Partner tiering software

Show partners what the next tier takes, and what it pays. Build tier programs without code on HubSpot or Salesforce, publish what each tier requires and brings, and keep every partner's tier in sync with your CRM. The tier then sets commission rates, quote discounts, MDF budgets and what each partner sees.

WeGive uses Introw's partner tiering to reward its best-performing partners.

Definition

What is partner tiering software?

Partner tiering software turns a tier policy into a program partners can climb. It holds the levels, such as Silver and Gold, what each requires, what each brings, and which tier every partner is on. In Introw, partner tiers sync to your HubSpot or Salesforce record, and the tier sets commissions, discounts, MDF and portal access.

The problem

A tier nobody can climb is just a label

Partners push for the next tier only when they can see what it takes and what it changes for them.

Without Introw

Partners can't see how to reach the next tier
A tier is a label on a slide
Sales can't see a partner's tier
Tier reviews mean editing records one by one
A higher tier changes nothing for the partner
Budgets, prices and content are set partner by partner

With Introw

Requirements and benefits are published in their portal
Requirements track real progress against a target
The tier is a property on the CRM record
Assign one partner or a whole cohort at once
Tiers drive commission rates, discounts and what partners see
Set them once per tier, and every partner who reaches it gets them
How it works

A tier program partners actually climb

One ladder per program, from the tier a partner starts in to the rewards at the top.

Set the bar

Each tier gets a bar that means something for how the partner sells

A tier program gives each partner motion its own ladder, so resellers and referral partners are measured on what matters for them. Partner ops builds and changes it without code, so a new tier or requirement does not wait for a consultant.

Separate programs side by side, each with as many tiers as it needs; a partner holds one tier per program.

Goal requirements carry a target per tier: enter one number for Gold and every Gold partner has it.

A name, colour and downloadable badge per tier, for the partner's website or email signature.

Show the next rung

Partners see how far they are from the next tier, so they push this quarter

A tier only motivates when partners can see the next step and what is on it. Goal requirements track live progress from your CRM, and partners stop asking their partner manager how to move up.

Requirements and benefits as plain text, checklist items or goals.

Goal items track progress against a target, such as closed revenue or certified people.

Partners see their tier and what the next one asks for in their portal.

Reward who delivers

Reward the partners who deliver, the moment they deliver

A workflow moves a partner up when the event you choose happens, such as a certificate issuing, and can book a bonus in the same run. Nobody waits for the next quarterly review to be recognised.

The update partner properties action sets the tier, and the change syncs to your CRM.

The same workflow can book a one-off commission, which still goes through your approval and payout run.

Meeting a goal requirement does not promote a partner on its own: promote through a workflow or in bulk after a review.

Announce it

The tier move announces itself, in their inbox and their Slack channel

Recognition is part of the reward. When the tier changes, a workflow on "partner updated" emails the partner's contacts and posts in their channel, so every promotion lands the same way.

Trigger on the tier property, for example partner tier is Gold.

Email all contacts of the partner and post in the partner's Slack or Teams channel.

Sync it

Sales sees the tier on the CRM record, without asking

The tier lives on the CRM record, so sales, RevOps and partner teams act on the same status. A tier review becomes one bulk edit instead of an afternoon of record updates.

The tier maps to a HubSpot or Salesforce property and syncs both ways.

Set one partner's tier on their record, or bulk edit a whole selection.

Report and filter on the tier like any other CRM field.

Core features

Everything you need to run a partner program, in one place

Moving up should pay, or partners stop climbing. The tier is the setting the rest of Introw reads, so one promotion changes what a partner earns, quotes, spends and sees.

Partner goal tracking in the partner portal, showing partner-sourced revenue against target

Partner goal tracking

Make a goal a tier requirement, and partners see their live progress toward the next tier from your CRM data. Reaching the goal does not promote them on its own; a workflow or a bulk tier change does.

Partner certification issued from Introw training, ready to share on LinkedIn

Partner training and certification

Make certification a tier requirement with a goal that counts certificates earned. A workflow on "certificate issued" moves the partner up the moment they certify, and the new tier syncs to your CRM.

Partner payout statement with revenue share, lead rebate and certification rewards

Partner commissions and SPIFFs

A commission plan pays a rate per tier, so moving up pays visibly more on every deal. Plans that calculate on Stripe or Chargebee invoices still pay their rate per tier.

Partner quote in the portal with the Gold tier discount applied to each line item

CPQ for partner quotes

On HubSpot, set a discount per tier on each product, so Gold partners quote a better price than Silver. The tier discount applies on the quote automatically.

Marketing development funds available only to Gold tier partners in the partner portal

MDF management

Allocate a marketing fund to a segment of your Gold partners, so they get a co-marketing budget Silver partners do not see. Partners see their allocation and remaining balance in the portal.

Partner portal access rule limiting MDF content to Elite tier partners

Partner portal and content

A dynamic segment on tier decides which tabs, assets and courses partners see. Restrict an asset to a segment built on tier, so your Gold sales kit reaches Gold partners only.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is partner tiering software?

Partner tiering software runs your tier program: the levels, what each requires, what each brings, and which tier every partner holds. In Introw you build tiers without code, publish requirements and benefits in the partner portal, track goal progress toward the next tier, and sync each partner's tier to HubSpot or Salesforce.

Can partners see what the next tier requires?

Yes. Each tier's requirements and benefits are visible in the partner portal as text, checklist items or goals. Goal items show live progress against the target from your CRM data, so a partner knows exactly how far they are from the next tier without asking their partner manager.

Does the partner's tier sync to HubSpot or Salesforce?

Yes. You map the tier to a CRM property, and it syncs both ways: a tier assigned in Introw is written to the CRM, and a tier set in the CRM flows into Introw. Sales and RevOps can report and filter on partner tiers like any other CRM field.

Can we run different tier programs for different partner types?

Yes. You can build several tier programs side by side, for example one for resellers and one for referral partners, each with its own tiers, requirements and benefits. A partner holds exactly one tier per program, and commission rates, discounts and portal content can follow each program's tiers.

Can partners be promoted to a new tier automatically?

Yes, through a workflow. A workflow can update the partner's tier when something happens, such as a course completed or a certificate issued, and the change syncs to your CRM. Reaching a goal on its own does not change the tier, so you can also promote partners in bulk after a review.

How do tiers connect to commissions and discounts?

A commission plan can pay a different rate per tier, so moving up pays visibly more. On HubSpot, tier discounts set the price resellers see when they build a quote in CPQ. Segments by tier also decide which content, portal tabs and funds a partner can access.

Can MDF budgets differ by partner tier?

Yes. Each marketing fund is allocated by segment, and a dynamic segment can filter on partner tier, so your Gold partners can get a fund your Silver partners never see. You choose a fixed amount per partner or one shared pool, and partners see their allocation and remaining balance in the portal.
