The level of enablement required depends on your partner typeA referral partner needs a wildly different enablement strategy than an ISV. Knowing that, work back from the outcome you’re looking to deliver. 3. Co-process and blending enablement with marketing plans can drive better conversion and faster successInstead of teaching how to sell a product, go and sell it together with your partner.
