Stuck at 50% of your revenue target because your pipeline depends on someone else's priorities? In this episode, I break down the partner program trap and why so many platform consultants stay dependent on AE referrals even when they know it's holding them back. I walk through the exact 12-month transition sequence I use with clients: pick your niche, build pain-point messaging, start direct outreach, and keep partner referrals flowing as cash while you build. If your best leads only show up when an account executive needs to hit their quota, this episode shows you how to take back control of your pipeline.
