🎉 It’s okay to get excited about partnerships!

In SaaS, excited partners > incentivized partners.

They are your advocates, your champions, and your loyal allies in the market.

If you figure out the right incentives on top of how to properly drive engagement, trust, and excitement, you’re definitely on track to success.

Thanks for contributing to this section of the PhD, Rob Rebholz.
