Deal registration is a core part of channel programs for more than 90 per cent of B2B vendors. In fact, it is one of the first programs partners will look for as they seek assurance they can lay claim on opportunities that they have generated through their own efforts.
In the channel, it takes time, effort and cost to recruit, on-board and develop partners to a level where they can make sales and bring revenue to the table. Considering the work involved to get to this position, it is never a good time to take your eye off the ball and allow these partners to fail. Or worse still, to be enticed by your competitors. Therefore, building and sustaining partner loyalty is key to success for vendors leveraging the channel. And implementing the right deal registration program, is a key step for success.
Properly motivated and rewarded partners act as a seamless extension of a vendor and can quickly create the desired reach and revenue in new markets and end customers, not previously attainable. Motivating, rewarding, and protecting these partners are key elements in building and sustaining partner mindshare and loyalty.
Providing partners with a Deal Registration Program to firstly ensure they receive an exclusivity period to work the deal, and secondly, a reward to close the deal, creates trust with partners. While at the same time, it provides the vendor with clear visibility into the sales pipeline. The absence of such a program opens the door to channel conflict and friction between the direct and indirect teams.
