Channel Partnerships: What’s In Store For You At Jungleworks

Partnerships in Businesses Today

Partnerships can mean a lot of different things in today’s day and age. It could be two companies coming together to help each other with their unique specialization or an individual joining hands with a SaaS provider to distribute its products around the globe. Essentially, partnerships have become more conducive to the changing rules of business and companies no longer want to do everything from scratch when there are experts who can do it for them.

Types of Partnerships:

In the context of an on-demand business, here are the four primary types of partnerships you need to know about:

Channel Partnership

A channel partnership involves a company selling products and services on behalf of a technology manufacturer or vendor. Typically, these products/services include hardware, cloud computing solutions, traditional software, or Software as a Service (SaaS).

In a channel partnership, the channel partner is considered a part of the vendor’s indirect sales team. This means that while they’re selling products or services on behalf of a vendor, they’re an independent company. A channel partner can engage with different vendors and sell products and services produced by them, along with selling products they develop themselves.

Affiliate Partnership

In an affiliate marketing partnership, one business shares a tracking URL with another to independently drive traffic or conversions for them. The incentive depends on the business and could be anything from revenue or lead share to a flat fee. An affiliate partner earns a commission by promoting other businesses products or services. Essentially, as an affiliate partner, you promote a product to others and earn a piece of the profit for every sale that you make.

Reseller Partnership

A reseller partnership involves a third party (reseller) who is hired to sell a company’s products or services. For instance, if you buy chocolates from a grocery store, you’re dealing with a reseller partnership. In this case, the grocery store is a partner selling chocolates on behalf of the manufacturer for a commission. In the SaaS (Software as a Service) startup world, reseller partnerships function in a similar manner but with a few more rules and regulations.

SaaS Partnership

A SaaS partnership doesn’t involve just one type of agreement but a variety of options, depending on how the partners wish to interact. For a SaaS provider, traditional partnerships don’t work for a variety of reasons. Instead, SaaS companies have partners in one of the following categories:

• Advocate partners – In this type of partnership, your partners  will recommend your product only when it makes sense and not push products incessantly
• Strategic partners – Here, the patterns and business work together for common goals and are generally aligned around the same values and vision
