Partner success is your success. Regular LinkedIn engagement helps partners stay informed about your solution, spot opportunities, and feel confident recommending you to their clients.

Expected results

  • More partner-sourced deals

  • Stronger partner relationships

  • Higher partner retention rates

The workflow

1. Set up partner lists

Create a separate list in Extrovert for:

  • Partner sales teams

  • Solution architects

  • Partner marketing

  • Partner leadership

☝️ Pro tip: Don't forget about new hires - they need extra attention to get up to speed

2. Plan your engagement

Keep engagement light but consistent:

  • Monthly touchpoints work well

  • Focus on being helpful

  • Watch for changes in their situation

☝️ Pro tip: Less is more here - you're playing the long game

3. Daily engagement

Take 15 minutes to check your partner feed:

Use these filters:

  • Last comment time for touchpoint tracking

  • Prospect list to focus on partner roles

  • Post type for relevant discussions

☝️ Pro tip: Turn on delayed posting (Campaign β†’ Settings β†’ Delay between comments) to space out your comments naturally.
​

☝️ Pro tip: Use AI topic monitoring (Campaign β†’ Settings β†’ Topics monitoring) to highlight posts that match your area of expertise

4. Support partner success

Look for chances to help:

  • Support their content

  • Share relevant case studies in comments

  • Add use cases they missed in comments

  • Highlight partner success stories with a repost

  • Tag relevant partners in industry creator discussions

☝️ Pro tip: Public discussions help other partners learn too


​

Combine with content strategy

Engagement + content helps partners sell:

  • LinkedIn shows your posts to partners who like your comments

  • It's a perfect way to target your content to your partners

  • They see your latest features

  • They have content examples to share with clients

Regular visibility makes you the first solution they think of.
