Partner Lead Processing Lead Review Once your lead is submitted, it is placed in the Partner-Sourced Lead Queue. If the lead provides qualified information and valid prospect contact information, we will begin the acceptance. First touch is within 2- business days. 1. Qualification
We check to ensure lead is properly qualified and has valid prospect contact information.
2. Existing Opportunities
If a lead is qualified, we check our system for active opportunities and leads related to the account. If there are
existing opportunities, the Account Exec will confirm which partner is working with the client and if their role was
‘sourcing partner’ or ‘joint sales’ partner.
3. Conversion If there is no active opportunity, or if this is a net new account, we convert the lead to an Opportunity and assign to
the appropriate AE. We request that the AE contact the partner prior to calling the prospect. You will now be able
to track the status of this opportunity through the Partner Community.
