Use Case

Partner Enablement & Activation

Unlock long-tail partner potential, maximize MDF ROI, and grow pipeline.
Our Use Cases

Overview

B2B ecosystems depend heavily on partners — yet 80% of partner-sourced revenue often comes from just 20% of partners, leaving the long tail underperforming. At the same time, up to 60% of MDF (Market Development Funds) go unused because partners lack ready-to-execute campaigns.

Without activation, partner potential stays locked, while competitors seize market share through stronger ecosystems.
Challenges

Partner Enablement Challenges

Untapped long-tail partners

Most vendors over invest in their top 10–20% of partners, ignoring the growth potential of mid-tier and emerging players.

Wasted MDF funds

Co-op and MDF budgets go unused because partners lack the resources, campaigns, or know-how to execute programs effectively.

Fragmented partner enablement

Static portals and content libraries rarely translate into action — partners need turnkey, co-branded campaigns they can deploy instantly.

Attribution blind spots

Even when partners drive demand, it’s often difficult to track ROI or assign pipeline credit.
