Sourcing new logo accounts is a top priority for every enterprise partnership. Each year companies spend weeks (if not months) preparing for and working with their partners on Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs). Unfortunately, the bulk of those meetings end up being spent identifying which accounts to target. These efforts are often highly manual and very tactical.

Did you have a Rubik’s cube when you were little? I have two big brothers and not one of us could solve it correctly. My middle brother would pop the pieces out and then put them back in, so the cube looked solved. I had a different strategy – peel the stickers off and stick them back on in the places that I wanted. I’d stick a few but mainly just to get one side done.

“ Trust arrives on foot, but leaves on horseback ” – this saying, attributed to Johan Thorbecke, the Dutch politician who played a role in establishing our country’s first constitution in 1848, encapsulates the essence and fragility of trust. Although the quote originates from a different era, where travel methods weren’t the same as those used nowadays, it remains relevant in today’s fast-paced environment.

Over the past few months I’ve had many conversations with executives about their new “PartnerTap Co-sell Programs”. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but my first piece of advice has been “Don’t call it your PartnerTap Co-sell Program”.

A points-based partner program is daunting but the benefits are worth it. If you are looking to engage a wide variety of partner types (consultants, agencies, systems integrators, software vendors, cloud solution providers, managed service providers), consider shifting from a legacy levels-based program (silver, gold, platinum) to a partner program that recognizes and rewards partners for their activities throughout the customer success lifecycle.

A few years ago, I encountered a problem with a dripping water tap. Armed with the necessary tools and a spare rubber, I confidently turned off the main water supply, disassembled the tap, and replaced the worn-out rubber responsible for the incessant dripping. However, much to my surprise, when I turned the main supply back on, the tap started gushing water as if it had a mind of its own!

The latest trend is for ‘soft parenting’, which involves letting kids explore their emotions and make choices based on internal willingness. The kids behind me on the flight to Hong Kong were fully expressing their feelings by climbing over the seats and terrorising the flight attendants. It didn’t help that their parents had checked themselves into business class and left the supervision to airline staff and other passengers back in cattle class.
