As Galileo said, \u201cMake measurable what is not so.\u201d This whitepaper provides actionable insights to help you measure and strengthen those relationships, driving long-term business success.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group  layout-columns-8 has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-fce79bf6 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  has-gradient-fill has-gradient-fill-orange\">TOOL FOR MEASURING&nbsp;CHANNEL PARTNERSHIP STRENGTH<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>BI WORLDWIDE commissioned KANTAR to conduct a first-of-its-kind research<br>to uncover what really goes behind the scenes to drive channel partners\u2019 loyalty and engagement. From our extensive qualitative and quantitative research findings, based on in-depth interactions with 700+ channel partners in India, it was evident that we needed a highly sophisticated tool to measure the existing status of brand-channel partner association. Since such a tool didn\u2019t exist, it became imperative to build one. Hence, the&nbsp;<strong>Affection Matrix<\/strong>&nbsp;was created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"583\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biworldwide.com\/en-in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/05\/Affection-Matrix.png\" alt=\"A chart titled The Affection Matrix with four quadrants: Trapped (49%), Engaged (22%), Vulnerable (23%), Unattached (6%).

These 19 parameters, though exhaustive in nature, were further clubbed under eight clusters or drivers, which in order of importance are \u2013 Operational Excellence, Rewards &amp; Incentives, Recognition, Learning, Affinity towards Brand, Communication, Well-being, and Events.<br><br>Basis all the above correlated factors, channel partners are placed in four different quadrants of engagement of the Affection Matrix \u2014&nbsp;<strong>Engaged, Trapped, Unattached and Vulnerable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  has-gradient-fill has-gradient-fill-orange\">Are your Channel Partners &#8211;&nbsp;Enaged, Trapped, Unattached or Vulnerable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Engaged<\/strong>&nbsp;channel partners are satisfied with a brand as well as recommend it. Driven by both \u2018performance\u2019 and \u2018preference\u2019, they do not face many roadblocks in their dealings with the brand and want to continue to work with it the next year. Unfortunately,&nbsp;<strong>only 22% of channel partners in India feel truly \u2018Engaged\u2019.<\/strong>&nbsp;Brands should endeavour to take steps so that all of their channel partners feel Engaged.<br><br>In fact,&nbsp;<strong>nearly 50% of the channel partners feel \u2018Trapped\u2019 with the brand they work for<\/strong>&nbsp;i.e. they are not satisfied with it but still end up recommending it. The reasons might vary from a tendency to resist change, reputation-driven mindset, lack of other options to move to, or more. Driven only by \u2018preference\u2019, the brand is often replaceable for these channel partners, and it is only a matter of finding a more trusted and reliable brand. Brands should identify what is lacking in the top drivers such as Operational Excellence, Rewards &amp; Incentives, Recognition and Learning and close the gaps to improve \u2018<strong>performance<\/strong>\u2019 for this quadrant.<br><br>Some channel partners are neither driven by \u2018performance\u2019 nor by \u2018preference\u2019. They make up the \u2018<strong>Vulnerable<\/strong>\u2019 quadrant and are neither satisfied with the brand nor prefer it.&nbsp;<strong>At 23%, these channel partners are the second highest in terms of volume and need the most work to transform into Engaged partners.<\/strong><br><br>6% of channel partners are driven only by \u2018performance\u2019, and&nbsp;<strong>their relationship with the brand is purely transactional.<\/strong>&nbsp;They form the \u2018<strong>Unattached<\/strong>\u2019 quadrant. Brands are dispensable to them and will be replaced at the slightest inconvenience. Brands need to build an emotional connection with these channel partners, probably through targeted communication, strategic recognition, personalised schemes and rewards, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  has-gradient-fill has-gradient-fill-orange\">Framework for Strengthening&nbsp;Channel Partnerships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How can we enhance brand-channel partner relationship, once its existing status is identified? How can we transform Trapped, Vulnerable, and Unattached partners into Engaged partners? In an endeavour to move all the channel partners to the Engaged quadrant, we designed a&nbsp;<strong>unique IBC (Invest, Build,<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>and Consider) Solution Framework<\/strong>&nbsp;that helps devise brand-specific solutions for maximising channel partner engagement.<br><br>Brands need to map the 8 drivers of engagement on the 4 different quadrants of the Affection Matrix \u2013 Engaged, Trapped, Unattached and Vulnerable. This way, they can leverage the IBC Solution Framework to identify which drivers to Invest in, which to Build on, and which ones to Consider. Hence, the three solution areas \u2014&nbsp;<strong>Invest, Build, and Consider,<\/strong>&nbsp;are the three key actions brands can take in their dealings with channel partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  has-gradient-fill has-gradient-fill-orange\">Invest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Invest \u2018drivers\u2019 are the most critical for brands to focus on for enhancing \u2018preference\u2019 and \u2018performance\u2019 that results in a positive impact on the brand-channel partner relationship. Failing to do so leads to a greater risk of dissatisfaction amongst channel partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  has-gradient-fill has-gradient-fill-orange\">Build<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Build \u2018drivers\u2019 are critical for brands to focus on for enhancing \u2018preference\u2019 and \u2018performance\u2019 that results in a positive impact on the brand-channel partner relationship. Failing to do so leads to a moderate risk of dissatisfaction amongst channel partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  has-gradient-fill has-gradient-fill-orange\">Consider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider \u2018drivers\u2019 are not so important for brands to focus on for enhancing \u2018preference\u2019 and \u2018performance\u2019 as they have limited or marginal impact on the overall brand-channel partner relationship. However, Consider \u2018drivers\u2019 can quickly move into the Build area, that\u2019s why we recommend keeping them in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  has-gradient-fill has-gradient-fill-orange\">Getting all partners&nbsp;engaged<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each industry and brand has a unique Affection Matrix and an equally unique IBC Solution Framework, that enables addressing the specific issues of that brand or industry. For example, our research uncovered different percentages of Trapped channel partners across six different industries. Superimposing the drivers of engagement on the IBC Solution Framework will help brands across these industries see where they need to direct their efforts and resources to engage their Trapped channel partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"592\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biworldwide.com\/en-in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/05\/Trapped-partners.png\" alt=\"Graph titled Trapped Partners shows sectors with percentages.
