The Inside Scoop on Partner Ops

Ever wish you could be a fly on the wall in partner operations and programs across the globe? This week, we officially launched the State of Partner Ops and Programs for 2022, taking in the insights from 650+ partner professionals and executives.

This report includes:

  • The most common and most valued partner types.
  • Insights on how organizations are managing partner programs.
  • Advice from 10 executives from leading ecosystems like Xero, Asana, Channel, and ZoomInfo.
  • And much more juicy partnerships in-depth topics.

We designed this report to help you and your partner program skip the failures and have a streamline to success.

“This is exactly the data that we need to illuminate our community so that we can all win together, ” shared Desmond Russell of Partner Elevate. “No doubt we will all take our own point of view about the data and continue some robust discussions and even build on this.”

Get ready for the new holy grail of partnerships! You can download it here.
