What is partner relationship management?

Partner relationship management consists of your company’s practices and processes to manage its partner network. You use partner relationship management to improve your connections and ensure they are a win-win for all involved.

Partner relationship management is a broad category that encompasses multiple business functions, including partner life cycle, channel marketing, demand generation, business planning and sales enablement.

Why you need partner relationship management

Many communication service providers (CSPs) have become digital service providers, partnering with enterprises to develop innovative products and services that will transform healthcare, manufacturing, transportation and other industries. Managing these new B2B2X partnerships can be challenging—especially with outdated BSS systems.

You need a way to manage your company’s relationships with other businesses to help improve these connections and ensure they continue. Partner relationship management solutions support relationships across multiple verticals so you can provide better value to your customers.

Why you need to build a strong partner network

A robust network of partner relationships allows your business to stand out. When you partner with other companies, you can offer their products and services as an extension of your own, leading to increased revenue, higher customer acquisition levels and greater customer retention.

The benefits of partner relationship management

Seamless onboarding

By automating the onboarding process, you reduce the time it takes to add new partners to your network. Our PRM solution provides an intuitive self-service portal where your partners can quickly configure their services and access their reports and information.

Streamlined agreement management

Your PRM should be your and your partners’ one-stop shop for agreements and billing processes. It should also provide access to your product catalog and allow for automated ordering and management.

Easy invoicing

Use your PRM to set up multiple settlement schemes and streamline invoicing for faster payments.

Maximized revenue

A PRM should maximize your company’s revenue through partnerships. You can use the platform to create guaranteed revenue minimums to keep your partners happy. You can also use your PRM to provide discounts and rewards to high-performing partners.
