Matt Smallwood (Gusto)
Hey Andy! It’s been a long time. I hope all is well! A partnership could be interesting but probably not the right time for it yet. simple_smile
Manoj Ranaweera
where about in SF are you? We are looking for companies to visit on 30th April.
Matt Smallwood (Gusto)
We are currently at 3rd and Bryant in Soma but will actually be moving around April 30th to a new office in the Dogpatch. It might be a bit hectic around that time to have visitors. Once we get settled, I would love to have you by the office.

Manoj Ranaweera
Was gonna ask how many integrations you got now. Lot of work to get 130+ to work, especially when the vendors change their APIs.
Jeff Cole
@Manoj Ranaweera that number will be up to 200 by the end of the year. It is a lot of work but we have a team of 15 engineers that test the APIs daily, keeping us ahead of the game :+1:
Manoj Ranaweera
Impressive indeed. Believe Zapier got over 1000 now.

Hello, All! I am super excited to be a part of this group. Keeping it brief... I have been in the channel for almost 20 years, and have started 2 channels from scratch (not for the queasy). My passions include writing and speaking on technology efficiencies and end user adoption. _Professionally_, I strive to limit my initiatives to 3 at a time. Currently, these include advising PlumUC, a cloud communications consultancy I started in 2014, working with AI and U Workshop (www.AIandUworkshop.com) an AI consulting practice, and just now exploring a new full-time endeavor. Details to follow, once the dust settles. _Personally_, I am a father to 2 BUSY teenagers, and scattered husband to my wife of 18 years. Too much info? Would _LOVE_ to connect on LinkedIn if you are so inclined. You can find me on LI by visiting www.GregPlum.com. Cheers!

I am the founder of BullRush (we had a name change last year we used to be MicroManager - who would have known that was a bad choice! joy) We are a SaaS business that automatically tracks time and movement of mobile workers.

Welcome @Lisarna Wynyard you should join us at #saasconnect then!
Anna Julow Roolf
Hi, everyone! Another member of the BLASTmedia team (along with Mendy and @Chris Lucas and @Kimberly Jefferson). Looking forward to joining the conversation and sharing some possible media opportunities

Matt Mariani (Red Hat)
Hi everyone. This is Matt from Red Hat. I'm part of the global ISV program team and lead for SaaS technical and business partnerships. Happy to talk open source tech and/or go-to-market topics.
Sunir Shah
hey @Matt Mariani (Red Hat) nice to meet you. What kind of ISV / SaaS program does Red Hat run?
Sunir Shah
is it mostly on the paas layer? or are you building an ecosystem?
Matt Mariani (Red Hat)
@Sunir Shah An ecosystem. The RH ISV program covers the entire RH product set, Includes training, access to RH bits for dev purposes, and co-marketing resources for joint partner solutions. There are a number of sub-tracks / certification paths around PaaS and container-based solutions. Feel free to PM me if I can be of help.
Sunir Shah
are you coming out to SaaS Connect?
Matt Mariani (Red Hat)
No, I'm sorry. Unfortunately I'd already booked at the Gartner Tech & Inno conf the same week. In case it's relevant, I'll be back in the Bay area the following week.
Sunir Shah
so many events
Sunir Shah
I think next year I’m going to make up my own month. No conflicts on the 1st of Sunirvember
Matt Mariani (Red Hat)
Indeed - on both points!
Sean Matthews
Aloha @Ashok Varma and @Matt Mariani (Red Hat)
Matt Mariani (Red Hat)
Aloha
Sunir Shah
@Matt Mariani (Red Hat) that sounds to me like you’re talking about providing the tools that saas companies are using to run on their servers? or are you also doing integration work?
Sunir Shah
seems like in PaaS land a lot of devop software
Matt Mariani (Red Hat)
It's a 'both'. There is a core technology discussion about how to build enterprise SaaS solutions and reach scale (tools for automation/development/mgmt to run on their servers). Def a lot of devop software there.
Sunir Shah
I think devops is a major piece of our CSA puzzle we are missing
Sunir Shah
I think the KongHQ people are coming to SaaS Connect. know them?
Sunir Shah
former newrelics I think
Matt Mariani (Red Hat)
We're also have good dialogue about how SaaS solutions are integrating at the customer side - integrations, apis, etc. Which can be about meeting at the customer.
Sunir Shah
I admit my compsci street cred is as valued as MC Hammer pants
Sunir Shah
the fun thing about Red Hat is you have a lot of stuff you can do
Sunir Shah
the OS level, the network levle, the service level, etc.
Sunir Shah
are you doing bizdev through the whole stack? or just a portion?
Matt Mariani (Red Hat)
Ha. Well, you get points for getting "MC Hammer pants" into a group chat.
Sunir Shah
oh man, you are just getting to know me. that is like par for the course. simple_smile
Matt Mariani (Red Hat)
RH is in many layers of the stack. Yah, we still have a great enterprise OS story, but we've extending that to many other parts of the stack. Middleware, automation (we recently acquired Ansible), and Kubernetes/DevOps.
Matt Mariani (Red Hat)
Sorry, not trying to get into a commercial. RH does lots of stuff. I'm here to understand how that stuff can helps SaaS companies scale better, be more secure, and get new capabilities to market faster - and the priorities within those.
Matt Mariani (Red Hat)
(and I'm still laughing at the Hammer reference)
Josías De La Espada

Jake Wallace

Josías De La Espada
stuck_out_tongue Right.
Josías De La Espada
We need to add more custom integrations. As for now, companies...: export a CSV, or use Zapier or have a custom integration with our API.

It's only a short drive, just a matter of time/resource/budget/etc.

Jeff Gardner
@Stefano Perrotta well hey there stranger!
Jeff Gardner
@Sean Matthews Great to hear. simple_smile
Sunir Shah
did you find doing support was helpful? I always found support was 100x more useful when doing tech partnerships than any other job where I woekd
Sunir Shah
only support truly knows the api and use cases of actual customers
Jeff Gardner
Absolutely! You have so much product knowledge and context about feature gaps and customer jobs to be done. it’s been massively helpful.
Sunir Shah
that’s been my experience

Bob Moore
I'm about to hop on a call but will shoot you a DM to discuss. We're helping companies extract new insights about their parnterships, customers, and sales pipelines by combining their data
Sean Matthews
@Bob Moore would love to discuss as well- we’re often pulled into partnership conversations between SaaS providers to give integration help
Bob Moore
@Sean Matthews awesome, will DM you
Bob Moore
(Without the competitive and compliance risks that come with openly sharing data sets outright)
Sunir Shah
that’s amazing and something that says we should talk about it with our members

Laura Skelton
Hi all, I'm Laura Skelton and I manage our partnership program at intelliHR - www.intellihr.com.au - we launched our partner program earlier this year and I've been focusing on growing it through a few different avenues. I heard Sunir's podcast interview with the Allbound crew (as we use their system) and connected with him through there. We are based in Brisbane, Australia and we are looking to branch out globally over the coming years. Looking forward to chatting with people on here about different ideas for growing partnerships and networking with people all around the globe!
David Leary
Laura, perfect timing ... last week I was in Sydney for QuickBooks Connect and an accountant was looking for a product like yours for their clients. You should strongly consider a QuickBooks Online integration and a launch on Apps.com so our 3.2 million SmallBiz and 200k accountants/bookkeepers can find you.
David Leary

Graham Seymour
@Laura Skelton - Hi! Graham Seymour, here - I lead Sales and Partnerships for JobScore - check out www.jobscore.com - we're a comprehensive, modern applicant tracking system (ATS - recruiting & hiring) that's been around for 15 years, and beloved by customers in over 150 countries. We service the 50-2000ish employee headcount mark particularly well - smaller means they're likely not looking at an ATS, larger means they might be looking at something like Kenexa, Taleo, Brassring, etc. There are plenty of excellent ATS providers in the space, but I feel we have a few unique points that might strike your interest for partnership...

A few highlights: 1. amazing Career Site and Job Posting Branding abilities (color, font, logo, videos, pics, maps, team profiles) 2. Automatic & Paid Job Board Syndication (throw a job in, auto-syncs to a ~dozen free job boards, + users can buy paid postings from almost 50 others (often w/special discounted rates), 3. Huge featureset meets competitive pricing - happy to say we're ahead of the curve on this.

I lead Sales (if you couldn't tell...) and Partnerships for JobScore - primary partners are ADP, Google, MSFT, but also HR tech like BambooHR, Namely, VerifiedFirst... maybe there's some play w/IntelliHR, if we don't have too much overlap. We're flexible and love finding great ways to partner up with companies that offer complementary solutions, or are selling to similar bases/cohorts.
Graham Seymour
Oh, cute, that was meant to be an in-thread reply. Well, if anyone in the gang has a sudden craving to read about JobScore, there you go.

Sunir Shah
I get the Pike. Where’s the 13 come from?
Todd Hager
Easy answer. We're located on Pike and 13th st.
Todd Hager
Where we truly started growing
Sunir Shah
Just never move offices
Todd Hager
ha, right
Todd Hager
We're ontop of the Elysian Brewery so no need to move really
Sunir Shah
There’s this building called 111 Richmond in Toronto, which is the Google HQ. It housed a startup incubator, called, oneeleven.com
Sunir Shah
They grew though, so moved to 325 Front St W.
Sunir Shah
Because they are clearly overcaffeinated, they decided to name all the office pods with Toronto street addresses
Sunir Shah
So your office would be something like 42 King St W, One Eleven, 325 Front St. Wt
Todd Hager
Sounds complicated simple_smile
Sunir Shah
I ask people to lay literal breadcrumbs whenever I visit their office, because I give up after the second level of inception.
Sunir Shah
unfortunately they are startup people, so starving, and the breadcrumbs tend to disappear
Umut Muhaddisoglu
@Jake Wallace & @Sunir Shah Thanks very much.

Hi Rob - As a matter of fact we do have one client who has an assessment embedded in their Thinkific site. Their site is https://fuzzyyellowballs.com/, although I’m not sure where the assessment is - it may be inside a members only section of the site.

Currently this embedding is done with an iframe - it would be interesting to see if we could come up with a more user-friendly way to do that.

Hi @Heath Allen - question for you. Our software assists Industrial/Maintenance Managers train new hires & capture the knowledge of current hires. I was on Indeed recently searching for managers who are posting jobs, as they would find our software useful. How can companies interested in reaching a niche segment of your customers partner with your company?

Our team is currently up against the challenge of our target market not knowing a solution like this exists, so they aren’t searching for it. Trying to find novel ways to introduce this software to them in targeted, appropriate ways.

We’re always looking for new brand partners, so if this sounds interesting, I’m looking forward to connecting with you!

Also, can’t wait to participate in the discussions and learn from you all!
Sean Matthews
Aloha everyone! I feel like I should re-intro myself occasionally? There’s a really strong “who’s who of B2B SaaS Partnerships” represented here and growing all the time. It would be cool to see a graph of that :-)

Anywho, Sean from Left Hook here, Co-Founder and wearer of many hats (I think we’re currently saying COO? And acting CTO). We aim to be the go-to experts on all things B2B SaaS Integrations and Partnerships, and we offer services around that. Navigating, designing, and building direct Integrations to popular App Marketplaces (think HubSpot and Slack) for our SaaS clients; helping our SaaS clients figure out which Integration Platform(s) are right for them and their customers, and enabling them on those platform(s); assisting their customers with custom Integrations especially when they’re asking for something you’re not likely going to support off the shelf (through our now sister company, Integration Helpers).

We’ve been known to do some API Design consulting as well :-)

Anywho, happy to talk about any of the following: 1) The iPaaS (Gartner term for Integration Platform as a Service) landscape 2) Best practices for App Marketplaces (from the perspective of a 3rd party dev and from a partner’s perspective) 3) Considerations for when to build and maintain direct Integrations (and your options available to you) 4) What different types of Integrations are there? (For User-facing scalable ones, we’re counting 3 categories... Data, Workflow/Functional, and UI Integrations)

We’ll be posting a survey (likely) in the coming months to try to benchmark some of the following questions: 1) How much resources do SaaS’s typically allocate towards Integrations and Partnerships? (Headcount, $$, infrastructure) filtered by type of company (API-first App? Etc) and life stage/maturity of company (ARR) 2) How do people resolve the “Partnership Standoff” (you build it, no you build it)? 3) How do you measure success for your Tech Partnerships? 4) Which have been the most valuable tech Partnerships for you to date?

Have already had a great time getting to know folks over the past year-plus, and looking forward to navigating the journey ahead with y’all!

If anyone has questions about public cloud, I'm happy to share what I know, and of course, I'd love to learn more about the pros and cons of SaaS, especially around partnerships.

Hi, everyone! Scott from Building Engines here. We're a SaaS operating platform for commercial real estate owners and managers.

Curtis Davey
Hi Scott, welcome to the CSA group. I'm a new-ish member but have found the community to be super supportive and educational so far. The networking is also fantastic!
David Sharpe
Hi everyone, nice to meet you. I'm Dave Sharpe, one of the co-founders and owners of Adzooma. We have a few different elements to our platform, but the most popular side on the partnerships is our 'Launch' platform, that allows larger companies to resell and manage Google and FB Ads en-masse. We are able to build out campaigns using custom taxonomy through our API in real time, allowing the creation of 100's or 1000's of new campaigns to be built out for clients in a day. Once created, our platform assists with the management and optimisation of the accounts without requiring a large staff presence.

On the other side, we have our 'Pro' platform, which allows for people who are already using Google Ads / FB (and shortly Bing) to take advantage of our opportunities engine and automation rules to surface improvements to active campaigns and allow for the creation of custom rules to automate away repetitive tasks (bid adjustments, reporting etc)

We are really keen to build out more relationships with partners/resellers globally

We're currently focusing on building out a comprehensive partner program across three core audiences: affiliate marketers, agency (service provider) partners and technical app / integration partners.

We are a cloud-based solution for managing real estate (rental properties, homeowners associations, parking spaces, etc). Last February I was tasked with researching the possibilities of a Partner Channel, and in October we launched our first few partners. We are definitely at the infancy of our program, and I am totally new at this, but we are seeing a lot of interest and I personally am seeing the potential of a Partner Channel as a career. I am very eager to learn best practices and things that have worked/not worked.
Henry Prevette
Hey Lauren! Good to see you in here!

Hello everyone! I am part of the partnership team here at Smile. We make two products; a stand alone (PDFpen) and TextExpander (Saas). PDFpen is our flagship PDF editor for Mac. Add signatures, text, and images. Make changes and correct typos. OCR scanned docs. Fill out forms. PDFpen is a whole family of apps for Mac, iPhone and iPad. TextExpander is the typing shortcut tool that lets you minimize work and maximize everything else. TextExpander comes with a whole family of apps for Mac, iPhone & iPad, Chrome Extension and PC. Great to be a part of the group.
Jared Fritz
Hi Stacy! I used to sit next to our customer service team, and they would use text expanders all the time. Pretty cool to see them solve a ticket with a template in a matter of seconds
Stacy L. Carlson
I use it pretty extensively in the work I do as well. I’m actually in a (known to only me) race with the customer support team to see if I can save more time then them simple_smile

Stewart Townsend - Channel.Vision
Hello everyone! Having been in channel roles for 20+ years at Sun Microsystems, Oracle and then to Datasift before being recruited by Zendesk pre IPO as Channel Director with the focus to build a channel program from zero to revenue, build a team in EMEA and support our BPO team within EMEA. Phew it was crazy, loved it, learnt lots and then decided working away from home 5 days a week was to much and decided to work locally and understand the digital businesses on my doorstep before setting up "Channel as a Service" http://www.channelasservice.com/ a few years ago which has turned into a consulting/done for you service for SaaS businesses globally who are starting to explore indirect revenue streams and make the usual mistakes of allocating to sales and thinking it will all work out fine. I have worked with clients in Mining, Document management, Telco, Blockchain, Market Automation who are all SaaS companies who want to accelerate revenue. Great to meet you all and happy to share knowledge.
Sunir Shah
Stewart, so glad you can join us. I have a million questions.
Dina Moskowitz
Hi Stewart - we should definitely talk and partner up! We play in the same space with a similar mission but are all about the partner identification/discovery, profiling and segmentation and have at least one opportunity that might be worth discussing with you that's EMEA based. Message me direct and let's talk soon!

Hey @Bjarne Viken Welcome! Cool to hear you're doing LI lead gen, how's it going? Would be interested to hear about how you do that simple_smile
Bjarne Viken
Sure Noah. For clients that has a really good market I use LinkedIn Sales Navigator to find key decisionmakers, then send targeted connection messages with followup. I have been successful with career advisors, ghostwriters and motivational speakers.
Bjarne Viken
The biggest challenge with LinkedIn is always market fit, for SaaS companies with a good fit it can be very easy.
Bjarne Viken
This might be of value to you Noah. It is a simple guide I put together on finding decision makers on LinkedIn. Doing thing manually always beats any automation (if we ignore the variable of time)
Noah Green
Interesting! I do something similar but don't start with LI I use it as a touch point so start with a list of leads then once they don't respond after email 3 I set up a zap to connect on LI and then another Zap to update my lead on the action that occured
Noah Green
Thanks for sharing that i"ll take a look simple_smile
Bjarne Viken
Interesting, you might want to experiment looking for service providers for your existing customers. I am doing that with my mastermind concept. I spent 2 hours this morning going over all the replies.

Sunir Shah
@Dominic Panamkuzha what’s your reseller strategy look like?
Dominic Panamkuzha
Hello Sunir. Our strategy is to sell our platform through partners. Partners could be any companies who is already having expertise on the field of cloud and SaaS.

We are mostly looking for companies who are already selling 3rd party platforms like Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, Freshsales, Stripe, Aweber and couple of other softwares (native and other) it's, since we have integration with the same.
Sunir Shah
Do you have a reseller program already?
Sunir Shah
Are your resellers invoicing the customers; are they referring them to you to bill?
Dominic Panamkuzha
Billing could be done both the ways.
Sunir Shah
I’m super interested in learning more what you’re doing. This is a hard problem
Heather Delleney
Hi everyone! I’m Heather, I manage Heap’s Solutions Partnerships (we’re in the product analytics space), I started as a BDR there and moved to this role ~4 months ago. Recently attended the SaaSy Channel Sales training taught by @Lisa Thoman Lawson and am very excited to be part of this community!

I have a question for you: what has been your biggest “AHA!” moment in your partnerships career so far?
Sunir Shah
Hey Heather! Congratulations on the promotion. I’ve been talking to Heap for a long time about getting their partnership program up and running. It sounds like a great opportunity.
Sunir Shah
My biggest AHA moment which you’ll hear in everything I say, is that the other person is just as anxious the deal with fall apart as you are.

Sometimes they handle that anxiety badly by playing poker or throwing a tantrum, but if you are empathetic, you’ll build long lasting relationships.
Heather Delleney
Love this! thanks for sharing @Sunir Shah
Jake Wallace
Welcome @Heather Delleney!
Cory Snyder
Welcome @Heather Delleney. I remind my team on a regular basis that we are in the business of relationships! They don't always lead to shared revenue but they can become so much greater majority of the time.

In addition, if I am going to be that guy, I have a quote I share with my team often which is "Control what you can control BUT influence what you can't". With channel there are a ton of uncontrollables but nothing you can't influence.

Great timing Tomas was looking at Integromat yesterday, not tested yet but love it already. Compared to Zapier etc it knocks the socks off them.

James Sandoval (MeasureMatch)
Hey folks. I’m starting to work from home and I’m really missing the banter of where I usually work (WeWork near London Fields, London). To make up for that - much of it exchanging and evolving business ideas with super talented entrepreneurs - I’m going to try to make that happen via Zoom.

So, if you’re up for it, feel free to book me using the Calendly link below, which has a Zoom link baked inside.

Here are a few hot topics for me (off the cuff): • VC pitching, related best practices and finding best investors in enterprise software and/or B2B marketplaces (been doing a lot of this lately) • SaaS channel partnerships (for sales & services) best practices and pitfalls to avoid • The top 1, 2 and 3 goals, magic results and general accountability that SaaS channel partnerships leaders are pursuing and how • Open to ideas

Hello team. I am the ISV/SaaS Partnership Manager at PayTrace. We are a B2B/B2G payments platform that helps businesses achieve lower interchange rates (lower wholesale rates) when accepting Visa and MasterCard corporate, purchasing, and government credit cards. Increasing the companies revenue and bottom-line profit. Most software and SaaS organizations work with us when they service B2B customers who need to accept payments within their software. Please let me know if I can answer any questions and I look forward to learning with and from all of you. Thank You!
Sankararaman
Hi Mr. @Kevin Hurd Great to meet you here! Do you think a sales engineering/presales experience shall help while working/in migrating - to an ISV based career?
Kevin Hurd
Hey Sankar, can you tell me more about what you are thinking here? I have an assumption of what you might be asking, but I would like to make sure I understand.
Sankararaman
Haha, can you please proceed from your current perspective? Because I understand product building knowledge as well as stakeholder management skills will be very powerful which I aim at; which explains why I mentioned the above in my previous message. Feel free to let me know what you think.
Kevin Hurd
What type of career were you looking to pursue with an Independent Software Vendor (ISV)?
Sankararaman
Hi. Not a full fledged ISV based sales role per se. What I had in mind was that I want to drive app adoption, Co-marketing activities, marketplace population etc.,
Natalie Kerns

@Kevin Hurd It seems we may have some synergies! I am a Bus Dev Manager for the ISV Alliance in the QuickBooks (Accounting System) ecosystem.

I'm with a company called Right Networks. https://www.rightnetworks.com/who-we-serve/independent-software-vendors/ If you feel there's no merit. I'm ok with that too. simple_smile Have a great weekend!

Hi @UJN8GCABA><@UJN8GCABA><@UJN8GCABA thanks for adding me. I have never made a formal intro! @channel

I lead the SSPR team in Chicago. We work with tech companies with 3M-100M+ ARR in the US and abroad who want to leverage public relations to capture their market share and get more eyes on their brands organically.

Because of the huge redistribution of market share that is happening right now for super active brands in the space, I’m happy to chat and trade ideas with anyone in the group that have communication or media-related questions!
Noah Green
Welcome @Amanda Urban Great to have you in here simple_smile Really interesting to hear how you help companies leverage PR to get more eyes organically! I’m in a similar area, from a social media perspective proving ROI has always been hard but we use the data to draw ties between posts and referrals from social channels… With that in mind I’d be interested to hear how you prove the ROI on your efforts? As they’re organic!

Natalie Kerns
Hello! I’ve been a part of this community for years now. @Sunir Shah and I go way back to SXSW 2016 where a group of CSA companies collectively sponsored a party at Coyote Ugly bar in Austin joy.

It occurred to me that I’ve never formally introduced myself here, so as I sit alone working from home, I figured the time is now!

Here are some fun facts about me: • I went to highschool on an island called Vashon near Seattle, the ferry was my school bus • My first sales job was selling Gonzaga newspaper ads to local businesses in Spokane • I’ve been in two car accidents involving cows. The second didn’t survive. No, I was not driving either time simple_smile I’ve been with Cloud Elements since my internship in the summer of 2014, and have watched us grow from 15 people and an MVP product to 140 employees and trusted by companies like SAP, DNB and IBM as their product integration layer. (Twilio provides APIs for messaging, Stripe provides APIs for payments, CE provides APIs for application integration).

I’d love to connect and talk about growing pains, geek out over APIs, and share perspective on ecosystem best practices!
Noah Green
Hey @Natalie Kerns That’s awesome to hear you and @Sunir Shah go so far back simple_smile

It’s never too late to introduce yourself, nice to meet you aha nice to properly meet you!

Car accidents involving cows… wow.

Being from London, I’ve got little to no experience with cars or cows so this definitely spiked my curiosity!

Fantastic to see you’ve actually gone through a similar path to myself, I was actually at Paddle.com joined at 7 and ending up leaving after 150 people, having been involved with them growing from barely a seed round through to having multiple offices and a global presence, it was time to launch my own venture!

I started in sales before finding my place, in growth marketing now I’m helping a collective of companies across the SaaS spectrum and now helping bring Sunir’s vision to life with this fantastic community! muscle

You should join #coffee-time I’d love to potentially pair with you at some point!
Jared Fritz
Hi Natalie! I played tennis against Vashon High back in the day. Always fun taking the ferry.
Arpit Choudhury
That's a cool introduction Natalie, I would love to geek over APIs at some point.

P.S. I lead growth at Integromat, an iPaaS and Zapier's main competitor. simple_smile
Natalie Kerns
@Noah Green sounds like you and I have a lot in common! I’d love to grab a virtual coffee with you to hear more about your story and compare notes. simple_smile I’ll join that channel! Thanks for the heads up.

@Jared Fritz and I realized we were both coached by grandmas on our tennis teams… his grandma was his tennis team’s tennis coach, and our coach was an 82 year old lady. Gotta love small schools simple_smile

@Arpit Choudhury it’s great to meet you! Love to see another company coming to market in the integration world! Would love to chat with you sometime and learn more!
Kenny Browne
Hey Folks, I am new here and refered by @Mark Cain but am already seeing some familiar faces (@Brittany Wroblewski, @Natalie Kerns). I currently a product manager and manage the partner program, APIs, and integrations at Daxko. Right now focusing on how to grow a tech partner program from new Q3 of last year to 100 partners by EOY.

Previously I worked at G2 Crowd with Brittany from employee #10 as an engineer until I left as Product Manager of APIs & Integrations. I have basically lived my entire career in APIs and recently within the last 3-4 years started shifting my focus to partnerships as well.

Some fun facts: • I am an avid Zombie fan and read and watch anything I can related to it, its fascinating how many different variation there are. One interesting thing is that in almost all of the the book and movies the world does not collectively come together like they have for COVID-19 so I ahve some hoep we could survive any zombie infection. • I dislike big cities >250K but spent 3 years working in downtown Chicago and 3 years working in SF • I met my wife when I was 5 but we never dated until after high school I am open to any connections and would love to help and support this community in anyway especially with the world facing what it is today. https://www.linkedin.com/in/kennybrowne/

We ( Accelity Marketing ) work exclusively with B2B SaaS companies, including several HR companies in the past.

Hey @here
Yossi Mlynsky
Wanted to say Hi - I joined a while back - back have been basically dormant. I run a company called Upstack.co - helping startups like TaskRabbit, MealPal and Invision hire top remote software talent! I am in the process of building out a partner network for Upstack and wanted some guidance of how to get momentum. We are a pretty high ticket service, and do offer referrals etc.. but it is pretty random and sort of not that interesting to a wide amount of people. I have an idea of creating a wider partner program where we collab with loads of tools and services, as we have a network of over 1k developers and hundred of current and past clients - there could be alot of mutual jamming. Wanted to reach out again and say hi - and share - and learn!!!

Robyn Rapp
wave Hello all! Hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and sane. I am finally able to get my head above water after leaving my job at Slack a month ago to spend some quality time with my 19-month old daughter and lean into my exec coaching practice.

I am writing to you from my home in Sausalito, CA, just a few miles north of San Francisco.

Prior to coaching, I worked in Partnerships at Google for almost a decade with a short stint in between for my MBA and then joined as one of Slack’s earliest Platform Partnerships members in 2016.

Over the course of the last ~4 years, I helped cultivate and manage some of Slack’s largest partnerships across a variety of verticals, scaled our partner program and launched various betas.

I’m hoping to learn more from this wonderful community and lend my expertise and guidance wherever helpful woman-bowing

Hello Cloud Software Association!

Very excited to be a part of this group. Shoutout to @Tom Davis for recommending. I see a few familiar faces in here from the Toronto tech community which is great to see.

Here's a brief summary on me: • 5 years in SaaS partnerships • Currently: Head of Partnerships at Jobber. • Previously: Spent 8yrs at TouchBistro (employee #3). Starting as AE and graduating into leading partnership programs in 2015. • Partnership Experience: Reseller/Channel Sales, Affiliate, Referral/Advisor Programs, Strategic Partnerships, Integrated Partnerships. • Expertise: Building and scaling partner programs from ground up, partner enablement, internal sales enablement, reporting & attribution tracking. What I'm looking to contribute: Unconditional value-add in any way that I can provide it - introductions, ideas, resource sharing, etc.

What I'm looking to gain: Insights and best practices on the different 1) value-exchanges and 2) demand-gen initiatives that my peers are setting up with their partners.

Excited to be a part of this community!

Hello hello hello! I'm really excited to join this community, been looking for a place to meet others in our niche role for too long now!

I operate the partner program at Jungle Scout & have been involved with SaaS, Ecommerce & Partnerships for 3 years now. I recently participated as a speaker at _PartnerStack's Partnership Power Summit_, so huge thanks to @Sunir Shah for not only the awesome content but introducing me to CSA.

I'm hoping to contribute with ideas & resource sharing while gaining insights to best practices in performance partnerships & scaling my program to $10M+ annually. simple_smile Recently, I have been exploring the expansion of our program to '_Agency Resellers_' as we launch our enterprise product & would love to chat with anyone who has expertise there. Feel free to DM or connect on LinkedIn. Looking forward to connecting with you all! Cheers.
David Thomson
Welcome @Joe
Erin Rosintoski Lewis
Hi Joe wave enjoyed your talk at the summit!
Sunir Shah
You say reseller, I say.. will DM. simple_smile
Sunir Shah
Welcome to the CSA. Your talk was amazing.

One of the more interesting takeaways I took was our 3 talks in a row at the Partnerstack Summit in the morning talked about how difficult it was to motivate partners with commissions but the entire afternoon the chat was filled with the audience asking about what commissions to offer. Seems like a lot of room to share your experience with the community.
Joe
Thanks David! Appreciate the kind words, Erin & Sunir.

I had the same thought as well. In my experience, money can only get you so far - it's far more about the relationship you can create. The best partners for Jungle Scout are not concerned with the highest possible commission, but moreso how we can help grow their audience through comarketing, leveraging our company resources. Some influencers with large audiences have demanded 50% lifetime recurring commission which I have tested, and their conversion rates are abysmal compared to our passionate partners who truly believe in our service. They make for natural extensions of our brand, and have insane conversion rates that make my CMO very very happy!
Arpan
Hey Everyone handshake! Thanks @Mary Vue for the add - I am on the Alliances team for Workato, based in the warm Silicon Valley and looking after some interesting partnerships around ETL/ELT , RPA and LowCode.

Good morning guys,

I'm Aleksi, a Partner Development Manager, for Vena. We're a Cloud FP&A tool for teams to eliminate manual effort and risk in financial processes without taking anyone off Excel.

I just joined the partners team two weeks ago from direct sales and am thrilled to start a new chapter in my career. I'd love to connect with experienced channel managers on building out a thriving partners program, managing partner relationships, tricks of the trade, and ERP/CPM re-sellers who want to grow their business.

Feel free to DM me, or connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aleksimattlar/

You can find me on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/mmccoll. Specific to ClickTime, we are finding that integrations and technology partnerships are incredibly powerful and enabling for our customers and partners right now. Our data and workflows intersect with HR, CRM, ERP, Accounting, FP&A, IT ticketing, Project Management, and BI software solutions. Please feel free to DM me for any reason-- happy to chat! :)

Katrina Paglierani
Hello Everyone. I joined last month, but just now had a change to post in #intros since I was busy closing out the year with some of our biggest partners. I am a VP of Alliances and Partnerships in HR Technology Integrations working with clients globally from 500 employees and up. I am most interested in hearing about and meeting Start ups in the HR Tech industry or those looking to partner with that market. My experience here has been great so far having met a couple very nice people with great offerings.
Jake Wallace
Welcome Katrina, we should connect!
Sunir Shah
Welcome! HR tech is such a difficult vertical due to the budget cycles and stakeholders viewing HR as a cost centre. As an iPaaS, I’m sure you see a lot of companies navigate these challenges. What is working? What isn’t?
Katrina Paglierani
It really depends on your market ie SMB or Enterprise. I have recently ( last friday) moved from Modulus Data which does highly customized integrations which are great for customers trying to do Custom integrations with Oracle, SAP, Workday, ADP and really anyone who is a larger employer with a complex tech stack. I think for SaaS vendors who have a smaller ticket price on their own product, are targeting SMB, or have month to month customers , they should go with an embedded iPaaS solution designed for SaaS vendors to land and expand and allow them to control their partner marketplace without alot of upfront cost and no per client cost.

Hi everyone and thanks for the effort you put into this community!

I am currently a Business developer x Assistant to the CEO (@Simon Bouchez (Sharework)) at Sharework. Our product empowers Alliances Managers with top-of-the-notch Account Mappings with their partners.

Anyway, enough with the promotion upside_down_face I have a first question:

We saw an email about a webinar that we could unfortunately not attend to (_Turn tech partnerships into predictable revenue_, August 13th). Is there a recording of the event? If so, where can I find it?

Thanks again, have a nice day with lots of new partnerships!
Bradley Blinn
Hi Bastien. We should probably talk. Simon was referred to me by way of Phil McKennan. Lets try and connect via email. I can be reached at:

James Sandoval (MeasureMatch)
Hi everyone. James here at MeasureMatch. This is a quick re-intro note wink.

My team and I are working our magic to ramp up SaaS & enterprise software vendor participation in the MeasureMatch pro services marketplace platform.

We're fast approaching 100 technology vendors signed up to a product we're calling Partner Hubs. We're super thankful to have early adopters like AB Tasty, Unbounce, FullStory, Heap, Domo, Amplitude, Supermetrics, Tealium using Partner Hubs as part of their go-to-market strategy.

The name of our game is growth, albeit in a pretty different kind of way - we're supporting the growth ambitions of SaaS & enterprise software vendors through a high value, partner-first, transactional professional services marketplace platform.

Mind blown? No sweat, it def needs a little explaining. Here's a two-pager intro. Attached is a mock-up of a reporting layer we're building for Vendor accounts, in order to monitor and measure channel partner performance (and more).

Alternatively, get in touch (details below) or...sign up! It's free and quick to apply for a Vendor account, build a profile (aka Partner Hub), add new or existing channel partners from our network of nearly 4,000 agencies, consultancies, SIs and solo consultants across 60 countries (all screened or invited by other software vendors).

We're still super early in our game, but we're growing over 100% year on year, which means more opportunities for software vendors to partner with amazing service providers and to sell their products into more businesses (via amazing partners, of course).

It's worth noting that _*MeasureMatch does not monetise on software product sales*_ - we leave any/all referral fees and commissions between technology vendors and their channel partners. Consider MeasureMatch a helping hand wink.

We're especially keen to onboard SaaS and enterprise software vendors that are solving for marketing automation, CRM, customer service, eCommerce, data collection, data management, data visualization, analytics, iPaaS, cyber security, enterprise cloud solutions and related.

@Orly Halpern (Chartbeat) Hi! By way of an example, Chartbeat is a great example of a vendor we'd love to have in the mix muscle.

Apply for a Vendor account here: https://app.measurematch.com/signup/vendor

Or drop me a note if you'd like to ask chew on ideas or ask any questions: . Here's my LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamessandoval/. I'm based in London.

I always give folks an out and so here it is: no worries if this is off strategy.

Thank you, James
Sunir Shah
I’m sure you’re going to do a SaaS Connect 1:1 one of these days
James Sandoval (MeasureMatch)
Happy to @Sunir Shah wink. Let’s do it.
Orly Halpern (Chartbeat)

Greg Plum
Hello, All! I've been involved with CSA for a few years, but recently more actively involved, as I assume a new professional role, as well. I am the channel chief for Mobile Solutions, a managed mobility provider based in Centennial, Colorado. We have recently inked parter agreements with many of the major master agents in the telecom space (Telarus, Intelisys, and Avant). My focus is seeking partners that are interested in offering the following to their customers: mobile plan optimization (think cost savings without changing carriers...often times completely covering the cost of our service), outsourcing the headache of mobile plan management, and security at the endpoints. The big term today is UEM (unified endpoint management), which secures smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Since we are ALL working at the edge these days, security at the endpoint is a hot topic now more than ever.

I'm a 20 year channel guy, but a 2 month mobility guy, so I have tons to learn, but channel is our focus. Helping partners (ISVs, telecom agents, VARS, etc.) help their customers with their mobility needs. If they are not asking their customers what they are doing for mobility, someone else will!

I intended this to be a quick post, but you can see I am super passionate about this space. I would gladly meet with anyone interested in chatting mobility or if you want to have an outside the box strategic discussion with what you are doing, more than happy to do it. I'm still an email guy (sorry @Sunir Shah and @Noah Green!), so email me at . and we can get a 15 - 30 minute meeting on the books. Would also love to connect on LinkedIn Thanks! Greg.

James Denker
Hey everyone! James Denker here, and I've been working in various technology companies for the past 10 years. Most of my time has been focused on the B2B side of things specializing in business development, partnerships, project management, & account management. Whether it was selling custom CRM implementations for AT&T under the IBM banner for 6 years, or my past three years building partner eco systems for two MarTech solutions. Currently, I'm building my own partnership practice with my first client engagement next week!

What do I do for fun you say? • Certified Flight Instructor (planes and drones included) ---- essentially a "paid hobby" if you will • Piano • Cycling • Golf The intention of the business is to work with a select list of agencies, consultants, SaaS, or emerging platforms that may not need a full time hire. My ultimate goal is to join a company full time, but I want to ensure its a long term fit, and its solution is essential in nature! My intention joining Cloud Software Association is to work with like minded individuals to sort through go to market strategies, trends, generate interest in demand generation activities, and expand my network. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn, and I look forward to contributing!

I am not new here — I joined more than 2 years back. In fact, if you're active here, you've probably seen me around or we've already caught up for a virtual coffee. coffee

However, I'm starting anew and thought it's a good opportunity to reintroduce myself to the community.

I have moved on from leading growth at Integromat and am joining the product marketing team at Trifacta — a leader in the data wrangling/data prep space building tools for data workers to wrangle/clean/transform/ large and complex data sets before the data can be analyzed or acted upon. bar_chart

Besides helping folks fall in love with Trifacta, I hope to grow https://dataled.academy into a place for anybody to learn how to work with data and stay updated on the latest tools and technologies in the space.

Lastly, if you are building a product that that enables people to solve their data woes or would just like to talk about data, APIs or automation, I'd love to hear from you. ear

P.S. When I'm not thinking about data, I like to talk to my dog or dance to loud music. drum_with_drumsticks

David Sharpe
Hello everyone,

I’ve been a quiet member for a while, and so many people from so many amazing companies have joined recently, so I thought that I would re-introduce myself and Adzooma, and explain what we do on the enterprise side, which is very different from what we do for mass market!

Are you selling, or want to sell Google, FB and Microsoft Ads to SMBs at scale?

- Working with clients on micro budgets and struggling to get results? - Clients having issues placing pixels and tags? - Sales team struggling with software and skill set to create campaigns with a client? - Campaign creation taking too long? - Clients want to have input on campaigns to the detriment of the campaigns? - Legacy software that you need new systems to integrate into?

We cover all this, and more! Whether you need a relatively off-the-shelf solution or a full custom integration, we can come up with exactly the solution you need, in a cost effective way. These are all problems we have solved for various different telcos and ex-directory companies in the USA and Europe. We cover over 3,000 business categories, and can create, launch and manage campaigns in an automated process, at speed and scale.

If these are issues that you or your company is facing, then it would be awesome to setup a call with you and let us show you how we can help create the solution that works for you and your team.

Thanks Dave

Dr. Mark T Wade
Hello fellow rockstars!! I'm Dr. Mark T Wade CEO of Viral Summits Concierge, creator of the One-Day Summit, and founder of Virtual Summits Software (SAAS) which was the first platform ever created for hosting Virtual Summits. Its claim to fame (other than being the first platform) is it makes hosting a virtual summit quicker & easier than ever before with zero tech skill needed.

I'm a doctor by trade (actually I have 2 doctorates which means I'm a HUGE nerd) wink turned Software & Summit lover! I host the Virtual Summit Podcast, run an in person conference called Summit Fest Live in New Orleans and currently have our main event "Summit Talks" (the largest Virtual Summit on Virtual Summits) happening in real time. So I'm heads down on that for the moment, and as soon as I have time to come up and breathe I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible.

Shout out to @Paddy McGill (PartnerPixel and Other SaaS Companies) for introducing me to this epic gathering of like minds. Happy to connect: our software is at: www.VirtualSummits.com and our current summit (Summit Talks) is at https://www.summittalks.online/

G'Day everyone!

Shoutout to @Paddy McGill (PartnerPixel and Other SaaS Companies) for connecting us to what already seems like an incredible community of people! I am a Technical Co-Founder with a decade of fullstack dev & design background. I really enjoy bridging the world of code and business (investor relations, roadmaps, pricing strategy, community.. etc) and shipping the right sized products at the right time. (Lean Startup style). If anyone needs help in this area, bounce some ideas around, don't hesitate to ask away! coffee

Currently my daily focus goes to Quicc (www.quicc.io) our SaaS startup that is focused on optimizing video content production workflows for creators. We started in the automatic captioning space and created a "Canva for adding captions to videos" it's simple, requires no editing skills, and is perfect for marketers, video creators, speakers, and governments to provide fully accessible and branded captions for their audiences scrolling the feed on mute. mute

We have come a long way in the last 15 months since launching, working with creators at big brands (Adobe, Amazon, TD Ameritrade) and have users in over 120 countries across 11 different language models now. The next big step in our mission goes live in the next few weeks with adding a customized search & content clipping feature across everything we have learned in the past year-ish. muscle - Think: "I want to find the one time someone said _______ in my library of 100 hours of content, clip that, and post it on social" - we'll do that for you in seconds.

My goal here is: • to connect with people who find the SaaS Creative Content space interesting, see if there are product collaboration opportunities • provide any insight for others who are on the same path!

What’s your biggest challenge right now with the new channel program?
Alex Siegler
Thank you Sunir! As a Salesforce AppExchange partner, the biggest challenge is driving awareness of our solution within Salesforce sales and solution engineering teams. There are so many partners in the ecosystem that it can be difficult to breakthrough, even with a great offering.

Hi All, Greg Mitchell, lead Partner Programs at ThoughtSpot, a next-generation Analytics platform moving to SaaS.
Gina Sandoval
Hi Greg - I've heard good things about your partner program.
Mat Samson
Hey Greg I looked a bit at your product and it seems like you could bridge a gap with our product. We can generate tons of manufacturing data driven from manual tasks done by operators (Cycle time, Setup time, efficiencies by job by operators, quality data, etc.). The data is all exportable through Excel or API and customers then analyze with their own means (power BI, custom Excel Pivot tables, AI softwares, etc.). I am sure they could benefit from sending all that info in your platform. Send me a PM if you think there's value.

Dave Weinberg
Hi fellow CSAers smile ! For the past year, I have been an active member here -- meeting so many of you, sharing in our successes and failures, and learning so much from each other. As my own journey has evolved - Covid and other factors throwing in a wrench or two along the way -- this community has been a source of inspiration. Thank you. I couldn't be happier to officially share here that I have joined Recruited - a boutique recruiting firm - as a partner along with the incredible @Aric Kabillio (one of my all-time favorite people). tadaheart

I will be leading the Partnerships practice which works with clients to match amazing talent to roles in partnerships, business development, sales, marketing and customer success.

I strongly believe in building the ecosystem of Partnership practitioners, roles, and successful deals through definition, content, resources, and professional development. This is not a one person or one organization thing -- we need to work together. In the coming months, we will be writing, recording, and publishing all kinds of things aimed at our space -- we need to hear from YOU! I would love to interview you about the challenges, successed and failures you and/or your organization has seen around partnerships.

If you have a partnership/alliance/channel team growth challenge, a role we can help you fill, a brand story we can help you tell to hire better, a partnership we can build together, or are looking for your dream job -- PLEASE get in touch :)

Welcome Arijit! What kind of channel partners are you looking at working with?
Arijit Bose
Hey @Sunir Shah, there is nothing set in stone right this moment. We will have a better plan by the end of Jan. Right now, we’re still figuring what makes sense for us given the niche market we’re in. I hope that makes sense.

Jeff Fattibene
Hi folks, Jeff Fattibene here. I’m building out partner enablement and operations at Scandit, a Swiss-based computer vision company. Greatly looking forward to the expertise and networking available here! Based out of the US in Atlanta, GA.
Sunir Shah
Welcome! Thanks for joining! Are you also providing hardware directly or just the software to embed in hardware?
Jeff Fattibene
Hi Sunir, just the software, and actually it’s an SDK, so we just embed lines of code into a customers app, or work with SIs, ISVs, and hardware manufacturers to deliver the functionality
Sunir Shah
Are you selling in a licensed model or a subscription model?
Jeff Fattibene
licensed model
Sunir Shah
Are you OEMing into subscription software? Does that present business model challenges? The subscription channel is a mess compared to the licensed channel.
Danny Deganis
Hello everyone,

I have enjoyed participating here on CSA for the past few weeks but just realized I have not completed an intro.

I have worked in multi-tiered technology Channels for more than 20 years and presently work for a diversified Professional Services company called CGS.

I prefer a problem solving approach vs. a sales pitch. I also really try to avoid corporate jargon and aim to get to the heart of the matter with simple questions.

What is the problem or opportunity you are trying to tackle? What is the desired outcome? Do you have executive leadership buy-in in terms of support, resources, and budget to make that outcome achievable?

I have attached a menu of the services that we deliver to our technology vendor and ISV clientele to help them achieve scale, address tactical opportunities, or improve operational outcomes. CGS has especially strong expertise in the Open Source market (partner recruiting & enablement, solution architecture, and sales operations)

Happy to have an introductory discussion and kick around ideas. Time is precious, if CGS cannot help you, I will tell you up front and may also be able to help you navigate to someone who can.
Sunir Shah

Sunir Shah
Welcome! How are you building channel when you’re pre-seed? I’m in a similar position.
Ben B
It's a weird situation for sure. I took on the challenge based on the vision of the founder. We don't have direct sales, and the founder wants to target the SMB market to start. A bit different from everything else I've seen.

We are utilizing regional MSSPs as the basis of the channel program.

I love building relationships and consider myself lucky to do this job on a daily basis! Looking forward to meeting industry colleagues.

Kerstin Deppe
Hi Sunir! Thank you and I appreciate finding a community of like-minded individuals.
Kerstin Deppe
I think my biggest challenge has been understanding the right progression of activities. To date I have not had the time to create a solid internal enablement process from the standpoint of working through use cases for each partner and mapping them to services we offer. I want to create sales playbooks for both existing and new business teams, which will then lead to the ability to create the right joint collateral, etc. I feel like I've been all over the map. simple_smile

At a high level we are solving AML requirements but from a use case perspective we reduce false positives, reduce investigation time, provide a risk based view of organisations, reduce operational cost and deliver AI insights, once fully embedded. I joined this group to collaborate, learn and share my experiences. I'm U.K. based and currently executing on a 30-90 day plan in my role at Napier. The problem is, we are growing so fast we needed everything three months ago. The platform is incredible with proven success and huge amounts of untapped potential in the channel. I wondered if anyone else is new to a successful SaaS startup and dealing with multiple priorities from a global viewpoint. I'd love to connect and gain advice for strategic, attainable, global growth. Thank You, Melissa

We built a low-code / no-code software platform that helps organizations create engaging digital experiences that capture 1P, consumer preference data (or declared-data / zero-party data if you prefer) at scale.

We've been fortunate to build some incredible partnerships with the likes of Salesforce (Marketing Cloud, Datorama), Epsilon-Publicis, Shopify, Braze, Klaviyo, SAP, Publicis-Sapient, Snapchat, Pinterest, Twitter and more. While we continue to focus on increased revenue (net-new and expansion) with our enterprise cohort, we have also rolled out a freemium version of our solution and are leaning into Product-Led growth through our partner channels. Both motions are a bit different but by end of year, our goal is to formalize our processes for both tracks in an effort to have a scalable, repeatable program and playbook to grow our partner ecosystem in H2-21 and beyond.

Really eager to learn from you all, share knowledge / best-practices, and get to know you personally. Please don't hesitate to reach out anytime!

Tommy Avers
Hey yall! I am the Director of Partnerships for Stax, a payment technology company based out of Orlando.

I currently reside in Dallas, love to golf (let's play sometime!), and have been in partnerships for most of my career. I love every aspect of partnerships: the long challenging sales cycle, the networking, the bliss of finding a perfect fit with a partner that creates meaningful enterprise value, and especially having the ability to help colleagues and competitors alike every day, knowing that what comes around goes around!

At Stax, I help enable Software Platforms to integrate a white labeled payments program that their customers can enroll in efficiently and effectively. Don't hesitate to reach out if you want to learn more about my company / product, get an intro to someone you see I am connected with on LinkedIN, or if you want to shoot the s%&t about who is going to win the PGA Championship this weekend.

Cheers! simple_smile Tommy

Hello, my name is Sharon, and I manage partnerships at Oribi.io. We’ve developed an analytics tool, which is a fantastic alternative to Google Analytics, and raised more than $27M from top VCs worldwide to compete against giants such as Google.

Currently, our partner program is a significant source of income for our startup, so I’d love to share my experience and learn from talented community members through this platform.

Check out our partnership program here: https://oribi.io/share

Feel free to contact me here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonhalbani/
Vernon Southward
I'd be very interested in reading about how you guys compete in this space, specifically on how you're competing with free and how central GA is to a business. I've long thought that there should be a better alternative but replacing GA almost seemed impossible to do.
Sharon Halbani
You’re right; it isn’t easy, but it’s very necessary. Many people need to understand their traffic better.

Oribi goes beyond GA Freemium, though, and provides concrete actions you can take to improve traffic and increase sales. We also offer a dedicated customer support team and eliminate the need for developers or analysts to set up events and interpret them.

So, I’ve got something better than reading. You can try Oribi on your site (for free), and you’ll see in a sec how we compete in this space :)

Let me know if you’re interested.

Hey all. I head go to market and partnerships at Truly Financial - the first real alternative to international banking, for businesses. After spending a few years in B2B payments, we saw that businesses struggle with 5-7 different banking and payment services, leading to high cost, delays and frustration.

Banks have always done a poor job of payments and payment cos do a poor job of banking. So we launched Truly Financial, so they can get a single bank account that manages banking and payments in one place.

We are looking at partnerships with other services that can simplify their banking and payments experience, while adding value and creating additional revenue for us and our partners.

It's much more about organizing/scheduling/sharing information in group context or events of multiple dimensions. We are interested in partnerships that can potentially make each of our products/services more useful and making life easier for more people. A quick action is that I've set up a meetup calendar for this community so hopefully the meetups are more visible and easier for anyone to see where when there are meetups: https://www.cloudsoftwareassociation.com/wp-content/themes/csa/slack/meetups.html#p1625403286097900?thread_ts=1624377771.087800&cid=C9GHAL53R

Well Hi @Jenny Zhan - Welcome! what a great idea to use your solution for the benefit of the community. Love it.

OK @Jenny Zhan i needed to send a quick invite to all my partners. We use Outlook for Mac as corp. That simply does not work to send to a group and keep everyone’s data private. I signed up to TeamUp in 30 seconds I created the event, shared via iCal and sent as email attachment with my partners in Bcc. You solved a really big issue for me - thank you! Now I need to figure this out as a solution more broadly for my team.
Jenny Zhan
Wow @Jason Breed well done! Thank you for sharing and thank you for appreciating the solution. That makes me really happy grinning

Adam Pasch
Hi CSA folks. Thanks to @Mark Jung for the invite and finding this great community. I am building the partnerships team for Postal.io and really looking forward to learning/growing with all of you.

Starting right now with a full re-think of all of the options. Would love to hear people's perspectives on what has worked/not-worked for you. We are in the B2B SaaS world supporting sales and marketing teams to create B2B experiences instead of just more digital noise.

Partnerships are probably focused on other B2B SaaS companies or agencies/consultants. I'm always open to creative ideas. I live for the mantra: 1+1=3!

Happy to also connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adampasch/

Hi Everyone!

I’m running the Partnerships team here at Scope.

Scope is a marketplace of vetted implementation experts that get your software products implemented for your customers. Essentially we train multiple experts in our pool of 350+ experts in your API’s/low code/no code software and when one of your customers needs implementation (through a sales cycle or self-serve), they are matched with a Scope expert within 24 hours and the project kicks off. From there, your team has full transparency into the project as it progresses. 

Want to get your customers live at no cost to you? Want to scale your services arm without hiring more developers? Let’s chat! Excited to see how we can help. Thanks in advance!

What partner program OUTSIDE of the B2B / martech space have you been watching or learning from? For me, it's professional sports.
Andrew Edelman
Hey Jason! I’ve always thought Spotify does so many interesting partnerships musical_note
Kelly Sarabyn
This is kind of old news, but I have always been impressed with Target's partnerships with high fashion brands because their target (ha) audiences were so divergent which makes it much more challenging to pull off as a win-win
Jason Yarborough
@Andrew Edelman That's a GOOD one!
Jason Yarborough
@Kelly Sarabyn Agreed! I was just noticing that last night walking through Target. Their recent partnership with Levi's is a strong one!
Chris Hwang (Unity)
I’ve been following Shopify!
Kelly Sarabyn
Oh interesting @Jason Yarborough - I was thinking of their high fashion partnerships like with John Paul Gaultier but even more impressive they were able to pull it off with a wider range of brands. And they do seem to have modified their products (their own clothes) to align with the partnership strategy as their clothes are much better designed than other "marts" ... which is a good lesson for B2B tech partnerships wink
Adrien Maillet
Hey folks! I recently joined Strapi as a Partner Development Manager in order to revamp our Partner Program. Strapi is the #1 open-source headless CMS and relies on systems integrator to customize and implement our solution.

We're working on a hiring plan for 2022, does anyone have some industry standards on how many Partners should be handled by a Dedicate Partnership Manager?

Hi gang, I wanted to re-introduce myself, because I've made a significant career change. Most of you know me as a sales and BD exec. Well, yesterday, I transitioned into venture capital. I'm now a venture partner at Stonks. It's essentially YC Demo Day for everyone. Roughly every 2 weeks, Stonks has 6 startups present to investors, and investors deploy large amounts of capital right there, on the spot. If you know of amazing startups that are doing significant ARR and seeking funding, please send them my way. I have a preference for Female Founders and Founders of Color.

Our PartnerOptimizer platform is the premier data mining, discovery and insights engine developed by B2B tech channel experts to address the expensive and time consuming pain associated with channel partner recruitment, engagement and activation.     Our goal is to help channel leaders speed up and be successful in hyper-targeting partner prospects that are the best fit. I can tell you it saved me 25-50% in recruiting time and costs at LogMeIn and SaaSMAX is regularly seeing its customers experience 2x-4x growth multiplier in channel revenue. There's nothing else out there like it.   If you're charged with growing your partner base in 2022….let’s talk. We are still productizing and expanding the partner categories that we cover, but we already have detailed fresh profiles on more than 200,000 partners. PM me to get more info! https://saasmax.com/

Can show you how our agency partners use our app, looks like the influencer offering could be a nice compliment to what you're already doing with social media ads at brighter click (get the organic posts going alongside the paid ads, use the ads to boost the influencer/creator generated content, etc).

Dustin Howes
@Brett Owens I want to hear more. You can use your WPE two-tier link and earn for all the affiliates you recruit
Brett Owens
Sweet @Dustin Howes I was just thinking we could set WP Engine up with a Brand account and post the affiliate program as its own Collab (no charge) and see how we do. Probably a no-brainer, should only take a few minutes to get setup.
Dustin Howes
honestly you should probably be doing that with a lot of programs with a two-tier setup
Dustin Howes
I love the idea on your platform
Brett Owens
I don't want to manage the influencer applications though. grinning Need someone from the company to set up the account.

As a background, I have a 200,000 member LinkedIn group and educated over 100,000 business owners through my events and programs.

Happy to share my experience in running 15+ virtual summits and dozens of online workshops, and 100s more for our clients. My specialty is predictable income through turning events evergreen (consistent leads), getting referrals on autopilot (15-20% increase in your email list), partnering with influencers (affiliates, JV partnerships, media), getting sponsors (e.g. HSBC, RBS, Vimeo), etc in a way that's simple and generates paying clients fast.

Super excited to find a community focused on partnerships as I build a Saas business for the first time. Any tips?! wink

If you are in the events industry or interested to connect on any of the above, please DM or comment below.

Hey everyone - I’m Sonya, VP of Partnerships at AdCritter. We’re a self-serve advertising platform for SMBs. Users can easily create and manage digital ad campaigns on streaming TV, internet and digital billboards. Access to premium targeting tools and delivery on top sites and networks is a huge draw, but customers love that we have pre-made creatives for virtually every business type. If you serve SMBs, I’d love to talk about a partnership — referral, reseller or even integration into your existing platform. Every business needs advertising and their ad spend could generate new revenue for your company!

Here are 15 that we wrote up: https://afluencer.com/youtube-influencers/

Thanks Brett! We are looking later this year to create some courses for creators and a Youtube influencer might be a good fit for us. Saving this for reference for when we begin to focus on building this out.

I’m excited to have found this community and would love to exchange ideas with anybody who’s interested! Also, if you’re based in Vienna flag-at and would like to meet up in person, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Eric Sangerma
Hi @Raphaela Brandner, welcome onboard. Do you guys also do Marketing/Content Calendar products?
Raphaela Brandner
Hi Eric, I’ve definitely seen users build content calendars using the Kanban boards in MeisterTask, but other than that, we don’t have a product dedicated to that kind of functionality
Eric Sangerma
OK thank you Raphaela, was looking at some potential calendar options out there, like CoSchedule or monday.com.
Raphaela Brandner
Ah, I see! Well, it really depends on how much calendar-specific functionality you really need, and what else you intend to do with the tool. If you’re considering monday.com, MeisterTask _could_ well work for your needs. I feel like it’s a bit of a balancing act between getting a ton of features (good), but also a lot of complexity (bad), vs. fewer niche-features but in return more simplicity and agility. If you’re still interested, I’d be happy to give you a short walk-through, no strings attached (Just DM me)

Chris McClellan
Hi Everyone,

I'm Chris McClellan.

I've run and exited 9 businesses the largest being a Saas technology business that I built from $0-100m, and I continue to sit on the board of that business.

I now actively partner and mentor businesses (owners and boards) in Business Acquisition, Scale Up, Investment & Exit with the goal of Radically Faster Growth, Value Creation and Maximising Multiples at Exit.

Doing this first hand from $0-100 gives me an understanding and knowledge of the process as a business owner rather than just a paid advisor.

I'm driven to learn and grow and love to be part of helping others grow and succeed through the opportunities that we can create. Watching people flourish in opportunities your business provides for them is something very fulfilling.

Please connect with me here and on LinkedIn http://linkedin.com/in/chrisjmcclellan

And feel free to message me if I can assist anywhere.

Morning, team!

I'm Liz Madsen, [newly] Head of Partnerships at Bluecore where we deliver real-time personalization across email/site/ads/etc. by uniquely connecting user behavior to real-time product catalog data, allowing us to predict the next best purchase for each shopper.

We specialize in retail only and first-party data only -- which means our AI/ML models are differentiated to understand retail-specific use cases (like discount affinity, category affinity).

We focus on improving identification, conversion rate, and repeat purchase rate. Our speed and accuracy results in 3X increases in ecommerce revenue.

The first half of this year, I'm focused on finding improving our identification to drive that ecomm lift even higher. Any ID companies out there? wink

Here to learn about building a partner roadmap and make new connections! Looking forward to learning from you all.

Along with surveys, we offer a set of dashboards and reporting tools to track satisfaction metrics over time.

Looking forward to making some new connections here!

Sunir Shah
It’s the same time as SaaS Connect, I hear. I am definitely curious what is going on in Oracle land partnershipwise
Sunir Shah
Between me you and the Internet, I’ve known the Oracle cloud team a long time ago and it grew and then closed down, and then grew again. This new iteration seems a lot stronger but I’m a bit blind to it.

What are your thoughts? It seems like they are doing good things.
Kayla McMillan
I've been with the company for almost a year now and I can attest that the cloud team has grown exponentially. Safra Catz herself believes the ISV Cloud team will be our most successful organization within the company over time.
Kayla McMillan
It's unfortunate we were so late to the cloud game, but nevertheless, we belong with the top competitors at this point.

It seems to me the lessons were well kept as Oracle kept iterating and improving. That’s fantastic to hear

Hello everyone! I'm GM/Director of Sales in AsiaPacific for MessageBird, we're a 1B Series C Cloud communications leader. Thousands of businesses use our Communications Platform to talk to with customers no matter what channel: Video, SMS, Whatsapp, PushNotifications, Email and more. Among other things, I expanded our ISVs program that has been focusing at SMS&Whatsapp (more channels now) and I believe ecosystems are the way to grow and escale platform businesses. Also worked with our key partnerships in the APAC region, from telcos to services like Deloitte/Accenturea and major Digital natives who are embedding our SDK/API into their apps/software. The question in our leadership's mind for the last 3 years is, how do get have a scalable motion that grows faster? I'm here to share experiences and find answers. Very excited to meet you all and please do not hesitate to reach out and have a 1to1, I'll do so myself. I found a lot of value in 'online coffees' with peers to exchange views in the industry.

I'm specifically interested in product-led growth plans and downmarket strategies. Look forward to meeting you all at SaaS Connect - and would love to meet up with anyone in the food capital of the U.S.

i had been working in France prior and fell in love with the European lifestyle. Spain had a visa process that i could use and i thought, may as well learn another language!
Micaela Richmond
oh that’s amazing I’ve been given a lot of recommendations recently to go to Spain, so I’m thinking of making it a must this year. I’ll definitely reach out to ask for recommendations!
Yonathan De La Cruz
Hi everyone I’m Yonathan,

I am a lead generator/outbound specialist. I have many years in this field. I have worked in B2B and B2C.

I recently started my lead generation business to help business owners have a predictable and stable sales pipeline for the sales team and the organization.

I believe that sales teams should stick to selling not prospecting, prospecting takes too much time and I essentially help teams save money and place a warm lead right in front of them.

Many organizations don’t have the time or resources to create an SDR team, this is where I step in and carry the load for you.

My specialty is helping Saas organizations do outbound calls (most likely the most hated thing in sales). You have to look for your customers they won’t just magically appear at your doorstep.

If you need my help or just wanna talk business send me a message so we can chat.
Savannah Costa
Hey @Yonathan De La Cruz! I manage a team of SDRs --

I'd love to connect with you to learn more about your prospecting services + also pick your brain on where you find success with prospecting. Are you open to connecting next week?
Savannah Costa
If you'd be willing to book time with me next week, I'd absolutely love to connect https://calendly.com/savannahcosta/meeting-with-savannah-costa-allbound
Yonathan De La Cruz
Nice to meet you @Savannah Costa ,

It's awesome you have an SDR team. I hope to have a team soon so I can help them become top reps and help them make money.

I will schedule something with you so you can pick my brain.

Have a wonderful day.

Talk to you soon.

Stephen J Collins
Hi everyone, I’m Stephen Collins a software engineering consultant. I joined the network as there seems to be a lot of passionate individuals who love cloud. My friends and I just launched a new SaaS offer called LogSail and I was hoping to find others who have been in the startup scene before.
Eric Sangerma
Hi @Stephen J Collins welcome to the group. What would you say are your biggest challenges right now?
Stephen J Collins
Hi Eric! Right now my biggest challenge is finding individuals who are willing to test our beta offer and provide feedback.
Eric Sangerma
And what would be your ideal customer?
Stephen J Collins
As of right now our ideal customers would be a company of 1-10 employees who do not have large financial/technical resources to monitor their cloud or on-premise infrastructure.

Our offer provides customers the ability to monitor basic metrics on their Linux servers with zero configuration. We are also developing a cloud cost optimization tool as cloud spend is a common pain point for companies.
Stephen J Collins
We’ve also developed a protocol to orchestrate monitoring agents from a central API. This makes the infrastructure more flexible as collection schemes can be changed at runtime. This means someone without significant sysadmin knowledge can change agent configurations all within a dashboard instead of over SSH.
Eric Sangerma
Very clear, thank you @Stephen J Collins, I can imagine such offer would indeed be interesting for early-stage startups.
Stephen J Collins
Thank you Eric. It has been a fun project so far!

So if you are looking to chat about anything as it relates to channel partner optimization and recruitment, let's jam!

I'm also a huge coffee connoisseur and have a Japanese-style cold brew coffee business, so maybe you'll get some freebies wink

@Stephen J Collins we work with a range of businesses that generally focus on cloud channel partnerships - we can help them do anything from surfacing small-mid size partners they should spend more or less time with, competitor benchmarking, and new product launches. Lots of use-cases still being defined, but just think about it as a robust dataset that can uncover many trends you might otherwise skip over.

Or happy to answer any questions you have here simple_smile
Stephen J Collins
Yeah this is cool. So Abrega integrates into a businesses SaaS product similar to Stripe? Or is this more of a “no code” payment solution for businesses to consume?
Boris [Abrega]
Our goal is for this to be a very developer focused integration like stripe. We will provide some out of the box UI elements, but the implementing company would need to ensure they have a robust API and commit to a long term vision.

Malene Linderoth
Hi simple_smile My name is Malene Linderoth (very happy to connect on LinkedIn) I am the co-founder and CEO of a Danish start-up called Boardplace. We are helping board of directors with their day-2-day board work and makes sure they shine when conducting their general assemblies. I am looking to understand which partners to best collaborate with in bringing my 2 products to the market both within the Nordics but also in the rest of the world. I have several years of experience within the life sciences and diagnostic industry so if anyone is in need of any input on these 2 areas feel free to reach out
Thor Thomsen
Hi Malene,

Welcome and always good to see a fellow Dane in here.

As an outsider without the deepest understanding of your products and market space i would look at the following avenue's to begin with as they seem to be the "low hanging fruits" in your space.

Associations:

As an example DGI in our own country has direct access to all the "Idræts foreninger" in Denmark and there's a huge movement towards digitalization in that space with GDPR and general legislation making it more complicated.

I would assume that there's similar associations to DGI in a lot countries, all having an interest in making it easier for their members to run their board meetings with in the legal requirements.

Legal associations:

In general where there's a board there's also a lawyer and i would think that it would be a very relevant product for them to offer as a part of making sure compliance is in place and easily handled.

Start-ups hubs:

Several companies specialises in advising early stage or growth companies, from the outside it looks like they would be a perfect fit for your product to allow growth companies to ensure compliance is in place with no hassle.

There's a lot more i am sure but the method is to look at whats at the core of your product, matching it with companies/associations that help solve that very problem. Your product should enhance their core product by improving their existing products and solutions or allowing them to offer something new.

Best of luck.
Malene Linderoth
Thank you so much Thor and very nice to meet you simple_smile
Sunir Shah
Welcome! 100% with Thor. Lawyers, startups, chambers of commerce are good. There are also platforms that let people set up corporations quickly like ownr.co in Canada; likely similar there.

Lawyers actually love to manage board meetings to keep clients on long-term retainer. You can channel sale through them, or have them incorporate the cost into the retainer.
Malene Linderoth
Thank you so much Sunir. Just back from another encounter with corona but will have a look at all your valuable input!

Liam Cosgrove dedoco.com
Hello everyone! Im based in Australia. Having been in Partnerships for several years I've joined a Web 3.0 business dedoco.com focused on Decentralising Documents for B2B and B2C (trust me its cool sunglasses).

Im building out the global programme currently and exploring first order principles and open source partner concepts to enable successful GTM.

And of course... looking to partner with some incredible tech - lets connect here or https://www.linkedin.com/in/liamcosgrove/

Look forward to meeting and speaking with you pray
Sunir Shah
Welcome Liam! How do you decentralize a document? It sounds like Napster or other p2p protocols from the days of yore.
Liam Cosgrove dedoco.com
@Sunir Shah thanks for the welcome and the question.
Liam Cosgrove dedoco.com
We are not looking at the decentralisation of the physical document (there are protocols in web3 that look at storing and sharing data - IPFS and Filecoin being the most prominent) - but this is not our intent.

We approach document decentralisation through taking Document-centric vs System-centric approach to document management:

How we do this? We decentralise the;

• Evidence relating to the chain of custody of a document (this is hashed on to a blockchain, which is then retrievable in real-time by simply having a copy of the document) • Democratise access to this evidence (public block explorer allows anyone to access the audit information, not beholden to a platform or organisation) • Transmission of documents when completing business processes or workflows (this is more infra related than web3) By making the document the trusted, immutable source of truth (if the docs been tampered with it cannot be validated) we move away from needing system trust and towards this idea of a verifiable "Non-Fungible Document" ("NFD").

At the system layer we also don't want to 'centralise' the document into our platform as this brings about data residency and 3rd party security concerns. Instead we enable the 'no-store transmission' of documents (i.e. a copy does not touch our server) to give users full control and residency of their data & docs.

If anyone would like to understand how this could impact your customer and the way documents are leveraged for a higher level of proof and trust, lets chat

Hi everyone. Based out of India.
Sourajit Ghoshal
I recently joined Scrut Automation as the Partnership and Alliance Manager. Am joining Scrut from TCS, where I have managed portfolio of partners and in my last stint was managing MSFT for UK geo.

At Scrut, we are helping SMB have a virtual CISO. We make Infosec Compliance easy, by automating most part of it. We are in the process of setting up the Partnership and Alliance team. looking forward to engaging with you all going ahead not only as a part of our GTM, but also to gain insights as to the best way of going ahead.
Sunir Shah
Welcome Sourajit! Who are your target partners?
Sourajit Ghoshal
Our partnership program is at a very nascent stage. Initially to gain some traction we are primarily looking at : • Referral : Audit/Law/Cybersecurity firms with whom we have a good intersection for customer base • Resell : Sell Through model.
Sunir Shah
That’s what I’m focused on right now if you’d like to chat about how to do it. Are you at SaaStr or the Bay Area this week? Otherwise, next week? calendly.com/sunir

Affiliate is different than agency/solution partner. Different motivations, needs, messages. But it’s not inscrutable.
Sunir Shah
Affiliates are about paying for brand awareness; solution partners are about co-selling to mutual customers.

Hi Everyone,

Just joined the group with an invite from @Sonya Bearson, I was recently part of a decent sized tech layoff and have been looking for a new role focusing on Partner Development/ and Growth.

I have about 10 years of experience focusing on Partnerships, working with technology companies with deep knowledge of integrations for quite a number of platforms, typically SAAS. I also have worked with building relationships with SI, Channel/Reseller and distribution vendors. I have worked with Enterprise as well as smaller relationships, having signed Partnerships with well known companies in several industries.

Although I have been interviewing, I've been recovering from some long covid issues that had affected my voice but I am around 90% and conversations are certainly improving each week and I suspect I'll be ready to take on an excellent role. Although I am in Canada, I am looking for a Global opportunity so certainly not limited.

Let me know if there are some great Partnership related opportunities out there that can use a well connected Partner Leader.

Thank you! Wayne
Michelle Juarbe
I hope you get better @Wayne Thompson
Wayne Thompson
Thanks Michelle! I actually have been doing much better during the last couple of weeks after taking a break letting things heal up. As much as I want to get something lined up, I needed to get better.

Hi Everyone, nice to meet you!

I work at Zoox Smart Data (www.zooxsmart.com) a big data company that specializes in doing Wi-Fi Analytics for Big Venues (Captive Portals) this is used to gather connecting technical, demographical, and psychological data (with their consent and respecting local privacy laws); with that info you can hyper-target your customers to deliver ads that are relevant to them on-site, during their connection process… this is know as Location Based Marketing (see image).

My intention is to network with all of you, if possible, create an alliance or get to know your resellers, since we only sell via partners, and we rarely go direct. We support most of hardware brands and requires no additional hardware investment if you already have a working Wi-Fi network.

tldr: - laid off from Asana, looking for a new opportunity - great at building partner programs from scratch and scaling them - 15+ years of project management experience - 7+ years in partnership roles - 4+ years in SaaS experience - team player, driven, resourceful - works well in ambiguous, scrappy environments - recent success: contributed over $1.1M in partner influenced and partner sourced revenue in 2022.

Hi all, Happy New Year! I recently got laid off from Asana and am looking for a new opportunity.

I love building partner programs and GTM initiatives and scaling them to drive pipeline and impact revenue. I have 15+ years of project management experience, 7+ years in partnership roles and 4+ years in SaaS experience. In my last three roles, I was hired to build partner programs from scratch. I’m a team player who is driven and resourceful and I work well in ambiguous, scrappy environments (My manager Bruno Yoffe can vouch for me). I embrace challenges and take calculated risks to solve them (I also fail fast, learn and grow quickly!). I enjoy growing long-term partner relationships and drive internal team adoption (my secret sauce for consistently exceeding quota), and always putting the customer’s needs first.

My most recent success was receiving an award for contributing the most partner-influenced revenue YOY at Asana. I contributed over $1.1M in partner influenced and partner sourced revenue in 2022. Having meaningful conversations and building (and iterating) a program and process is what gets me up and excited everyday.

Outside of work, I love to bake (tarts, cookies, cakes - I also won an award for someone who will most likely bring baked goods to the office!), hike and travel to learn about new cultures.

If I sound like someone who can add value to your team, I’d love to have a conversation. Please feel free to message me or add me on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/doreenleong/

Tim Monner
Hello Everyone, I am excited to join this Slack Community with all of you. My name is Tm Monner and I am the Director of Marketing for OpenMetal, an open source cloud services company that operates our of Virginia Beach, VA, Denver CO, and Los Angeles, CA. Our company has been working with SaaS companies and partners that are looking to reduce their cloud hosting bills by moving to an open source (OpenStack) platform. Our team has rolled out a new kind of cloud that essentially provides the benefits of a private cloud (you own your own environment - not shared) without the hardware management (it is a still a cloud), but also offers the ability to deploy in around 45 seconds, making to comparable to spin up about as fast public cloud. We call it On-Demand Private Cloud (on OpenStack) and we are excited to be working with SaaS companies and their development teams to learn more about this new cloud alternative.
Sunir Shah
welcome! OpenStack is very cool as a project. However, building a business model on FOSS is hard. Are you effectively selling the compute? I presume it’s in your data center somewhere.
Tim Monner
Sunir...Thank you for reaching out to me. Yeah, we have a very unusual service offering. Even the market analysts we have spoke to are trying to define us. Ultimately, our revenue will primarily come from is the bare metal hosted within on of our data centers. But we have built an open cloud software on top of those servers that will allow SaaS companies to spin up (or spin down) private cloud environments in less than a minute. This allows developers to get the security and cost-efficiencies of a private cloud model, but have the flexibility and scalability of public cloud model. And this is all cloud-native. The SaaS company is not managing hardware. It is a cloud they own, but do not have to manage. Except now they can use a private cloud environment quickly and get billed on an hourly, daily, weekly, etc. rate. It's not really public cloud or private cloud. It is something new and different. If you would like to jump on a call and discuss in more detail, I know our team would enjoy the opportunity to have that talk.
Samantha
Hi all, I’m Samantha! So excited to have joined this community. I have been working at BuzzBoard for many years now and am very proud of the extensive data we provide around the SMB space.

Jarret Tunnicliffe
Hello All Last year I made the intentional decision to push myself outside my comfort zone; to leave an employer and industry where I had built my reputation and relationships for more than a decade. I wanted to challenge myself to experience the uncertainty, ambiguity, and the build-the-rocket-ship-while-flying-it mindset that comes with a tech start-up, and joined Manifest Climate. While my time at Manifest stretched and challenged me in all the ways I had hoped, unfortunately it also acquainted me with the unpredictability of layoffs at a tech start-up. I was impacted by their recent layoff in mid February and I have taken the past several weeks to rest, recharge, and take stock of what’s important to me while considering what’s next.

I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s a reason I’ve always been drawn to partnership and sales work. My best work is done in pursuit of relationships that create positive sum outcomes and in collective environments where, even during challenging times, everyone is aligned and hyper focused on providing the absolute best product and service to clients.

It’s an uncertain world right now with layoffs, bank runs, and unsettled economic outlooks but if anyone is looking for a Partnerships or Sales leader with a long history of building meaningful relationships, creating inclusive sales teams and driving revenue, please reach out.

Hi, I’m excited and appreciative to be part of this group of amazing professionals. Partners and marketing are in my DNA, a claim I don’t make lightly.

Most recently as VP of Partner Marketing and Communications at SAP. Time sure does fly when you’re having fun!

earth_americas I am based in SF Bay Area and building a multi-party cloud billing solution for SaaS companies adopting flexible pricing models like usage-based, subscriptions, and usage-based subscriptions. tiers etc.

money_with_wings We are automating billing workflows both for customers & partners, especially in the cloud economy where everything is locked inside the SaaS products. We enable usage ingestion, metering, billing & revenue attribution with the click of a button for any pricing scenario.

Ask me anything about my product, and I would love to brainstorm with you to understand better some of the challenges you face with the Cloud pricing models.

handshakeI signed up for SaaS Connect and will meet with some of you on April 20th.

I am based in Colorado and am head of agency and tech partnerships at Shogun which is a top drag and drop page building app that sits on top of Shopify and BigCommerce. I am responsible for rebuilding the partnership program as we shifted to our main product and it is a different challenge for me than past partner programs as it is product led growth and more about 1:many vs. 1:1 partnership building. Would love for any advice on how to build out this type of program that is more marketing led than sales and getting it pushed out the the many whereas before it was more strategic. snowboarderFun Facts about me: I love snowboarding (thank goodness since it is winter 7 months out of the year), have a horse and 2 cattle dogs.

Would love to have you involved @Sunir Shah! We have different partnership and co-marketing tiers depending on your own goals and desired outcomes. Let me know what would make the event a huge success for you.

Michael Cole
Hi everyone, I’m the head of marketing at Everflow. We’re a partner marketing platform and provide tracking and analytics for the impact from partnership activities.

Lately we made tweaks to our referral program and it has been absolutely crushing it. We primarily focus our program on recruiting our happiest customers and asking them to make intros. If anyone has any questions on what works here, happy to share what we’ve found success with.
Tamara
Welcome to the community, Michael! Congrats on the success with your referral program! Any interesting tips to share with the rest of us? simple_smile
Michael Cole
One big one was that switching our referral structure from paying on % of revenue to paying on the lead and pipeline stages made a huge difference in accelerating the amount of referrals.

Most partners don’t care; however, the partners that do care - massively ramp up the referral efforts. It made a surprisingly large impact in the amount of referral customers we’re getting per month.
Paulo Santos
This sounds interesting @Michael Cole. Are you paying a flat fee per lead? You mentioned the pipeline stages, are you adding $ incentives to partners as leads progress through the pipe? Curious to hear more on how you’re deploying that model.
Michael Cole
@Paulo Santos Our current structure is $250 on the lead, +$500 on opportunity and +$1000 on the customer.

Changing the structure was more immediately effective than I expected (although that might be in part because it gave us another opportunity to actively push our referral program with customers).

We use our own platform for handling this, but it could be easily wired together on a small scale through the CRM into a spreadsheet using Zapier.
Paulo Santos
Cool stuff, this indeed a very interesting idea/strategy. What type of partner profiles you work with on this program?
Jerome Agnola
@Michael Cole: Good stuff and thanks for sharing. You mentioned "$250 on the lead" ...Is that an MQL or a Sales Qualified Lead?
Michael Cole
@Jerome Agnola Any lead, we’ve only had one partner where we had to do reversing and set clear rules on the leads. It’s fine to just be a lead as long as you’re setting expectations with what is reasonable for earning the payout.

Hello everyone!

I work at Luminoso. We are a sector agnostic text-analytics firm - looking at integrations and GTM partnerships with contact centers, market research companies, HR consulting firms, retail consulting firms, etc Our tool surfaces insights from unstructured text formats such as call logs, survey responses, product reviews, support tickets, etc. Looking forward to making great connections here!
Sunir Shah
Hi Prathik! Great to meet you. Great product as well.

From your point of view, what are the priorities for partnerships with your AI product? I’d _assume_ integrations and embedding, but I could be mistaken.
Prathik N Sunku
Hello Sunir! Thank you for your thoughtful question. Yes, embedding and integrations are our priority.

We are focusing on integrating with Call Center as a Software companies / Survey softwares / Social media management tools.

On a non-technical front, we are looking at partnering with Market research firms and marketing agencies to add value to their clients with our platform.
Sunir Shah
Market research firms is interesting; are they using your tool to do the qualitative analysis?

And how do marketing agencies use Luminoso with their clients? We run Agency Connect as well as SaaS Connect.
Prathik N Sunku
That’s interesting. Market Research firms use our tool for competitor / SWOT analysis, to analyse focus group and interview transcripts, etc. So that would be both on quantitative and qualitative levels.

Marketing agencies are able to identify common themes in customer conversations, understand what’s improving C-SAT, etc - based on this, they are able to develop customer centric messaging and campaigns.
Sunir Shah
I’m building a GTM campaign for marketing agencies with agencycocktails.com.
Sunir Shah
next event is INBOUND in Boston, Sept 6.
Prathik N Sunku
Looks awesome!
Sunir Shah
My biggest problem thanks to 2023's desert of funding is I have taken on a lot of the content work myself and so I’m relying on robots to analyze the podcast interviews for themes
Sunir Shah
The asset that agencies want the most, as far as I can tell, is a general map of what they can do to grow their business. There is no equivalent of pirate metrics for agencies that I can find. I have a fair amount of material on this subject, which is high value for them. Of course as SaaS vendors, we can provide tooling where applicable, so it makes more sense for them to talk to us. They really $#!#ing hate it when we solicit them to sell our stuff to their clients.
Prathik N Sunku
I completely understand and see where you’re coming from!
Sunir Shah
I wonder if I can use Luminoso
Prathik N Sunku

I’m travelling till the 10th. But I’ll definitely recommend it to my CEO!
Sunir Shah
I’d say it’s not so much competitive as confused.
Prathik N Sunku
Haha! Yes, Boston is pretty amazing.
Sunir Shah
Agencies want consistency. A straightforward way to sell services to make money. Most SaaS companies have not a clue how their software is used by customers, nor bought by customers, so it’s hard to make a repeatable process for an agency to implement their products. But that’s really the deliverable.
Sunir Shah
I’m working on building a template for SaaS companies to GTM with agencies that is free of fluff. I have an iteration here, http://sunir.org/enablement. I need to write a template for effective case studies and battlecards.
Prathik N Sunku
That makes so much sense! There needs to be some set of workflows to approach consistency.
Prathik N Sunku
I’m looking forward to our meeting.
Prathik N Sunku
We are launching an end to end GTM enablement service powered by our text Analytics platform. Would love to get your thoughts on that and exploring partnership avenues.
Michał Czapracki
Hi Everyone!

I'm the CEO at Scramjet. We're building Scramjet Cloud Platform, an award winning product (CloudX Best Innovation in Cloud Streaming & Processing) that provides an environment agnostic long lived streaming lambda solution that connects clouds, on-prem, edge and even tiny devices like RPi Zeros into one "virtual region". With our lambda's, called sequences, you can connect internal APIs and raw data in real time, even behind a firewall, with no additional VPNs or APIs. We're looking for partnerships in the area of general systems integration, especially in distributed cases, hybrid clouds and cloud migration. We're sector agnostic, but we've already worked with: video encoding and management, ERP integrations, ecommerce, AI/ML, industrial systems (Mini PCs), mapping software (GIS, routing, tracking) and smart transportation.

We can help with development to some extent, but we'd be happy to also find partners who could leverage our platform and develop software in our spaces.
Sunir Shah
Hi Michał! Nice to meet you. Besides direct sales and marketing, are you mostly going to market through system integrators right now or through cloud marketplaces or some other indirect channel?
Michał Czapracki
Hi Sunir! We are looking to put our sleeves up every now and then and work on customer cases. This is still a new shiny thing, and customer input is necessary to keep it highly applicable. Integrators are great where it comes to technological feedback, but we need to know our final customer too. Nevertheless we are looking for integrators willing to evaluate and try and we aim at this being our highest priority in the long term.
Sunir Shah
I hear you. My cofounder at AppBind and I decided it’s better to become consultants for now to get deep iterative feedback on what the platform can be.
Michał Czapracki
Yes. Also I think it's important to give your partners something that's up for the job. That's why it first cases are in video encoding (my background), machine learning and LLM (our CTO), e-commerce (CMO) and GIS (our COO). We have network in those areas and tested this during beta.
Michał Czapracki
I'm trying not to lose discovery opportunities, but we're all engineers and we never feel comfortable selling something we wouldn't buy ourselves. :)
Sunir Shah
Yup, I’m the same. I’m a computer scientist who ended up in marketing through a series of unfortunate life decisions.
Sunir Shah
This past year I’d be on sales calls half the day, and hacking through browser security and network security problems the other half the day
Sunir Shah
One thing I would say is that product positioning is much harder as an engineer, because we want to talk about the technical spec and solutions we built, not the change in the customers’ lives get from buying.
Emmet Gibney
Hello :)

I’m the CEO at Rewardful. Rewardful is a simple way for SaaS companies to set up affiliate and customer referral programs with Stripe & Paddle.

Our typical customer is a small to medium sized product led growth SAAS business with self-serve sign up using Stripe for their billing.

We’re typically looking for either affiliates to promote our product, or co-promotional partners who have a complimentary or non-competitive product.

If anyone is looking to set up an affiliate or customer referral program for their SAAS business I’m happy to offer some advice/ideas on best practice, whether you decide to use our software or not.

Cheers!
Sunir Shah
Hi Emmet, thanks for joining! I’d love to meet you. I’d like to focus on indirect go-to-market strategies going forward here at the CSA, including growing the referral / affiliate channel, which most of us could use better training on.
Emmet Gibney
Well we do have an integration with Launchpass simple_smile and ya, I think there’s probably a number of ways we could work together (looking at AppBind)

Hello everyone, I manage strategic SIs and Agencies at Vercel. Vercel is uniquely positioned to not only reimagine the frontend layer of the Web, but the processes built around it. One of the key features of Vercel is its ability to provide instant deployment and automatic scaling of applications, with no need for manual configuration or infrastructure management. This makes it a popular choice for developers who want to focus on building their applications, rather than managing the underlying infrastructure. Think of Vercel as an "Easy Button" for your Frontend deployment! Happy to chat partnerships with you all!
