all the tips & tricks to equip your sales teams with partner data
01
Partner Data = Intent
Signals from partners, such as purchases, upgrades, usage, and NPS, indicate when a prospect is aware of problems and solution-aware.
02
Sales Ops Should Build the Enablement
Automations and messaging must be crafted thoughtfully by partner teams, not dumped on sales without context.
03
Automation Is Powerful, but Only With High-Quality Messaging
The wrong message can break trust with a partner and their customer.
04
Training Is the Missing Link
Sellers adopt partner signals when they understand them, and when success stories are shared across the team.
05
Tools Will Become Essential
Platforms like Kiflo and Crossbeam integrate signals directly into sales workflows, making adoption easier.
"Partner data is effectively no different from any other intent signal—except it’s stronger, because partners are closer to the customer."
