FAQs
What is managed channel sales, and what does MarketSource do?
What does MarketSource’s partner onboarding process look like?
MarketSource’s onboarding approach is built to move partners from recruited to actively transacting as quickly as possible. Onboarding includes training partners on products, programs, and enablement tools; positioning the client’s solution competitively; reinforcing the partner business proposition; and demonstrating program and technical support. The goal is a partner who can effectively market and sell the solution from day one and deliver a predictable, high-quality end-customer experience.
What results has MarketSource delivered for channel sales clients?
MarketSource helped a global communications supplier generate more than $50 million in annual SMB revenue through their channel, while also increasing average sale size by 150% and delivering an ROI of over 340%.
How does MarketSource identify and recruit the right channel partners?
MarketSource uses a proprietary scorecard methodology to identify the right partners with the greatest revenue growth potential. By evaluating prospective partners against each client’s Ideal Partner Profile (IPP), we assess product fit, revenue opportunity, market alignment, and growth potential. This process confirms that the client’s solution is a strategic offering within the partner’s business—not a reflex or orphan product—while identifying partners best positioned to influence, fulfill, service, and expand sales over time.
What makes MarketSource different from other channel management solutions?
Unlike distributors, MarketSource is not distracted by other campaigns or competitive products. Every client receives a channel engagement team and optimized technology stack dedicated exclusively to their program. That focus translates directly into better partner engagement quality, stronger partner retention, and more consistent revenue outcomes than a distributor managing dozens of competing lines simultaneously.
What types of companies benefit most from MarketSource’s channel sales solution?
MarketSource’s channel sales solution is best suited for companies that sell through resellers, VARs, agents, distributors, or other indirect partners and need to accelerate partner recruitment, reduce partner churn, improve partner activation rates, or scale channel revenue without proportionally increasing internal headcount. It is particularly effective for organizations in technology, telecom, and other industries where indirect sales motions are a central to go-to-market strategy.
