PartnerHacker Daily #256: Find Your Zone of Genius

Use partnerships to do everything better

Living in your zone of genius is about doing things that have amplified effects that help everyone.

The best partnerships layer value on top of value so each activity has outsized leverage. When one of your vendors also becomes a tech partner with whom you do co-marketing and co-selling, and agencies are enabled to implement and support both of your products together for customers - that's an example of layers of leverage.

You know you're in the zone of genius when you're using the same input but getting way more output.


It's time to break down the silos

Your customers don't live in funnels. It only makes sense to structure your partner org horizontally so that you can interact on a human level with your customers.

Last week, Ella Richmond interviewed Allan Adler about the PartnerHacker principle, customers don't live in funnels.

Check out the interview below:

Allan Adler explains why orgs need to operate horizontally.
