Most software companies are discovering traditional cold outreach is losing its effectiveness especially for new business deals.

The good news is that there are smarter ways to grow, as Allsop Intelligent Software has discovered. By activating a partner network, Allsop showed that partner relationships can become an effective new business channel.

For some time, Allsop’s leadership sensed their partnerships had more potential, but they kept running into situations where they were not sure how to handle and felt there was greater value to be had. While there was a gut feel that there should be a better way, they weren’t ready to invest without a clearer, proven case.

That moment came when they wanted to explore how major SI partners could support growth in key accounts. New NI Chamber member, Cambium LLP was asked to evaluate the opportunity and saw a way forward.

Working closely over a short period, Cambium helped Allsop build a structured partner programme using a proven engagement model.

The results speak for themselves:

  • Extended reach into new markets
  • Transformed technology vendor relationships into productive go to market partnerships
  • A replicable system for scaling sales activity

The approach enabled Allsop to take a low-risk path. They didn’t hire a partnerships manager straight away. Instead, they used fractional support to test what would work. Their value proposition, partner criteria and engagement framework were built and tested in real time with a senior Cambium practitioner embedded in the team.

As Allsop’s Managing Director, Richard Campbell said:

“Cambium didn’t just point out what needed to be done,  they proved it was doable.”

Once the model delivered results, Allsop made a permanent hire with clarity on the capabilities and credentials needed to fill the role.
