What is Sell-To Programs?
Sell-To Programs are channel models where the vendor’s sales motion targets the partner organization as the customer — selling products that the partner will use internally, incorporate into their own service offerings, or deploy as part of managed service platforms. Unlike sell-through (where partners resell to end customers), sell-to treats partners as direct buyers.
Common Sell-To Scenarios
- MSP consumption — MSPs purchase vendor technology to deliver managed services to their clients
- ISV embedding — ISVs license vendor technology to embed in their own software products
- Internal use — Partners purchase products for their own business operations
- Service delivery — Partners buy platforms to deliver professional services
Key Considerations
- Different pricing model — often consumption-based or subscription vs transactional
- Different success metrics — partner adoption and usage vs end-customer sales
- Different enablement — focused on implementation and integration vs sales skills
- Different support model — technical implementation support vs sales support
