Picture this - the traditional transactional business model gradually making way for a dynamic, ecosystem-based SaaS landscape. Intriguing, isn't it? Our guest, Rob Spee, SVP of Channel and Alliances at Beyond Trust, and I delve into this transformative process, revealing the challenges, the necessary shifts in mindset, expectations, and language, and the pivotal role partners play in this transition. Rob's insights, drawn from his extensive experience in the channel world, shed light on the evolution of partnerships and their significance in the SaaS transformation. 

Channel strategy is not simply a buzzword but the backbone of this transformation. This episode uncovers how different partner types - from small resellers and distributors to boutique delivery partners and GSIs- orchestrate to contribute to this shift. We discuss how to streamline this transition for partners, with an emphasis on the customization of their experience based on their specific business models. And it doesn't stop there - we delve into the complexities of formulating unified compensation plans for sales and partner teams. Aligning partner interests with organizational goals and incentivizing right behavior is key, as Rob rightly points out. Trust me, you wouldn't want to miss Rob's valuable insights and experiences! So tune in, and let's navigate the SaaS landscape together.
