Partner marketing often fails

Not because your campaign wasn’t good...

 

But because you swam against the partner marketing stream.

 

Imagine the buyer’s journey as a river:

  • Customer first buys their CRM.
  • Then, their webinar platform generates leads.
  • Finally, a tool to launch post-event feedback surveys.

 

If you are a webinar platform, your survey integration partners won’t send you any new customers.

 

Why?

 

Because by the time a customer floats down into their inbox, they already have a CRM and Webinar platform!

 

Upstream partners talk to your ideal customers before the current pushes them past you.

 

Cast your co-marketing net in the right place. 🎣

 

Shout out to Ben Wright for the river metaphor! 🌊

 

Thanks for contributing to this section of the PhD Franz-Josef Schrepf.

 

Partnering is the ultimate hack

If partnering up is the ultimate hack and greatest cheat code, then is partnering with PartnerHacker full-on godmode 🤔 ?
