You think your administration is in order, until you discover thousands of euros in incentives have simply evaporated. And it happens more often than you think. Partners regularly lose enormous amounts simply because their administration is just not right. A missed checkbox, a wrong Partner ID or a forgotten registration… small mistakes with big consequences.
The painful reality? Microsoft doesn’t look at your good intentions or your hard work; they look at your registered performance. Is there a mismatch? You can kiss your incentives goodbye. The worst part? Usually you only notice when it’s already too late.
At The Channel Concierge Company, we see partners struggling with this administrative nightmare daily. The good news: you can easily prevent this. Here are concrete tips to get immediate results:
- Check your Partner ID regularly One wrongly entered digit and your incentive can’t be assigned to you. Make it a weekly habit to check this.
- Register customer-partner relationships on time Don’t wait until the end of the month to register. Do it immediately, so you’re always up-to-date and miss nothing.
- Use automated systems Stop manually puzzling. Automate the registration and verification of your customer relationships. Fewer errors, less hassle.
- Create a monthly check routine Set fixed moments in your calendar to check the status of your incentives. This way you quickly see if you need to take action.
- Be alert to fraud risks Don’t be tempted by dubious services that handle claims ‘quickly and easily’. Ultimately, you’re always liable.
Why aren’t more partners doing this yet? Because administration feels boring and cumbersome. But realize this: a few minutes of extra attention can literally save thousands of euros.
So take control of your incentives today. Make it simple, tight and secure. You no longer have to be a victim of administrative errors. Because well-organized administration means more time, more money and less stress.
