Partner marketing often fails

Not because your campaign wasn’t good...

But because you swam against the partner marketing stream.

Imagine the buyer’s journey as a river:

• Customer first buys their CRM.
• Then, their webinar platform generates leads.
• Finally, a tool to launch post-event feedback surveys.

If you are a webinar platform, your survey integration partners won’t send you any new customers.

Why?

Because by the time a customer floats down into their inbox, they already have a CRM and Webinar platform!

Upstream partners talk to your ideal customers before the current pushes them past you.

Cast your co-marketing net in the right place. 🎣

Shout out to Ben Wright for the river metaphor! 🌊
