You can set bold goals and pick the perfect ecosystem motion, but if you can’t track what’s working or enable your partners to act, the whole thing falls apart.
This week’s ebook spotlight, Tracking, Enablement & Metrics: Making Ecosystem-Fueled Growth Work, is your no-BS guide to turning strategy into actual revenue.
The Real Reason Ecosystem Programs Stall
It’s not the goals. It’s not even the motion. It’s the follow-through.
You don’t have a real partner program unless:
You know what’s working and what’s not
Your partners have what they need to succeed
You can prove impact in ways that actually matter to leadership
This guide shows you how to do all three.
1. Tracking That Doesn’t Suck
Stop living in spreadsheet hell.
You need a closed-loop system that:
Captures referrals and partner-sourced leads without chasing people down
Automatically tags deals and updates your CRM
Is auditable, actionable, and tied to revenue
And yes, it has to work even when someone forgets to fill out the right form.
You’ll still need to check your data sometimes, but it beats hunting for deals in your inbox.
2. Enablement That Partners Actually Use
Most partner enablement is a one-time deck drop followed by radio silence. That doesn’t work.
Good enablement is:
Ongoing and contextual (not one-size-fits-all)
Focused on their success, not just your product
Easy to access, use, and revisit
From resellers to tech partners to influencers, this ebook gives you checklists and update cadences that work.
3. Metrics That Prove (and Improve) Results
Vanity metrics won’t get you budget.
This guide covers what to track instead:
Pipeline and revenue, not just activity around partnerships that's amorphous at best
Active vs. inactive partners
Time to first win
Conversion rates
Customer impact

If you can’t answer “who referred this, when, and did it close?” in under 30 seconds, you need this playbook.
Bottom line:
Execution is where ecosystem growth wins or dies. Track what matters, enable your partners well, and measure real outcomes. This guide shows you how.
