Introducing Banzai Reach for Partners

Banzai Reach for Partners is here to maximize partner event success. The simple and effective platform supports partners in creating successful events and drive quality partner-sourced leads.

The Partner Marketing Challenge

Partner programs are a powerful tool. Amy McCarthy Strategic Partner Marketing Lead at Magento wrote that successful partner programs help your partners “gain more visibility, business growth, and validation.”

Managing an effective partner program is not easy. It’s up to partner marketers to keep their partners educated about the latest offerings, and channels, and product news. They have to meet the expectations of multiple stakeholders (both internal and external) and prove the ROI of the program.

This is where Banzai comes in.

Building a Complete Partner Program

In 2016 Sam Harkness, Former Director of Alliances at Marketo, wrote about the core principles that make up a productive partnership program. These concepts still hold true today. A partner program should focus on:

1. Partner Recruitment - finding and onboarding quality partners
2. Partner Enablement - making sure your partners have the tools and resources they need to add value
3. Partner Commitment - Incentivize and support your partners. Demonstrate your commitment to maximizing their success

For those who have an established partner ecosystem and want new and effective ways to support their partners, Banzai enables partners to drive value through their events.

Banzai Reach for Partners is a turn-key solution for partners to increase quality registrations and simplify event management. It is a simple way to allocate channel development funds. Partner marketers can easily track the ROI of partner events directly in the platform.

The Banzai platform will make you a marketing hero for both your partners and your team.
