Amazon Consulting Aids Technology Companies in Elevating the Impact of Partnering with New Thought Leadership Brief and Assessment Tool

Mountain View, CA (Vocus) September 16, 2010

Amazon Consulting, a leading partnering services firm dedicated to helping companies elevate the impact of partnering, recently published a thought leadership brief and self-assessment tool to help technology companies identify their current phase of partnering maturity and development path. By identifying the stage of partnering maturity, vendors will gain a clearer understanding of the roadmap needed to elevate their channel impact and overall company success. Most organizations fit into one of five stages of partnering maturity; companies within each stage face similar pain points in leveraging their partnerships, and need to take similar initiatives to grow to the next stage.

Partnering success comes with an understanding of where your organization falls on the spectrum of engagement and how to progress up the engagement ladder, said Diane Krakora, Amazon Consulting CEO. As organizations increase their success with partnerships, they reap increased sales, expanded services leverage, reach new markets and gain operational efficiencies. Once organizations understand the effect or impact partnering is having, they have to communicate that impact internally and externally and then invest in the infrastructure and systems to measure ongoing performance.

Organizations that havent realized the ROI of partnerships are considered Novice. To initiate their progression and generate increased impact in their organization, they first must realize the value of developing third-party partnerships. Organizations then become Tolerant as they invest in resources such as an individual or team typically in marketing with the responsibility of initiating the first partnerships.

Once the basic partner program is in place, processes and automation initiatives begin to engage and empower partners, and a sales stream is generated, the organization becomes Reliant on the revenue volume. They then move to the Accomplished phase when they globally recognize the value partners bring, in addition to experiencing global sales volume. Accomplished organizations receive 50-80% of revenues from partners and have senior-level executives dedicated to partner execution. When partners are central to every company decision, you truly have a channel Centric organization.

AIDS Walk Houston 2012, presented by Marathon Oil, is a community-wide event that attracts thousands of Houstonians each year. The Walk is produced by AIDS Foundation Houston, Inc. and proceeds benefits local AIDS Service Organizations striving to make an impact in the fight against AIDS while providing vital social services to Houstonians living with HIV/AIDS.

AIDS Foundation Houston, Inc. (AFH) was founded in 1982 as Texas first organization dedicated to HIV education and services. The mission of AFH is to create positive social impact through the innovative management of HIV/AIDS and other chronic illnesses. AFH has steadily evolved from a grass-roots community agency to a professionally managed human services organization that provides many services including benefits and resources, counseling, case management, housing, food and nutrition assistance to low-income, HIV+ men, women, and children.

Houston Texas Consulting is a leading sales and marketing company in the business-to-business market. Indirect channels of marketing, such as TV ads, radio ads, and direct mail, have created a personal gap between the product and the business consumer. Our firm bridges this detrimental gap by building lasting relationships through in-person contact with businesses. When compared to other forms of marketing, the benefits are invaluable.

Through the use of courteous, professional, and service-specific presentations we create a positive and lasting impression. Our approach enhances brand loyalty, which translates into increased revenues and long-term success.

Most organizations are built on an every-man-for-himself model. Even in a large company, everything is a solo deal. We are different. We know that teamwork pays off. No one succeeds alone. We know that our success is dependent on finding and developing solid team players. That is why we focus our own recruiting on identifying those with the inherent qualities to succeed: discipline, commitment, character, and personality. We look for the right type of person (who may or may not have experience), and then introduce personal and professional leadership principles to further their career. The result is success, and for a simple reason: our employees are continuing to learn and grow. If you’re the kind of ambitious, energetic, charismatic pro we believe you are, you can be very successful here.
