Passing quality sales leads from our salespeople to partners is crucial to bolstering a thriving partner ecosystem, and data shows that the faster we can pass these leads on, the greater the chance of closing the deal.
According to a 2017 study by IBM’s Chief Analytics Office (CAO), sales leads that are passed within a 48-hour

But making this happen in a 48-hour window in an ecosystem as large as ours is not as easy as it sounds. Business opportunities need to be vetted and matched with partners based on a myriad of pre-identified parameters, such as their performance, product expertise, customer experience, industry expertise, local proximity, and social network.
On April 5th SolarWinds (NYSE:SWI), announced its customer conference is set to return to Amsterdam, Netherlands May 7th and 8th. Although the conference will focus on security, the agenda will include sought-after keynote speakers, product updates, networking opportunities, and various educational content across business, technical, sales, and marketing topics.
