In this Lean Partnerships webinar, Kyle from LittleTaller, Louise, and Jon Mead, Founder and CEO of PartnerBridge, dive into what it really takes to recruit the right partners.
They explore why quantity is not the same as quality in partner programs, how to define your Ideal Partner Profile, and why most partnerships fail after the contract is signed. The conversation covers practical strategies for partner discovery, crafting a compelling joint value proposition, onboarding effectively in the first 30 days, and maintaining momentum through clear goals and shared action.
If you are building, relaunching, or scaling a partner program, this session offers tactical insights on moving from partner volume to partner value and building partnerships that actually drive revenue.
