Displaying and Assessing Prospective Partner Companies

This task is a step in Process of Enrolling a New Partner Company.

When a company applies to be a partner, you need to assess how well it can work with your company before deciding whether to enroll it as a partner.

There are many things you can do when you assess a potential partner company. You begin by assessing the profile data entered when the company applied to be a part of the partner program. You may also want to read a Company Briefing, do a credit check, talk to key people in the company, and do many other offline activities.

When a company applies at your Siebel PRM Portal to be a partner, the company fills out a partner profile, including detailed information about the potential partner company's business. You begin the enrollment process by examining this information to understand this company's business model and seeing how it may fit in with your business goals.

You use the Prospective Partners list to view the companies that have applied to become your partners, along with their profiles. This list includes companies and individuals that have registered as partners online.
