“Workspan allows us to automate co-sell data sharing between our CRM and AWS ACE and register more opportunities so that we can engage the AWS field with more deal velocity, increased deal value, and greater win-rates”
Kevin Matsushita, Head of Partnerships & Alliances, Mindtickle

Challenges Faced by Mindtickle

Mindtickle faced the following challenges in their co-sell partnership with AWS:

  • Time-consuming data entry process for the Alliance team to share opportunities between their CRM and AWS ACE Portal
  • Time spent keeping pipeline data updated in AWS ACE and generating accurate co-sell performance reports took time away from co-selling with the AWS team
  • Bulk uploading of opportunities was a cumbersome process

These challenges led to significant business impact on partnering operations. The administrative burden to support manual processes took precious time away from higher-value activities such as customer deals and AWS seller engagement and collaboration.

How WorkSpan's Co-Sell Management Platform Helped Mindtickle

To overcome these challenges and build a scalable process for its AWS co-sell business, Mindtickle deployed WorkSpan's secure SaaS platform that integrates with AWS ACE and its Salesforce CRM and helps Mindtickle efficiently manage its co-sell business.

Streamlined Co-Sell Opportunity Sharing from Inside Salesforce CRM

  • With WorkSpan, Mindtickle manages its co-sell opportunity referral sharing with AWS all from within its Salesforce CRM for partner-originated and AWS originated opportunity referrals.
  • Mindtickle is able to efficiently create and submit CRM opportunity referrals to AWS ACE with features such as automated referral creation based on predefined rules, value and sales stage mapping, referral form autofill and validations.
  • Mindtickle can accept or decline AWS originated opportunity referrals from within its CRM and easily create new opportunities in Salesforce or avoid duplicate records with WorkSpan's opportunity linking feature.

With WorkSpan's advanced bi-directional integrations, Mindtickle’s opportunity data can be automatically synced between its CRM and AWS. For instance, when Mindtickle’s sellers update the target close date and sales stage for their opportunity in Salesforce, WorkSpan can automatically update the corresponding fields in AWS ACE. This means that Mindtickle can share up-to-date pipeline data with AWS without having to manage data in two different systems.

Co-Sell Performance Tracking with Real-Time Reporting

Mindtickle gains complete visibility into co-sell opportunities in one place by sales stage, region, or other filters.

They are able to track opportunity referral volume by source, pipeline, partner sourced revenues, and other key metrics for their co-sell business with AWS. Using WorkSpan's reporting and analytics features Mindtickle:

  • Gets clear sales performance insights on its AWS co-sell business in real-time.
  • Visualizes actuals vs goals, pipeline metrics, partner-sourced deals, performance by region, and more with auto-generated reports and charts.
  • Has a shared view of co-sell motions at the global and regional levels and a single source of truth that powers more effective partnering engagement with AWS.
