Partner Management

When onboarding new Partners, you can add category labels, save their signed contracts in DocuSign, and document key relationship details along with relevant files. This creates a solid foundation for each partnership.

To maintain strong relationships, you can regularly update their labels based on performance, keep communication records current, and ensure all documents stay up to date.

This system lets you run reports by Partner type (e.g. using our Partner report, as a start), compare group results, and monitor compliance across segments.

Next Steps

Already have labels setup? First, you should review your current system by checking all Partner labels, organizing files, and verifying that your contracts and notes are current.

This audit will help you identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.

Based on these findings, you can make targeted improvements by defining clear label categories, establishing a consistent file structure, and creating note standards.

You can also set up regular system checks to maintain quality over time.
