Online applications — Inbound interest through your partner program page
Referrals — Existing partners, customers, or industry contacts recommending new partners
Targeted outreach — Proactive recruitment of specific companies that match your IPP
Marketplace listings — Cloud marketplace partner directories

3. Qualify and Evaluate

Assess alignment on strategy, market coverage, technical capability, financial stability, and commitment level.

4. Onboard and Activate
