Expand Reach and Drive Revenue Through Reseller Partners with WorkSpan

If you're reading this, you probably already know the value that marketplaces bring to today’s business ecosystem. Cloud marketplaces aren’t just a trend—they’re the place to be for any organization serious about scaling. And if you’re working with reseller partners, the importance of leveraging these platforms effectively skyrockets. That’s where Reseller Offers (also known as CPPO and MPO) come into play.

Here’s why this matters: Reseller Offers create a seamless experience for your reseller partners to sell, manage, and deliver services directly through the cloud marketplaces, making transactions easy for end customers while driving serious growth for you and your partners.

Canalys expects that by 2027,  more than 50% of marketplace sales will flow through the channel.

But let’s dive into what this all means for your business and how WorkSpan is here to help you capture the full potential of Reseller Offers on the marketplace.

Why Reseller Offers Are Your Secret Power

Imagine this: You’re an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) with a rock-solid product and big ambitions to expand your footprint globally. You’ve got partnerships lined up with some top-tier resellers, but coordinating deals across platforms, managing customer relationships, and ensuring every partner is aligned, can feel like an overwhelming maze. Sound familiar?

Enter Reseller Offers—the game-changing solution that enables you to tap into marketplace sales with your reseller partners leading the charge. By using Reseller Offers, your partners can easily create or extend private offers through marketplaces like AWS (CPPO), Microsoft (MPO), and Google Cloud (MCPO), tailoring each offer to customer needs and ensuring a frictionless buying experience for them. The end result? Stronger partnerships, faster deal cycles, and satisfied customers.

How Reseller Offers Build Lasting Customer Relationships

Here’s the truth: When partners feel empowered to manage offers, it doesn’t just help them—it directly benefits your customers. Reseller Offers enable partners to create custom deals for each customer, which is crucial for building relationships that last.

Imagine a scenario where a U.S.-based ISV wants to expand into Asia. Your local reseller partner can now craft a Reseller Offer tailored for the Asian market, complete with the right pricing, bundling options, and regulatory adjustments and delivered via cloud marketplace. This makes it easier for your customer to say “yes” while giving your partner the ability to take the lead on support, upselling, and future expansion. It’s a win-win-win for everyone involved.

How Partners Are Leveraging WorkSpan’s Reseller Offers to Scale and Simplify

Let’s look at an example to bring this to life:

Consider an ISV called DataSense Solutions working with a network of reseller partners to distribute its data analytics software through AWS Marketplace. With WorkSpan’s Reseller Offers, DataSense enables each reseller partner to easily create offers within AWS Marketplace, customizing pricing and adding localized support options.

One of DataSense’s partners, an Australian reseller, creates a private offer for a major financial institution in Sydney. Through WorkSpan’s platform, they’ve got all the tools they need to:

1. Customize the offer for local currency, regulatory requirements, and additional security features.
2. Collaborate seamlessly with DataSense’s sales team, sharing insights and aligning on deal progress.
3. Close the deal quickly by reducing back-and-forth communication and delivering a direct, streamlined purchase process to the customer.

With WorkSpan’s Reseller Offers, DataSense doesn’t just gain a new client; it unlocks a strategic market with a local partner that’s empowered to drive further sales. And for the partner, this is a perfect setup to deliver a tailored experience to the customer, manage post-sale support, and even upsell future solutions.
