.

With investment in a well-designed partner program being so critical, are you empowering your partners with programs that lead to an improved customer experience for the end customer?

Discussion Topics

  • How to embrace a CX mindset to your partner program
  • The importance of understanding your partners' & customers' needs and pain points
  • How to empower your channel partners with the right tools and training
