Partner KPI

A specific performance metric used to evaluate individual partner impact, such as sourced revenue, close rate, or campaign engagement.
Explanation:

A Partner KPI (Key Performance Indicator) is a specific, measurable performance metric used to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of an individual partner within your program. These KPIs help you assess how well a partner is contributing to critical goals such as revenue growth, lead generation, deal conversion, or campaign engagement.

Key examples of Partner KPIs often include:

  • Sourced Revenue: The total amount of revenue directly generated through partner-sourced leads or deals.
  • Lead Volume and Quality: The number of leads submitted and the percentage that convert into qualified opportunities or closed deals.
  • Close Rate: The ratio of partner-submitted opportunities that progress to closed-won deals.
  • Campaign Engagement: Metrics such as email open rates, event attendance, or content downloads from partner-led marketing initiatives.
  • Training and Certification Completion: The percentage of required training modules or certifications completed, indicating readiness and commitment.
  • Portal and Tool Usage: Frequency of logins and interaction with enablement tools, reflecting active engagement and operational participation.

Partner KPIs are critical for optimizing partner ecosystems in SaaS, technology, and services industries. They help partner managers prioritize enablement, incentive programs, and relationship-building efforts based on real, measurable contributions to business outcomes.
