Docs Partnerships Understanding the partnership dashboard

Understanding the partnership dashboard

Once you’ve connected with a partner, the partnership dashboard becomes your command center for identifying opportunities, tracking collaboration performance, and managing your shared customer relationships. This guide will help you navigate the dashboard and leverage its insights effectively.

Dashboard overview

Partnership dashboard overview

To access a specific partnership dashboard:

  1. Navigate to the Partnerships tab in the left menu
  2. Click on the partner name in your list of connected partnerships

The partnership dashboard is divided into several key sections:

  • Partner Information: Details about your partner, including contact information
  • Lead Matrix: A visualization of customer overlap across lifecycle stages
  • Customer List: Detailed view of all customers shared with this partner
  • Attribution Requests: Tracking of partnership-driven customer acquisitions
  • Shared Assets: Marketing materials and resources shared between partners

Each section provides specific insights and actions to help you maximize the value of your partnership.

The lead matrix

The lead matrix is the central visualization of your partnership, showing how customers are distributed across different lifecycle stages for both you and your partner:

Partnership lead matrix

Understanding the matrix

The matrix is organized as a grid:

  • Rows: Your customer lifecycle stages (Prospect, Lead, Deal, Customer, etc.)
  • Columns: Your partner’s lifecycle stages
  • Cells: The number of shared customers in each combination of stages

Each cell shows you how many customers overlap between specific lifecycle stages. For example, the cell where your “Prospect” row meets your partner’s “Customer” column shows customers who are prospects in your system but active customers for your partner.

Interpreting the data

Different patterns in the matrix suggest different partnership opportunities:

  • Your Customers / Partner’s Prospects: Potential for introductions or co-marketing
  • Your Prospects / Partner’s Customers: Opportunities for referrals or integration-based selling
  • Both Customer: Ideal for co-marketing, integration enhancement, or customer success collaboration
  • Diagonal (matching stages): Shows alignment in how both organizations view these customers

Some lifecycle stages may appear empty if your partner has chosen not to share that category (e.g., Lost/Churned customers).

Filtering the customer list

Clicking on any cell in the matrix will automatically filter the customer list below to show only customers in that specific combination of lifecycle stages, making it easy to act on specific segments of your shared customer base.

Exploring customer overlap

Below the lead matrix, you’ll find a detailed list of all customers shared between you and your partner (based on your permission settings):

Partnership customer list

List features

  • Filtering: Narrow down customers by clicking matrix cells or using search
  • Targeting: Mark specific customers as targets for focused follow-up
  • Customer Details: Click any customer to see their complete relationship with both partners

Customer timeline

When you click on a specific customer in the list, you’ll see a timeline showing:

  • When the customer first engaged with each partner
  • App installation and subscription events
  • Key milestones in the customer relationship
Customer timeline

This timeline helps you understand the customer’s journey across both your business and your partner’s, providing context for collaboration opportunities.

Managing attribution requests

The attribution section helps track customer acquisitions that resulted from partnership activities:

Attribution requests

Requesting attribution

If you’ve helped your partner acquire a customer:

  1. Find the customer in the shared customer list
  2. Click on the customer to view their details
  3. Click Request Attribution
  4. Provide details about how you influenced the acquisition
  5. Submit your request

Responding to requests

When your partner requests attribution for helping acquire one of your customers:

  1. Navigate to the Attribution Requests section
  2. Review incoming requests in the “Received” tab
  3. Click on a specific request to see details
  4. Choose to Approve or Deny the request
  5. Optionally add comments to explain your decision

Approved attributions are tracked in your partnership metrics, helping to quantify the value of your collaboration.

Reviewing shared assets

The assets section displays marketing materials and resources shared between you and your partner:

Taking action on insights

The partnership dashboard is designed to help you identify and act on collaboration opportunities. Here are some effective ways to leverage the insights it provides:

Co-marketing opportunities

  • Identify customers marked as “Customers” for both organizations for case studies
  • Focus on your “Prospects” who are your partner’s “Customers” for targeted campaigns
  • Create joint webinars or content featuring mutual customers

Sales collaboration

  • Coordinate outreach to customers in complementary lifecycle stages
  • Develop joint proposals for shared prospects or leads
  • Create integration-focused offers for customers only using one solution

Customer success

  • Identify at-risk customers for collaborative retention efforts
  • Coordinate onboarding for new shared customers
  • Develop success metrics that reflect the value of the integrated solution

Measuring partnership ROI

Use the dashboard metrics to measure partnership value:

  • Track the number of successful attributions over time
  • Monitor movement of customers through the lifecycle stages
  • Measure conversion rates for referred prospects

The partnership dashboard transforms partnership management from an ad-hoc, relationship-based activity to a data-driven, strategic collaboration. By regularly reviewing and acting on the insights it provides, you can maximize the value of your partnerships and drive growth for both organizations.
