Partnerships with independent companies are dicey, especially those between vendors and MSPs. However, successful relationships depend on free flow information and data; this shows mutual growth in trust. Fortunately, some platforms, such as xAmplify, have powerful analytics and real-time data-sharing capabilities to empower these relationships.
Importance of Transparency
Data transparency involves free information sharing in regard to sales, the effectiveness of marketing, customer feedback, and so on. Such transparency ascertains performance indicative understanding and helps them align strategies towards mutual business goals. Much more than just sharing data, it needs to be accessible and understandable by each and every stakeholder. Sharing has to be equitably done, not just from partners to vendors.
Trust: Transparency and clear sharing of information set a tone of Honesty and Cooperation. This sets the base for trust in every healthy relationship. When vendors and MSPs openly share data, the contribution both make to the relationship remains in the light and both are responsible for their actions, which in turn will make trust and reliability even stronger.
Collaboration: The result of such open and clear communication is much better collaboration. Vendors see what works in marketing and what doesn’t, and thus can tailor their support accordingly to match up with the unique needs of the MSP. On the other hand, MSPs can have a much better understanding of how their products are performing and customer satisfaction and thus become capable of giving suggestions to the vendors.
Strategic decision-making-when the MSPs and the vendors have the same data, it opens the way to informed decisions regarding joint interests. This may mean uncovering new market opportunities, adjusting marketing strategies, or even developing and building new products or services, based on a common understanding of customers.
