What is Partner Satisfaction Survey?

Partner Satisfaction Survey is a structured feedback mechanism used by vendors to measure how satisfied their channel partners are with the partner program, support, tools, incentives, and overall relationship. Regular satisfaction surveys provide the voice-of-partner data needed to identify improvement opportunities and prevent partner attrition.

Key Survey Areas

  • Program structure — Tier requirements, benefits, and fairness
  • Portal and tools — Usability, reliability, and feature completeness
  • Training and enablement — Quality, relevance, and accessibility
  • Sales support — Pre-sales assistance, demo support, deal approvals
  • Marketing support — Co-marketing tools, MDF process, campaign effectiveness
  • Communication — Frequency, relevance, and transparency
  • Incentives — Competitiveness, clarity, and payment timeliness
  • Overall relationship — Net Promoter Score (NPS) and likelihood to recommend

Best Practices

  • Survey quarterly or semi-annually — annual is too infrequent
  • Keep it under 15 minutes to maximize completion rates
  • Benchmark against previous periods to track trends
  • Share results and planned actions with partners (close the loop)
  • Segment results by partner tier, type, and region for targeted insights
