Launched a partner program
A company launches or relaunches a partner, reseller, affiliate, or referral program.
A new partner program needs partners, tooling to track them, content to enable them, and a way to measure what they source. It also signals the company wants growth that does not depend on its own sales team.

An opening line, to show the angle. It never goes out as written.
New partner programs usually get their first 10 partners easily and stall at 20. If agencies are part of the plan, we may be a good fit for yours.
- Email: Offer to become a partner, or to help the program find and enable them.
- LinkedIn outreach: Connect with the partnerships lead, usually a new or recently promoted role.
Where it goes wrong
