The only churning we do around here...is butter. Plus this week's partner pod episodes.
Churn butter, not customers
We’ve got a major problem in B2B SaaS right now.
It’s a trust attrition problem.
Partner programs are built on trust.
The partner leader gains trust on behalf of the company.
The company doesn’t bestow trust unto the PAM or magically gain it from a partner.
It’s a relationship, through and through.
Trust attrition is creating a relationship deficiency between companies and their most valuable partners.
And if retention is the new acquisition, then relationship retention must be a strategic intention.
The next time you think about cutting your partner program, think about the trust attrition that could follow.
Thanks for contributing to this section of the PhD, Jason Yarborough.
