The weekly partner KPI reporting cycle is consuming 10+ hours with manual data pulls, version chaos, and last-minute stakeholder requests.
The situation this course is for
Alliance leaders like you are expected to show cross-company impact, but the data lives in silos. Salesforce, Snowflake, internal dashboards, and partner portals don’t talk. Every Monday, you rebuild the same report from scratch: chasing exports, reconciling definitions, reformatting for leadership. Stakeholders send last-minute asks. Versions spiral. One missed metric undermines credibility. This isn’t strategy, it’s spreadsheet drudgery masking as work. And it repeats every single week.
Who this is for
Senior alliance or partner lead at a tech company, delivering joint outcomes with strategic vendors. They own performance reporting but lack automated pipelines. They’re technical enough to know what good data looks like but lack time or tools to systematize it.
Who this is not for
Individual contributors not responsible for cross-functional reporting, partner marketers without operational KPIs, or those whose companies already have fully automated partner dashboards.
What you walk away with
- Stop rebuilding reports from scratch every week
- Reduce KPI reporting time from 10+ hours to under 60 minutes
- Align partner and internal teams on a single source of truth
- Prevent version confusion across stakeholders
- Automate data collection from Salesforce, Snowflake, and partner portals
