A Guide to Successful Independent Reseller Programs

Key Takeaways

Regain control through alignment
Learn how to transform passive external partners into active product ambassadors by aligning their actions with your specific KPIs.
Prioritize tangible connections
Offering experiential and tangible rewards can help you build long-term B2B loyalty and shared value.
Leverage high-touch technology
Specialized platforms like IncenTrac® can ensure transparency, facilitate ease of use (via the “3-click” standard), and provide data-backed ROI.

In fact, 75% of global trade comes directly from indirect sales channels. But working with external partners also relinquishes some level of control since these resellers aren’t part of your core team.

You can regain control, however, by implementing proven independent reseller programs that drive desired behaviors, adhere to organizational goals, and provide comprehensive incentive solutions. In no time at all, your resellers will become so aligned with your objectives that they’ll feel like an extension of your in-house team.
