Thanks for contributing to this section of the PhD, Bernhard Friedrichs.
Chaos in the PartnerUp pod
An ecosystem, by its very nature, is chaotic. Is some chaos necessary for success?
Jared and Isaac dive into the benefits of more organization and the strategic necessity of lack of organization.
They discuss who in their partnership leans higher on the “chaos toleration barometer” and how that’s affected the business they’ve built together.
Listen to episode 111 of PartnerUp as Jared and Isaac talk about first principles.
Treat your partners right
If you don’t treat your partners right – they’ll find someone else who will.
Cory Snyder enhanced Sendoso’s partner program in just 5 months, finally making good on all the promises they’d made.
For anyone looking to do the same, he gave (3) pieces of advice:
1) Leverage your network.
2) Lean into your CX teams – Your CX teams know a TON about your customers. Ultimately, your program should be solving a pain point for someone in the organization.
3) Ask a crap ton of questions.
Sometimes you meet someone who impresses you beyond words. Cory Snyder is one of those people.
