Over the past couple of decades, two major channel management automation platforms have attracted widespread attention: partner relationship management (PRM) automation and partner marketing management (PMM) automation. However, the most important area in channel automation—an area that has been neglected and remains a major opportunity—is partner sales enablement or partner sales management.
Looking to scale something up? Depending on how you're going after your market/ acquiring users, you may need to build a sales organization that's optimized for a top-down or bottom-up sales process (or perhaps both).

Because selling to enterprises is a lot like getting a bill passed through Congress: it can get stuck. And getting stuck -- or going down the wrong path -- can mean death to startups in a competitive market. Here's how to avoid that.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

How to Hire and Compensate Your Customer Success Management TeamGainsight
The most successful Enterprise SaaS companies know that growing revenue only through new customer acquisition is the less efficient way to scale. Rather, they understand that growing revenue within your existing customer base - through up-sells, cross-sells, and expanded use - is the most profitable way to scale.
In fact, Enterprise SaaS companies that grow revenue - and company valuation - by expanding revenue within their existing customer base also know the key to making this work is to focus on - and operationalize - Customer Success.
This presentation - How to Hire and Compensate Your Customer Success Management Team - is from Pulse 2014, the biggest Customer Success industry event ever and included panelists from BllueJeans Network, Zendesk, Demandbase, SAP

The Secrets to Becoming Channel Ready for Exponential Scale with Cloudblue an...saastr
Nicolette Lopes, Manager of Channel Partnerships @ PartnerStack
Devina Yadav-Baker, Global Head Solution Architecture - Strategy and Operations @ Cloudblue
In this session, learn why opening new revenue channels is key to your go-to-market strategy and success, in the age of ecosystems. We will discuss industry trends and help you develop a playbook that will set you up for success with indirect channels to drive substantial growth in B2B SaaS.
Similar to SaaS Channel Strategy: Is Success Possible? (20)
Sure, you have a partner portal. Your channel partners have an online resource they can visit 24/7 to consume content. Partner portal — check! Not so fast. Simply maintaining an online portal for partners isn't enough. Much like the way healthy food is needed to fuel an active body, the content you serve your partners must be hearty, relevant, and timely so it will help you and your partners achieve your goals.
In this 30-minute webinar co-presented with MarketBridge, you'll learn how to use data to fuel your partner portal with the perfect blend of awareness, consideration, and decision-stage content that will both satisfy your partners and keep them coming back for more.
Bringing Collaboration Back Into Your Channel Sales EcosystemAllbound, Inc.
There is one word in the English language that so simply, elegantly and accurately describes the essence of indirect (or partner, or channel) sales alliances, and that’s collaboration. Collaboration is a process that involves multiple people or organizations working together to realize a shared goal. Collaboration is the cornerstone of any successful partnership, and yet in modern sales ecosystems, it often falls to the wayside, despite our best intentions.
Join Allbound's Jen Spencer and Lucas Gerler for this 30-minute, fast-paced, highly tactical webinar to learn how to bring collaboration back into your channel sales ecosystem and start better engaging with and empowering your channel partners.
2016’s Hottest Sales & Marketing Predictions for the Channel Allbound, Inc.
Every year, the brightest minds in sales and marketing predict the trends that will flourish over the course of the next 12-18 months.
2013 was the year of “real-time” marketing and the fading out of “campaigns."
In 2014, sales leaders predicted that the tide would change from “always be selling” to “always be coaching … delighting … transparent … helping.”
And 2015 was all about mobile — mobile search, mobile optimization, mobile conversions, and mobile ubiquity.
While these sales and marketing insights are extremely valuable, as channel sales and marketing leaders you know that the business operations of supporting, growing and championing a channel can add another layer of complexity to the sales and marketing initiatives that exist within your organization.
In this 30-minute webinar, the Allbound team explores some of 2016’s hottest sales and marketing predictions and translate what these predictions mean to your channel ecosystem.
The Loyalty Effect states that “Making loyalists out of 5% of customers would lead, on average, to an increased profit per customer of between 25% and 100%.
If such a small improvement in customer evangelism can so greatly impact your business, imagine how valuable the loyalty of your partners — your resellers, distributors and agents — could be.
Being that most channel partners are supplier-agnostic, you, the supplier, must strive to foster partner loyalty to nurture and grow both your partners and your common customer base.
In this 30-minute webinar, you’ll learn how to build brand loyalty with your partners through transparency, trust, and true collaboration.
Cut CAC, Raise Retention, and Supercharge Sales with Channel PartnersAllbound, Inc.
With more than 70% of all products worldwide sold through indirect sales channels, it's only a matter of time before most businesses turn to partners & resellers to help them grow faster.
Today, some of the world's fastest-growing SaaS companies have achieved success by focusing on a partner strategy early.
In this webinar, you'll learn how companies of all shapes and sizes can build cost-effective, content-driven channel programs to turbocharge their growth.
Rallying Your Sales Channel Around Today’s CustomerAllbound, Inc.
Research firm Gartner predicts that by 2020, customers will manage 85% of their interaction with the enterprise without interacting with a human.
Now, if you’ve built your business by hiring as many sales people to make as many cold calls as possible, this is a very scary statistic. Moreover, if like most enterprises you’ve grown your business by onboarding a large team of value added resellers, distributors, brokers or agents who are also relying on the old-school “tried and true” approach of throwing as many bodies as possible into a sales territory, then you must be downright frightened.
Today’s B2B customer expects more.
She’s done her research. She’s identified her problem, considered some options for a solution, and is now shopping for her preferred vendor (that’s you). And, when she chooses to interact with your company, over half the time she’s unfulfilled.
Why? Because according to IDC, nearly 57% of B2B prospects feel that their sales teams are not prepared for their very first meeting.
In this 30-minute webinar, Allbound will take you along the new customer journey (which, does not end at point of purchase), and share how to empower your channel teams with the knowledge they need to best meet the needs of today’s customers.
30-Minute Webinar Aligning Your Company Around a Culture of Channel Partner ...Allbound, Inc.
Channels by nature are geographically dispersed, and are therefore inherently virtual, meaning technology is mission critical to driving performance. Yet for far too long, channel technology such as legacy “PRM” systems and stitched together portals have focused almost solely on the management and control of partners – a method that, in today’s realtime, knowledge driven economy puts everyone, including your customers, at risk.
In this 30 -minute webinar with Allbound CEO Scott Salkin, you’ll learn how businesses are using technology and the cloud to transform their channel ecosystems into a model of collaboration and empowerment, injecting purpose and engagement into partner relationships, and building a channelwide culture of customer success for both manufacturers and their resellers.
Why Sales Reps Aren’t Using Your Channel Management SoftwareAllbound, Inc.
We hear it all the time. The sighs of exasperated channel account managers and channel marketing managers who toil away implementing and maintaining legacy PRM systems that are rarely, if ever, actually used by their partners’ sales reps. We understand. The channel can be a messy place with so many moving pieces, from marketing content to training materials, deal registration to campaign management. Suddenly the software you’ve built to solve your channel management problems is only causing you more headaches when sales reps can’t find the tools, training and resources they need to do what they have been hired to do — close business.
In this 30-minute webinar from Allbound, your partner sales acceleration specialists will share the impact thoughtful, relevant user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) can have on your indirect sales channel by boosting adoption, improving engagement and driving more sales for your company.

According to the 2015 B2B Content Marketing Report, 9 out of 10 marketers have a content marketing strategy. And with content-driven tactics saving an average of 13% in overall cost-per-lead, it’s no surprise that in 2015, 70% of marketing teams are producing and spending more on content than ever...
Meanwhile, direct sales teams have bought in, closing more and more business with these content-generated (and qualified) leads. But can content marketing work in an indirect sales environment?
It sure can.
Join us on Wednesday, September 23, 2015 at 10 am Pacific for a 30-minute webinar where you’ll learn how to apply your content marketing strategies to your indirect sales channels.
We've become obsessed with customer success in business today. We aim to delight customers with support and service - at great effort and cost. But does any of it really work? Let's unpack the myths and truths of Customer Loyalty and talk about the realities in your channel sales organization.
Fifteen-Must Know B2B Sales and Marketing Tools for 2015Allbound, Inc.
About the list…
It drives me crazy to hear so called “gurus” complain of business-to-business (b2b) sales and marketing being too vanilla or conformist. It simply isn’t true.
In fact, it’s the on-the-fly strategy and flurry of tactics that drive so many of us towards b2b…and keep us here.
But what I truly love most about b2b sales and marketing is the ongoing innovation and problem solving in places like San Francisco and Silicon Valley, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Boulder and Portland.
Walk into a coffee shop in any of these cities, and you’ll surely find a determined team of entrepreneurs “growth hacking” a new tool or platform to help make us more efficient and effective at our jobs.
Splitting my time between San Francisco and Phoenix, I get to learn about and demo quite a few of these products. And in the spirit of the new year, here are fifteen of my favorites that I encourage you to seriously consider adding to your arsenal in 2015.
And I’d love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to tweet me at @ScottSalkin or email ssalkin@allbound.com.

2. SaaS Channel Strategy: Is Success Possible?
There’s lot of talk around channel strategy
for SaaS and cloud business models, but
one thing is certain:
Traditional channel models and their old-
school, complex frameworks are too clumsy
and expensive for selling SaaS.
When SaaS models embrace several
characteristics, channel success is possible.

Use the Cloud to Sell Cloud
• Cloud is (or should be) your #1 tool
to execute and collaborate quickly
and efficiently.
• With collaboration embedded in
partner systems/processes,
communication and content is up-to-
date, easy to find and digest, and
shareable with everyone involved.
4. • Growth requires a channel strategy
that accelerates sales and agility
while lowering costs.
• Net new revenue is important, but
customer success that reduces
churn will ultimately drive growth.
• With the right tools, knowledge, and
partners, your channel strategy will
ensure efficient, long-term growth.

Cherish Existing Customers
• In the SaaS economy, growing a
successful partner program isn’t just
about new leads; it’s about working
together to maintain customer
relationships.
• As companies mature, the ability to
draw more from existing customers
and rely less on new customers is
crucial.
