Restore balance. Accelerate growth
Build partnerships that build your business.
We design, launch, and manage partner programs that scale your reach and deliver real customer value—following a proven 5-stage model.
The Problem
Partnerships are a major investment. Don’t waste time on partners that can’t deliver value.
A bad partner wastes resources, damages your reputation, and frustrates your team. Without a clear program and rigorous selection, you’re gambling. We help you build a system that attracts, enables, and scales the *right* partners.

Partner Selection Toolkit
18 criteria. 6 dimensions. Full methodology.
How We Select the Right Partners
The right partner fits your customer, your culture, and your goals.
We use a rigorous criteria framework to evaluate potential partners across six dimensions—so you invest only in relationships that will multiply your impact.
- Credit & Financial Condition: Are they stable? Can they invest?
- Sales Strength: Do they have a capable, trained sales force?
- Product Lines: Do their existing lines complement or compete with yours?
- Reputational: What do customers and other manufacturers say about them?
- Market Coverage: Do they reach the customers you need?
- Sales Performance: Have they delivered consistently over time?
We don’t just give you a program. We give you a partnership system.
Most “partner program” consultants hand you a binder and walk away. We guide you through all five stages—from preparation to results—and we stay until your program delivers.
Prepare → Share Knowledge → Plan → Execute → Achieve Results
That’s the LAB7X difference.
