Compare Your Organization Against Sales Channel Benchmarks
Use Industry Market Data to Improve Your Partner Engagement & Growth Strategies
A critical step in building a successful channel engagement program is defining your strategy and aligning it with broader commercial organization goals.
For many top leaders, this conversation begins with data and market insights, asking questions that include:
- What inputs are you using to identify your target markets, set financial objectives and create engagement strategies for working with channel partners?
- What is your organization’s ideal mix of direct and indirect sales, and what segments are best suited to an indirect sales approach?
Alexander Group’s Sales Channel Benchmarking leverages contemporary, industry-specific market data and best practices on key topics, including growth, margin, structure, cost and ROI, to help companies develop and improve their partner models.
Optimize Your Partner Strategy for Growth
Leading companies use channel partners for customer engagement to enable sustainable, differentiated growth in key markets. More specifically, channel engagement strategies offer access to diverse geographic and customer markets, helping leaders stay close to the market as buying patterns and value drivers change.
Channel partner relationships simplify the buying process for many customers since the partner is a single point of contact from the initial discovery stage and throughout the sales and service process. Creating and maintaining strong partner relationships is essential to a commercial Marketing, Sales and Service strategy.
Expanding channel sales investment returns requires a diligent, hands-on approach, but it pays dividends in the value gained from investing in the right partnerships. A well-executed channel sales program can extend market reach, add critical expertise to the sales organization and help you meet your revenue growth goals.
