    While investment in effectiveness is the bread and butter of maintaining infrastructure, according to Blueroads, the PRM vendor contends that effectiveness-focused activities are where channel executives should focus in 2009 to boost revenues through the channel.

    •    The path to revenue from new partners (recruitment) is too long to influence 2009 revenues
    •    Better enabling existing partners is a much more effective approach
    •    Partners don’t benefit from vendor efficiency
    •    If vendors invest in partners, they should hold them accountable, too.
