PartnerHacker Daily #274: Don't Do Partnerships Like This

I screwed up

I put together an awesome partner recruitment strategy.

And it worked… PERFECTLY.

But zero growth in revenue…

Why?

I just focused on partner recruitment.

But the partners did nothing.

Now I know I also need a Partner Success Plan.

To take them from:
- Recruited
- Enabled
- Revenue
- Self Sufficient

So remember, recruitment is a vanity metric.

Unless you drive success from your partners.

Don’t screw up like I did.

Thanks for contributing to this section of the PhD, Alex Whitford.
