The Shift Towards Partner-Led Growth
Revenue generation is evolving, and partnerships are taking center stage. In 2025, channel partnerships will account for 70% of global B2B revenue (Forrester). Companies with strong partner ecosystems will grow 2X faster than those relying solely on direct sales.
To stay ahead, businesses must embrace automation, AI-driven insights, marketplaces, and co-marketing—all of which can be streamlined with platforms like xAmplify.
Key Partnership Trends for 2025
- The Rise of Partner Marketplaces
