What advice would be useful to a CEO planning to develop a channel partner strategy in Europe?
Practical, step-by-step plan a CEO can act on now:
- Set clear goals and partner profiles: define ARR targets, customer segments, and partner types (distributor, value-added reseller, system integrator, MSP).
- Market map: prioritize 2–4 countries (consider language, GDP, vertical concentration, EU vs non-EU rules: UK/Switzerland implications).
- Economics and contracts: design tiered margins, deal-registration, MDF rules, SLAs and simple master reseller agreement with local VAT, currency and tax clauses; involve local counsel for GDPR, export controls and post‑Brexit customs.
- Enablement: build a partner portal, certification path, sales kits, pricing calculators, and 90-day onboarding playbook. Assign a local channel manager.
- Pilot and measure: run a 3–6 month pilot with 2–3 partners; track KPIs (partner-sourced revenue, pipeline velocity, enablement completion, churn).
- Scale: refine incentives, co-marketing, joint business plans and roll out across additional countries based on pilot ROI.
Which two or three European countries and which product or customer segment do you want to target first?
