This week, I'm taking a play from "Stuff You Should Know" and I'm going into the archives to pull back a 'classic' - CRM Foundations for Partnerships! UNLIKE my para-social friends Chuck and Josh, however, I'm calling it a 'rehash' because I'm not just cycling up the old content. I've pulled it out for an update and tied it a pretty big announcement, at least for me... and maybe anyone trying to make Salesforce 'work' for Partnerships. In this episode:What's happened in Partnerships sinc...

This week, a conversation with Kenny Browne! A few caveats about the episode before we dive in... We recorded a while back so this isn't a bonus episode - it actually convinced me to shift focus for this year and do more of this work. Stay tuned for the report mentioned - it should land any day on Partner Fleet's social media channels. The 'In-App' marketplace was launched 2023 - I say 'this year' because it was recorded in 2023.
