The PartnerAwesome Sourcing Framework
01
Discovery & Strategy Alignment
We start with an in-depth analysis of your business model, markets, and growth goals to define a clear partner strategy. Whether your focus is on resellers, OEMs, ISVs, referral partners, or SIs, alignment ensures every move supports your objectives.
02
Ideal Partner Profile IPP Development
Similar to an ICP (Ideal Customer Profile), your IPP defines the partners most likely to drive mutual success — by geography, customer base, capabilities, and cultural fit.
03
Partner Research & Shortlisting
Using proprietary databases, AI-driven ecosystem mapping, and our global network, we identify and qualify high-potential partner candidates based on credibility, market influence, and synergy.
04
Qualification & Outreach
We execute structured outreach campaigns and due diligence to ensure you connect only with partners aligned for long-term success.
Prefer a hands-on approach? We equip your team with custom messaging and engagement frameworks to execute internally.

Our consultants help you define partnership models, incentives, and KPIs — from affiliate programs to strategic alliances — balancing attractiveness and protection.
