r:eThought’s Channel Marketing Practice designs and develops comprehensive and cost-effective channel programs for our clients.  

Seven of ten companies involved in channel or OEM relationships say these business relationships are unsuccessful at achieving their most desired result: increasing sales and revenue [1].  The structured methodology we use to design and implement channel programs begins with the sales engagement model and determines how channels can best enhance the sales process, as well as achieving other corporate objectives. We then work with our customers to develop strategies for partner programs, to identify and rank partners to focus activities, and to develop a reproducible program that allows for management of the largest number of partners with the most efficient use of company resources.
