What even is a Summit (Platinum) Consulting Partner?
You’ll first need to understand the Salesforce partner program.
Salesforce creates cloud products but depends on its extensive network of partners for technical implementation and customization. In turn, the partner network encourages Salesforce usage and adoption which contributes to ACV (Annual Contract Values) for Salesforce.
What does it take to become a Summit (Platinum) Partner?
Salesforce partnership program has four tiers – Base, Crest, Ridge, Summit. These tiers are assigned under a strict evaluation bar for quality.
To become a ‘Summit (Platinum) Consulting Partner’ a company must collect enough points under a complex, algorithm-based point system called the ‘Partner Value Score.’ The Partner Value Score account for customer satisfaction scores, certifications, projects, and much more.
The system winnows partners to bring out partners that commit to quality for the long run. They show empirical evidence for high CSAT, feedback collection, and ability to create growth.
What does this mean for our customers and SI Partners?
