Partner Management: Level up!
On June 30th we gathered with about 40 Partner Managers and commercial leaders of enterprise software companies, all in the portfolio of Main Capital, to learn from Christof Majer how to bring Partner Sales Management to the next level. Majer:
“The scalability of software companies, especially if they deliver cloud-based SaaS solutions, is utilized the most if companies are able to sell and implement solutions via partners. More than ever, managing the full ecosystem is what drives value for software companies today.”
During the full day Masterclass, Majer touched on topics like partner recruitment, partner portfolio management and skillsets of successful partner managers within software companies. Next to relevant frameworks, the group was equipped with a practical toolkit that can be applied in order to execute Partner Management at an operational level.
Philip van Leeuwen, one of the participants and Channel Business Development director at HRtech company Textkernel, reflects on the day:
“The masterclass for me was really helpful. I didn’t only hear new structures and practical tools that I can use to optimize the way how Textkernel works with partners, but above all I met many industry leaders working in the same field as I do. This network is of great value to me.”
Bram Kaashoek, Managing Director of the Performance Excellence practice of Main Capital, who organized the Masterclass together with Majer comments:
“At Main Capital we believe in the power of community building and knowledge sharing across our portfolio. We recognize Partner Management as one of the critical value drivers of topline growth and we work on this topic with portfolio companies a lot. Bringing the best Partner Managers and Sales leaders in our portfolio together in a workshop like this, really accelerates cross-portfolio learning.”
