PartnerHacker Daily #172: Risk and Reward

Jared Fuller -

Every risk is an opportunity

Partnership ecosystems are an opportunity, but they are also a risk.

You have less control and measurability over the funnel and where your customers are coming from. The investments can take time to pay off.

But partnership ecosystems are a more natural way of doing business. They fit seamlessly into your customer's workflows. They payoff bigger over time, and don't run out of steam like direct tactics.

If you integrate into the instinctive flow that your customers want, you create a rich, thriving, ecosystem.

The School of Partnerships

Last week, we teamed up with Firneo to bring you the School of Partnerships: Building, Activating, and Repairing your Program.

It was a half-day educational event where we learned the easy way to create meaningful partnerships.

Speakers included some heavy hitters in the partnership space like Scott Pollack,  Ty Lingley, Noam Cadouri, Katerina Petraki, Will Taylor, Chris Lavoie, and Scott Murtaugh.

You can watch the recordings here.
