Channel Partner Alignment & Market Enablement
Partner Marketing / Sales Enablement
Built and scaled a national channel-partner program that transformed Dräger’s go-to-market model and significantly increased partner-driven revenue.
⭐ Description
Spearheaded one of Dräger India’s largest transformation initiatives—the Sales Channel Partner (SCP) Program—designed to streamline, strengthen, and scale partner-led sales. As part of a 4-member core team, I helped conceptualize, roll out, and optimize the program that identified and enabled the top 30 high-potential channel partners across the country.
The project required deep collaboration across sales, marketing, product, and leadership teams. It involved redesigning incentive structures, defining tiered partner categories (Platinum, Gold, Silver), formalizing partner responsibilities, and building a scalable partner enablement ecosystem.
I travelled across India for six months to train partner organizations on CRM usage, product positioning, tender processes, and Dräger’s GTM expectations. Integrated selected partners into Dynamics 365 CRM with controlled access—enabling structured lead flow, transparent opportunity tracking, and better forecasting.
The program shifted Dräger from a predominantly direct-sales model to a partner-led growth engine, reducing internal bandwidth pressure while expanding market reach.
