HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
Approach potential partners with a win-win proposal - Sean: "If you're scaling a small startup, maybe there's another one out there, maybe there's another one that's emerging, and you know for a fact that if we work together or we integrate or we work together and we come to an enterprise client, we'll be like, we're actually more cost-effective than an enterprise product here and a Salesforce."
Have a clear understanding of your partner's goals and metrics - Sean: "I think that is the key to a partnership is going in there and understanding. I know all the partner leaders that have been in partnerships much longer than me understand that going in there with a bigger product and a bigger player, what is that metric that helps drive them? Why did we integrate into the first place? And let's highlight all of these things with like a top-down approach."
