Channel Readiness Assessment eBook to Increase Channel Sales

What is a Channel Readiness Assessment?

A Channel Readiness Assessment is a methodical approach to evaluate if your partner sales channel is truly ready and enabled to deliver the goals and objectives that you have established. 

When should you use this approach?

You can use this process anytime to evaluate your partner sales channel. However, I would recommend that you use this approach in any one of the following scenarios:

• Bringing a new product or offering to market

• Expanding geographically into a new country or region

• Launching a new or revised channel program

• The existing partner sales channel is underperforming

What is in the eBook?

The Channel Readiness Assessment eBook is a structured guide that walks you through the key elements of your channel program to identify where you may have “readiness” gaps that are inhibiting, or could inhibit, your channel’s sales performance.
