As companies grow and evolve their channel ecosystem, the demands from partners in turn evolves. While a startup might offer a partner portal and deal registration to entice new channel partners, a more established vendor will need to offer additional programs to accelerate their growth. In short, these can range from incentive and spiff programs to create partner loyalty to MDF and rebate programs to support partners with their market development and sales efforts. While established vendors entering new markets might consider promotional offers along with pricing and discounting programs. All in all, knowing the correct mix of programs to support your level of maturity, at any given time, can be a little perplexing.
