Impartner Outlines Top 9 Attributes of a World-Class Channel Chief
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at the Cloud Channel Conference, Global SaaS Partner Relationship Management (PRM) Leader Impartner today launched a new eBook, "The Top Attributes of a World-Class Channel Chief." The guide, underwritten by Impartner and authored by leading tech journalist and Penton Technology Channel Content Director T.C. Doyle, provides a comprehensive look at the attributes required to be a top channel chief in today's market, which more and more must match that of other C-suite players or they risk channel performance that lags behind competitors and being replaced by leaders with a more contemporary skillset. Get your complimentary copy of the eBook here http://bit.ly/2j59Cfr.
"In 2017, compressed product cycles are evolving customers' needs and business models are undergoing significant reinvention – and the skill set needed for those who manage partner programs for vendors—aka 'channel chiefs' – is now much broader and more sophisticated than ever before," Doyle said. "It's not just enough to have a high Intellectual Quotient (IQ) or exemplary work ethic to succeed in this capacity; you need a high "Channel Quotient" CQ, which is a combination of nine attributes that include a range of both business and emotional skills."
In the eBook, Doyle not only outlines the nine attributes listed below, but also brings the power of these attributes to life with real-life examples of successes – and failures. The attributes are:
- Organizational Influence
- Business Acumen
- Decisive Leadership
- Technological Savvy
- Operational Efficiency
- Customer Orientation
- Personal Integrity
- Intellectual Curiosity
- Infectious Optimism
"We couldn't be more pleased to have partnered with someone with TC's long tenure in the market to bring this eBook to life to help channel chiefs be on top of the skill mix they need to compete in this critical position," said Dave R Taylor, Impartner chief marketing officer, noting that top channel chiefs worldwide have turned to Impartner's multi-award winning PRM technology as the No. 1 solution they rely on to accelerate their indirect revenue. "To echo TC's fourth attribute, being technologically savvy and leading the advancement of a company's channel tech stack is as important as any other change top channel chiefs can drive in their organizations."
