WHY PENULTIMATE
In track and field jumps, the penultimate (second to final) step is crucial for setting up for a successful launch and an optimized jump. Similarly, Penultimate Channel Marketing helps companies get setup for launching successful partner marketing initiatives.
OUTSOURCE YOUR PARTNER MARKETING
In many technology companies, partner marketing gets pushed down the to-do list. If you find yourself in need of a little inspiration or help with one-off projects, we can help as an outsourced partner marketing resource.
MAXIMIZE YOUR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENT
Technology is a great way to help expand and enhance channel relationships. Investing in a PRM or a Partner Marketing Automation tool is a great first step, however getting it optimized for channel use can be exhausting. Let us help manage the project, alleviate the stress, and get you off and running.
EXPAND YOUR CHANNEL PRESENCE
Looking to reach new VARs and implementation partners? We can help prep partner recruitment documents, develop scalable partner marketing plans, and setup implementation partner marketplace listings.
