Partner Marketing
Channel and Manufacturer partners typically support business development efforts through joint marketing funds, sometimes called Joint Marketing Funds (JMF), Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), or Market Development Funds (MDF). We'll help you understand the channel community, teach you how to get and use the funds, and grow your partner marketing revenue stream.
