90 Minds Community

I am curious if any 90Minds partners (or more likely, how many) are going to be short reaching tier level and received any consideration from Sage? 

I suspect quite a few partners are stretching to get to tier level since the usual "September counts for both this year and next year" promotion is conspicuously missing this year.

It is looking like we might be in this position and before starting the conversation, I would like to know if anyone has been successful.

PM our reach out offline if you can discuss particulars and don't want this information public.

Not sure if this is useful but it looks like Dianna Lane posted a video in Sage Partner Hub and there are myriad of sell x and get 4XL tier options mentioned .

Unfortunately, most of this is add-ons and I don’t know what Sage will ( or won’t do ).

The writing has been on the wall that Sage wants to deal with a smaller number of partners. If I had a crystal ball I’d say that the biggest promos Sage might offer in the future would be for you to cannibalize your user base and move as many people to “pure” SaaS as possible.

Publisher sales are a never ending treadmill which is why I think it smart to be laser focused on developing recurring revenues which you control and aren’t commissions from third parties.

I discovered that Dianna Lane video yesterday. 

Apparently, this has been in effect for a couple of weeks, but was a secret. Did anybody get notification? It was a surprise to me. 

It would have been nice to know about the 6x multiplier for FAS.

I'm with you, Eric. I am in a posture where I think I'm best served to sandbag my orders for October unless Sage offers the Sept counts twice deal again.  If they would offer that deal again, we'd bust out butts to get to Platinum.  Otherwise, we'll sit at gold, just short of platinum, to make sure we can get to gold again next year, which will be hard enough.  Honestly, though, it doesn't much matter which tier I'm at unless I'm selling to new customers.  I did the math, and I don't stand to gain or lose a fortune with the bulk of the tier coming from sales to my install base.
