Build the internal capability for channel partner incentives rather than depending on external support indefinitely.
Designing Channel Partner Incentive Programmes to Increase Sales
Practical training in channel partner incentives, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
Activity in channel partner incentives is easy to generate and easy to mistake for progress. Discounting solves a problem in this part of marketing and commercial practice today and creates a larger one next quarter. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the wider marketing and commercial practice agenda outperform teams that only plan it. This programme builds channel partner incentives from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Participants apply this strand of marketing and commercial practice to their own commercial team throughout, so the output is directly usable. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of the marketing and commercial practice capability to standardise and which to leave flexible. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for channel partner incentives. Progress on this aspect of marketing and commercial practice is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The final module sets out how progress on this area of marketing and commercial practice will be evidenced six months later.
