Outcomes

What we work towards.

Partner-sourced revenue growth

Revenue closed by resellers, rising as a share of the total.

Pipeline contribution

Partner-generated pipeline, measured against direct.

Reseller deal size

Average contract value closed through partners, moving upstream.

Cross-sell and up-sell rate

Multi-product and premium tiers sold through the channel.

The problem

Signed partners are not the same as selling partners.

A partner's sellers judge your programme on their terms: margin, deal registration, whether it helps them hit this quarter's number. When it doesn't, partners sign, activity fades, and deals go to competitors who run the channel better. Retention follows the same rule: engaged partners renew, disengaged ones lapse. The technology is rarely the problem. The programme is.

What Mantely does

Three engagements, one starting point: how partners actually sell.

01

Channel Foundations

For vendors building their first reseller or partner motion.

  • Partner selection: which resellers fit your product, deal size and buyer.
  • Programme structure that holds up from the partner's side: margin, deal registration, incentives, rules of engagement.
  • Enablement built for live deals, not a document portal.
  • Partner-side persona mapping: how a reseller's account manager decides what to sell.
02

Partner Experience and Activation Audit Flagship

A fixed-scope diagnostic of your programme, conducted exactly as a partner experiences it. For the most common situation in the channel: partners signed, little to show since.

  • The partner journey tested first-hand, application through deal registration.
  • Where partner sellers disengage, and where the deals go instead.
  • Partner-side persona mapping of the sellers you need to win over.
  • Findings and fixes, ranked by revenue impact.
  • A working session to embed them.
03

Partner Manager's First 90 Days

For a newly appointed channel or partner lead. You run the relationships; Mantely builds the scaffolding underneath.

  • A baseline audit of the inherited programme: what is real, what is claimed.
  • A priority partner map: activate, hold, or exit.
  • Cadence and reporting that show progress before revenue lands.
  • Partner-side persona mapping behind every enablement decision.
Who it's for

Built for B2B software vendors at three moments.

Particularly cyber, data and infrastructure vendors, though the situation matters more than the sector.

Why Mantely

The view most vendors never get.

Mantely's founder has spent his career on the reseller side of the UK technology market, in B2B sales and sales management. He knows what makes a reseller's account manager put one vendor in front of a customer and pass over another, because he has watched that decision made again and again. Mantely puts that view to work for vendors.
