Why it matters

  • Enablement is what turns a signed partner into a producing one. Under-enabled partners quietly go dark.

Best practices

  • Train on the sales motion, not just the product.
  • Certify partners on real skills.
  • Refresh materials as the product evolves.
  • Keep support responsive — partners sell when they feel backed.

Common mistakes

  • A partner portal with no training.
  • One-time onboarding that never reinforces.
  • Materials that lag the product.

Key questions

  • Can this partner run the full motion competently?
  • What do they need to sell confidently?
