Channel Partner Recruitment: How do we do it?

We understand the Channel and what drives them.

The first, and often most critical step in channel recruitment, is to identify the optimal channel partner profile. Winn can work with you to analyze your market, model, and solutions to help define that profile. From there, we can undertake the research necessary to build a target company and contact database. We can even get this started with a search of Winn's proprietary Channel database.

Just like you, Resellers are always interested in growing their revenues. Winn will contact them for you with a compelling proposition that will earn them valuable new revenue streams and expand their solution offerings - ultimately growing their business, and yours!

Not only will Winn look to recruit new partners to your team, but through a multi-faceted approach, we will confirm each prospective partner's match by gathering key Business Intelligence, qualify their level of interest, and attempt to setup an opportunity or appointment for more detailed discussions about the partnership opportunities with you.

We've worked with more than a few recognizable names in the technology sector to do just this, including:

  • Arrow ECS
  • Sage
  • HP
  • Onstream
  • VMware
  • Attunity
  • Exabyte (Tanberg)
  • StorageTek
  • Palm
  • Verneier Networks
  • Motient
  • Apple Computer
  • Siemens
  • Stratus Technology
  • Information Management Research
  • Extreme Networks
  • Cisco
