Partner collaboration doesn’t fail because partners aren’t willing—it fails because internal teams aren’t aligned. In this episode of Never GTM Alone, veteran partner marketing leaders Christine White and Angela Heenan break down what it actually takes to build collaboration that scales, inside the company and across the ecosystem.

They unpack why internal collaboration with sales, ops, and content teams is often harder than working with partners—and why it’s the foundation for external success. From leading without authority to setting clear cadences, accountability, and expectations, this conversation moves beyond theory into real, repeatable execution.

Listeners will learn how to assess partner maturity, run collaboration like a program (not a one-off), and create trust-driven relationships that drive pipeline, ROI, and long-term impact. This episode is a practical guide for partner marketers who need collaboration to move faster, prove value, and scale without burning out.
