# Partner & Channel Operations
## The Partner Operating Model
Partner-driven revenue is becoming table stakes in B2B SaaS. The data is clear: partner-involved deals close 46% faster and are 53% more likely to close (Crossbeam State of Partner Ecosystem, 2023; 500+ GTM leaders), producing 32-60% larger deal sizes (Introw, 2024; Crossbeam case studies). Mature programmes source 25-40%+ of total revenue, and partner-involved accounts are 58% less likely to churn (Crossbeam, 2023). But most partner programmes fail. Not because of bad partners, but because of bad operations.
The operating model has five components:
```
1. PROGRAMME DESIGN: Who do we partner with? What's the structure?
2. PARTNER ENABLEMENT: How do we make partners successful?
3. CO-SELLING OPERATIONS: How do we work deals together?
4. PARTNER PIPELINE OPS: How do we track and manage partner pipeline?
5. PARTNER PERFORMANCE: How do we measure, review, and optimise?
