PRINCIPLES

PMs wear too many hats to be effective

 

As I was learning about PartnerOps and nearbound data from Kelly Sarabyn (HubSpot), Jill Rowley (nearbound.com), Mary Vue (Syncari), Mike O’Neil (Box), and Elliot Smith (6Sense) in their last HubSpot webinar, I asked myself:

 

Why do Partner Managers still not have a seat at the table? 

 

And then, I remembered a quote from Greg Theriault, Director of Strategic Clients at Alteryx…

 

“Partnerships go too fast and in too many directions. When you slow down and focus, you see the impact. Stop changing directions so much. You must let things evolve for at least a year, including pay structures.” 

 

It’s not that you don’t know how to build relationships and then capitalize on them. The problem is that you are wearing too many hats. This gets in the way of you focusing on one thing.

 

Partner Managers need the right team—PartnerOps—and the right tech so they can delegate some of “their hats,” have the correct automation in place, properly track their value, and drive more revenue.

 

Keep reading to learn how your team can benefit from PartnerOps and nearbound data (with insights from HubSpot, Box, 6sense, Syncari, and Reveal, and the Nearbound book). 

 

 

TACTICS

 

3 reasons you need PartnerOps


You might have RevOps on your GTM team, bringing Sales, Marketing, and Customer Service together to drive revenue growth for your business.

 

But according to Impartner,

 

“PartnerOps focuses on managing and optimizing the day-to-day activities and processes with your partners. It’s about ensuring that each partnership runs smoothly and productively, supporting mutual growth and success.”

 

Here are 3 reasons why you need PartnerOps:

 

1. Become a data-led partnerships team.
PartnerOps helps you leverage your nearbound data, partner tech, nearbound motion, and processes to measure and accelerate revenue.

 

2. Implement a full nearbound overlay.
PartnerOps seamlessly integrates nearbound data into your GTM motion, so your GTM teams can co-sell, co-market, retain, and close deals better, and your C-level can easily see the value of your nearbound strategy.

 

3. Prove partnerships ROI.
If you want to understand where and how your nearbound strategy and partners are impacting everything from the build to the sale to the market opportunity, you need PartnerOps on your team.
