Is anyone in this group from Silicon Valley?? A few of my colleagues are heading over to the US and will be in Silicon Valley from the 17th-19th September and would love to chat with Engineering Managers/Teams, Product Design Teams or Executives in Engineering/Product/Sales.

They would like to talk to companies that are at least 45 HC, with some hard won lessons about scaling their engineering teams, or someone with experience with global expansion, or have successfully dealt with challenges such as rapidly growing customer base with a high-touch implementation and how they pivoted away from that successfully.

Would anyone be interested in catching up with our team or know someone who would? DM me if you do simple_smile I would be eternally grateful and we would love to reciprocate if you're ever in Brisbane!
Sunir Shah

It's free to attend, feel free to shoot me an email at if you have questions. The event is called the ISV Connect Summit (I know, it could use a better name!) https://www.cvent.com/c/express/74fb6dd3-7515-4fed-9c11-77c2ee4c3483

Hi all,

We are hosting a SaaS Partnership networking event in NYC.

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/new-york-city-saas-partnerships-channel-meetup-tickets-74916773085

I ask to please only attend and share if you are working as a leader in partnerships and hold off if you are working for a partner PRM system for the time being. This is a happy hour designed to plan future events where we can open things up to a broader audience.

Please slack me any questions.

Shout out to @Lisa Thoman Lawson for blazing the trail in SF

This is great!

Hope to see you there.
Shannon K. Murphy
Of course, we all love going to Meetups to talk to those in our industry or those who are also curious about new subjects or trends. I've made a lot of contacts I would now call friends doing this. But I'm curious to know how some translate that to sales. Meaning, converting the person you enjoyed talking to who is also PERFECT for your product/service. How do you take it to the next level in a way that still feels natural and friendly, not pushy? Thanks!
Travis Bradley
Hi all, gentle reminder of our NYC SaaS Partner meet up at Empire Stat, link above!

Niall Jones
Hi, you’re very welcome to join this 2nd weekly and free (virtual) edition of Executive Peer Spaces - that I’ve been running around a dinner table for a couple of years now - it’s tomorrow (Tuesday) evening at 6pm London time… You’ll have a few minutes to introduce yourself, say a bit about what you’re focus is on at the moment, and to share an 'ask' if you have one. Later there will also be an opportunity to do a short ‘pitch to the peers' - a business, an idea for one or an offer, and gather input, feedback or arrange follow-ups. You can share your slides on the screen. It's inclusive and virtual, so you're welcome from wherever you are. Numbers that can speak/pitch are ultimately limited but we try to accommodate everyone. Just register here if you’re going or interested (Zoom details are in the event): https://www.facebook.com/events/837167696789329  As a bonus I’ve asked an old coaching friend, Stuart Doughty, to join us to speak about “How to think, behave and keep thinking positively in these times of uncertainty.” Should be some time for a short discussion and Q&A around this too.
Alex Sirota
God it's dead in here - so sad cry

@here Looking to meetup with SaaS partnership leaders while at home? We created the #coffee-time channel which will pair you up with another CSA member every other Monday at 10am PT, starting next Monday.
Noah Green
@channel Events are Vetoed but that doesn’t mean networking has come to an end!

With everyone adjusting to how they interact and consume content, there’s more opportunities to meetup now so more than ever without even leaving the house… What have you attended virtually recently? What did you enjoy about it?

Interested to hear you’re thoughts and see where you’re off to virtually as partnership folk, when thinking about networking!

p.s point_right I was speaking to #uk about doing a Zoom meetup, there’s no reason why we can’t open this up to everyone to socialise and get to know each-other a little better outside of the day to day. Interested?

Let me know in the thread.
Robert Rand
In the last week, I've attended DCKAP Summit, an eCommerce Atlanta meetup, and other virtual gatherings. While I live in virtual meeting spaces, and host a video podcast and speak on webinars, I didn't have the highest hopes for digital meetups being very productive, but I've been pleasantly surprised.

It's been really great to connect with folks that I'm not getting to see in the field, and it's leading to some great follow-ups outside of the group gatherings. I've also noticed that it's broadened the audience for these gatherings that would have otherwise been at a specific physical location, since travel time and expense are not an issues.

I think that a Zoom meetup could be very valuable for association members, especially if we can have some breakout rooms (assuming that the attendance is too large to keep everyone in one room during the networking portion of a meetup).

James Sandoval (MeasureMatch)
In the past couple of weeks I attended/participated in a pair of Zoom-driven Digital Analytics Hub events that were really excellent.

I've been a fan of these events when they were hosted in Berlin (since then done in Austin and other parts of the US and EU), but the virtual events were just as great, if not better.

The last one was done out of Munich: https://www.digitalanalyticshub.eu/munich

The one before out of Copenhagen: https://www.digitalanalyticshub.eu/copenhagen

Here are the details for the next in-person event in Berlin in June: https://www.digitalanalyticshub.eu/

I've been a fan for nearly 10 years. Highly recommended.
Manoj Ranaweera
Would there be value in having a session with Techcelerate companies? Sort of US meeting UK. Maybe discuss integrations, partnerships, how to access for our UK tech companies and how to access UK for US companies. What do you think @Sunir Shah @Stewart Townsend - Channel.Vision?

We run workshops every Wednesday so a Wednesday would best work for us
JJ Eggers
best one I have done so far was a Marketo Happy Hour over Zoom, with a good host it works well getting everyone involved.
Shawn Ragell
Can I ask what made it stand out?
JJ Eggers
for a group of people that mostly did not know each other they were friendly and were able to keep an active conversation going that included everyone who was on the call.
Jeff Mattan
Hi All. First message from me, Jeff Mattan.

I've recently joined this channel and am looking forward to learning how I can contribute. My background includes 15-20 years of designing, deploying and managing partner programs, enablement and operations to help companies scale via indirect sales channels. Think of me and my team as the folks in the engine room helping make your partner/ channel managers and their distribution partners successful.

@Bryn Jones really enjoyed the Partnerships Summit, thanks for hosting! I wasn't able to attend the whole event, so was hoping to watch some of the recordings. Do you know when they might be sent out (or how to get them if they're already available)? Side note - we're launching our ambassador program next week via PartnerStack raised_hands
Bryn Jones
Hey @Chase W! I really appreciate your kind words. The team is working to get the video sessions out later today, so you should receive an email shortly.

Very exciting about the ambassador program, I know the team is working with you to make it successful but feel free to message me directly if there's anything I can do to help.

@Lisa Thoman Lawson, these sessions look great. Is there a partner executive you can connect me with who's attended your sessions previously that can discuss their experience? I'm interested in attending the Sept NYC Executive session, which I assume will be remote, but want to ensure it makes sense based on 1st hand experience.
Lisa Thoman Lawson
Hi! Yes, of course. I'll reach out to a few today!

Robin Seidner
I am not from there. Also just a big fan of the area!
Aleksi Mattlar (Vena)
@Tom Newton definitely in. also @James Sandoval (MeasureMatch) ill check it out
Ryan Raffel
Hey @Aleksi Mattlar (Vena), I don’t know any partnership folk in Kelowna, but one of the best CrossFit athletes on the planet lives there and is a super nice and awesome guy to boot, Brent Fikowski. Maybe worth trying to say hi sometime if you need a quick breather from partnerships
Aleksi Mattlar (Vena)
@Ryan Raffel thanks will engage him in a pull-up contest

June - Denver
Robert Rand
Anytime - South Florida beers
James Sandoval (MeasureMatch)
I’m in Rome at the moment, and I just read that our region, Lazio, will likely move from “orange” to “white” on/around 14 June; this means restaurants can serve folks indoors and a bunch of other restrictions fall away, too. But, even now is ok to meet for drinks - the weather is fabulous and there are heaps of outdoor options wink. Who wants to join me?
Reid Robinson
September indoors, August outdoors in Vancouver.

Amir Karmali (Daylite)
Toronto - almost ready. July most likely.
Travis Bradley
@GiladShoham I am free next Tuesday
Steve Stewart / Smartsheet Channel Chief
I do think it is a regional answer. In Colorado the time to meet for drinks is now. We are definitely opened up ! We have 70% of adults in Boulder with the Vax, including me. [55% statewide] syringe I was in Seattle last week, and I would say August for biz drinks in Seattle.
Bharat Chopra - orangeKarma
Now. New York City. So many great outdoor and roof deck options.
Cristina Flaschen
This!
Bharat Chopra - orangeKarma
@Cristina Flaschen, let’s schedule something soon!! I say we pick a date, see who RSVPs and then decide if it’s in Brooklyn or lower Manhattan based on the attendees. June 24th?
Cristina Flaschen
@Bharat Chopra - orangeKarma sure, maybe some time in July? I bet I can get @Kelly Sarabyn to join as well, even if she’s from Philly wink
Kelly Sarabyn
Yes, I'll come! If we're doing July, does July 15th work? To bypass the holiday week...
Peter Stumpo
I agree with @Steve Stewart / Smartsheet Channel Chief with it being regional. I am up in Toronto (Canada) and we are just on our way out of a lockdown tomorrow.
François Grenier
outdoors in the bay area now. indoors in a "fully relaxed" mode by june 15th if i get that timeline right
Sandhya Gorman
San Jose, after June 15th. Still planning on practicing some level of social distancing and mask wearing since there is no way of knowing who is vaccinated or not
Ryan Lunka
Ohio is opened all the way back up, basically back to normal. Pretty easy to get a vax, and I think we’re at about 50% fully vaccinated. The $1mm lottery that Governor DeWine and company set up actually had a nice impact on the vax numbers, from what I’ve seen.
Ryan Lunka
Bonus: At our open bars you can get a good whiskey cocktail for less than $45. (Gotta throw some shade at the coastal cities. simple_smile )
Carolyn Williamson (CommentSold)
Alabama gets you a nice bourbon cocktail under $20!

Hey ya'll... next week I'm jumping into the "End of Year Playbook for Channel Managers". Got about 70 people coming so far. We'll spend about 45mins walking through what to say and do to get your channel partners committed to action (and selling for you) in 2023.

A follow up to my last post...

It wasn't too long ago I was a solo partnership manager trying to figure things out on my own. Then I started networking with people like... the more time I spent learning from others, the better my life and job became.

And one thing I learned along the way...

Without an annual partner planning process, it was hard to stay focused / aligned with partners and hit goals. Which is where I got the saying "NO plans, NO promises!!"

That's why next Wednesday I'm meeting with Larry Walsh (frm Channelnomics) and Frie Pétré (frm Qollabi) to go through their "end of year playbook" for partner and channel managers.

Wanna come?? There's a calendly link in the comments.

I want to help our partner community avoid "that sinking feeling" that comes from unkept promises and missed revenue targets.

So I've asked them to give us a 45 min a walk through of their arrow_down

[1] Minimum Viable Partner Plan (MVPP) [2] The picking / prioritizing partners process [3] What to say and do to get alignment [4] (#)1 way to turn conversations into commitments [5] What we need to know about boosting MDF in 2023

fire Also, Frie has a pretty cool "mutual action plan" template in google sheets. If you can make it to the meetup, I'm sure he'll share it with you too.
