“Indirect channels can be one of, if not the most profitable paths to growing your SaaS sales. The good news is that it’s not magic and it’s not even difficult to implement. However, it does require know-how, strategy, commitment, and implementation. This SaaSMAX/Chanimal certification course will provide SaaS executives with that know-how, strategy, and tools. Plus, the opportunity to learn from Ted Finch is like getting ‘lightning in a bottle,'” comments SaaSMAX CEO Dina Moskowitz.
