It’s no surprise to us that one of the biggest items on your wishlist is more time in the day. After all, your role as a partner manager is highly cross-functional. You’re constantly on your feet (or in multiple Slack channels) aligning with your marketing, sales, and product teams.

To make your days a little easier, more organized, and more effective, we’ve compiled a list of 20 integrations and Chrome extensions you should use in your everyday workflow.

Take a look, and add your favorites to your tech stack (you know, when you have a sec).

10 Integrations You Should Use

1. HubSpot and GoToWebinar

How a partner manager can use it: Following a co-marketing webinar, automatically segment your data by “leads,” “customers,” those who “registered but didn’t attend,” and those who “attended.” Trigger email workflows for each segmented group from HubSpot. No need to export and import CSV files from one tool to the other. Your lead lists sync between HubSpot and GoToWebinar throughout the event process.

Here’s how to connect HubSpot to GoToWebinar.

2. SalesLoft and Salesforce

How a partner manager can use it: Set up email sequences to nurture ecosystem qualified leads (EQLs) you’ve received from your partner. The emails should influence specific behaviors and actions from the lead for lead scoring (like subscribing to your marketing newsletter) and support their progression through the sales funnel.

When the lead enters the sales pipeline, track engagement between your sales reps and your partner-influenced accounts. If a sales rep needs help selling to a particular account, engage a partner who can provide more context about the account (like the contact information for a strategic stakeholder) to accelerate the deal.

You can also create customizable email templates for sourcing and onboarding new partners.

Here’s how to connect SalesLoft to Salesforce.

3. Gong and Slack

How a partner manager can use it: Create a list of partnership-related keywords (including your partners’ names and products), and get Slack notifications each time a prospect mentions one of the keywords during a sales call. This will help you identify when and which partners have influence on a deal. Don’t forget to mark the account as “partner-influenced” or “partner-sourced” in your customer relationship management (CRM) software to track the influence from the top of the funnel to deal-closed.

Here’s how to connect Gong to Slack.

4. Crossbeam and Salesforce

How a partner manager can use it: Push partner data from Crossbeam into Salesforce so you and your sales reps can identify which accounts overlap with your partners’ accounts in real time. If a sales rep needs to engage a particular account, they can reach out to you or your partner for an assist.

Here’s how to connect Crossbeam to Salesforce.

5. Krisp and Zoom

How a partner manager can use it: Get rid of background noise on your calls with partners and take your calls from anywhere (with the right virtual background, of course). After all, building relationships is a key part of building your partner ecosystem.

☝️Drew Cohen at SmartBug Media® likes Krisp so much, he shared his referral code on his LinkedIn profile.

7. 6sense and Drift

Drift helps you identify your highest value accounts and develop targeted messaging, while 6sense provides even more data points to strengthen the engagement. 6sense’s firmographic data intelligence for identifying details like the company’s name, revenue, and geographic location will have you speaking directly to your strategic accounts in a way that resonates and converts.

10. AirTable and Slack

How a partner manager can use it: Automatically update your sales and marketing teams in Slack when you have new partnership collateral for co-selling available in AirTable. Your sales team can start using materials like integration one-sheets or FAQ docs right away in their sales outreach or conversations with existing customers. Meanwhile, your marketing team can grab co-branded landing page links, pre-approved co-marketing messaging, and social media copy anytime they need it.
