Launch Your Partner Program
Partner Awesome’s Launch Program is your 90-day roadmap to a thriving partner ecosystem. Whether you’re starting from scratch or scaling your first partner initiative, we handle the strategy, technology, and partner recruitment so you can focus on growth.
The 4-Phase Launch Process
1 Discovery
We dive deep into your business, competitive landscape, and partner needs. Through strategic sessions, we identify your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), understand your go-to-market strategy, and define what success looks like for your program.
2 Strategy
Based on our discovery findings, we craft a comprehensive partner strategy document. This includes program structure, partner tiers, commission models, success metrics, and a detailed recruitment roadmap to get your first 10-25 partners.
3 Build
We implement your partner program infrastructure. This includes setting up your PRM platform, creating partner portals, developing onboarding materials, and establishing processes for partner enablement and support.
4 Launch
We execute the partner recruitment plan and manage the recruitment process. Your first cohort of partners are identified, onboarded, and enabled for success, giving your program momentum from day one.
