PartnerHacker Daily #255: Godmode Enabled

Do it the easy way or the right way

Partnering gives you an unfair advantage — a cheat code.

Partners help you leverage an entire ecosystem. Why would you sell one-to-one when you can sell one-to-many and many-to-one?

You can surround your customer with additional nodes of trust across the entire journey.

Yes, it's harder. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. You do it not because it's easy, but because it is powerful.

Customers want you to surround them with influence outside of your org. They want integrations, service partners, and multiple ways to discover and buy your product.

Are you content to try to change their desired behavior and shove them down your wholly-owned funnel? (The market isn't typically kind to this approach).

In 2023, partner up to turn on godmode.
