Organizations selling through the channel need to focus on building core processes related to partner relationship management (PRM). Typically, partner relationship management activities include partner recruitment, onboarding, training, marketing enablement, sales enablement and incentives management. The nature of these activities varies considerably across industry verticals. Also, there are various types of channel partners—including dealers, agents, resellers, franchisees and so on—depending on the vertical in question.
