What’s up PartnerUp?!

WHY do we believe in ecosystems? Is it all confirmation bias?

In all honesty, we’re big fans of believing what we preach, but we’re not trying to delude ourselves. After some deep thought, today we explain WHY we believe in ecosystems.

What is up PartnerUp?

Is it just me or are partnership events gaining more traction than they used to?

Crossbeam's Supernode happened in Philly a couple weeks ago, and a lot happened.

Two honorable mentions: 

• Sara Wang from A16Z announced that VCs are betting big on partnerships
• Crossbeam announced that it acquired Partnered. 

This is a moment, and the more we come together, the more we realize.

That's why it's important to keep up-to-date with what's going on at each. 

Here are a couple of conversations captured during the event as well as Jared's keynote.

What is up PartnerUp?!

What's the future of partner portals? Should we keep them? Should we kill them? Should we come up with a new type of partner portal?

Following a viral LinkedIn post, partner portals became the focus of a live event. Hotly contested, there's still much to be decided. 

Here's the recording of that event.

What's up PartnerUp?!

Lisa Lawson is on to talk about partner management. Starting at Microsoft and finding herself at many startups, she recognized one of the biggest issues is role-based training. There are very few companies that provide role-based training for their employees, and even fewer companies for something as new as partner management.

Partner Managers are at the front line of finding and creating quantifiable value between partners.

A repeatable playbook is what new partner managers need, and Lisa has just that with her course at SaaSy. Get a spot while you can.

What is up PartnerUp!

Today we have on Rob Brewster, CEO of Go Formz, and ex - Twilio, Eloqua, and Salesforce.
To succeed in this business, you need the right mindset, and Rob is a classic example of this.

Beginning as a “food and beverage salesman on a 20% commission structure,” aka a waiter, he stumbled into SaaS and made it a priority to exceed expectations.

You can’t just do what’s expected of you, you have to go above and beyond.

Enjoy!
