We help you...

...create a formidable strategy and plan

We are one of the top 10 channel partner program experts in the world. Our experience and deep knowledge will help you design and execute a hugely successful one.

Methodology and process

A world-class growth creation journey

We help you create a unique and optimised partner program

It doesn’t matter how complex your business, product or service is, our proven methodology and processes will help you create a partner program that will enable you to swiftly reach your objectives and goals.

Step 1

Understanding your business

We get to know your business in detail by training with you and reading up.

Step 2

Workshops & data collection

In a series of workshops, we guide you through a discovery process. We define detailed ideal partner profiles and dig deep into their jobs to be done, their pains, and the gains they seek. We map buyer and sales processes. We also discuss what creates trust, what tools are needed to facilitate a customer’s journey, and make a plan of what you need to create for your partner program.

Step 3

Your strategy document

We collect all conclusions and create a strategy document that you can use to educate internal and external stakeholders. The document is often used by partner, marketing and management teams.

How we help you through Step 1-3

Facilitation

We help you to hold focused discussions, and gather and process data and information. All this is used to draw the conclusions that will shape the design of your partner program.

Expert advice

Our wide experience enables us to bring examples and wisdom from other partner programs. We use learnings from past programs to ensure yours will be even better.

Prioritisation

Our superpower is to help you understand what should be communicated and in what order. The information must be prioritised to make it understandable for the partner.

Step 4

Creating the tools you need

We help you create partner program presentations, onboarding processes, website texts, and other tools you will need to launch, run and manage a successful partner program.

Step 5

Approval and joint decision

Through feedback, discussion and iterations we will create a final version of the partner program and tools.

Step 6

Launch

‍The partner program is launched once you approve everything. We will assist in educating and training your team and ensure that each one of them understands how they can help your partners to be successful.

Step 7

Post-launch coaching and iteration

We will coach your team and ensure they learn to use the tools and follow the designed processes. Your team will provide feedback for potential improvements. We will process these and help to implement improvement iterations.

What you can expect from your partner program

What we did

LiveU

Due to its global presence, LiveU had a fragmented partner team that had different approaches in different regions. We helped LiveU create a global partner strategy, processes, tools, presentations, instructions, and much more to increase sales efficiency.

Sinch

USL has collaborated with Sinch on partner programs twice. In the first instance, we helped Sinch create a strategy, updated product packaging, and a partner innovation program focused on Application Service Providers (ASPs). The program enabled Sinch to create deep relationships with some of the world’s largest ASPs. In the second instance, we worked with Sinch to manage its relationship with solution providers – a key part of the company’s efforts to provide better service and more complex solutions to its enterprise clients. As part of this project, we helped Sinch develop a strategy, create value propositions and presentations on how to establish and manage strong relationships with some of the world’s largest system integrators, solution providers, and CX agencies.

Appland

Appland provided an app store platform as a service to mobile network operators. We created, deployed, and managed a sales, marketing and channel partner strategy for the company. The result: Appland acquired over 100 of the world’s most important mobile operators as its customers.

MuchSkills

This start-up – which offers organisations a skills management and employee strengths visualisation software – is Up Strategy Lab’s baby. We came up with the concept, designed the digital product, filed a patent, created the brand, managed development, created and executed marketing, partner program and sales.
