“eSentire is very proud that its Partner Program was awarded a 5-star rating from CRN, and we want to assure our partners that our work on their behalf is not stopping here. We will continue to invest heavily in our partner program because our partners’ success is our success,” said Kerry Bailey, CEO, eSentire. “In 2020, our channel delivered more than 40 percent of the company’s bookings, and we expect to deliver more than 50 percent in 2021. Our partners’ customers regard them as their trusted technology advisor. As such, eSentire is committed to providing our partners with the industry’s best MDR services and all the training, sales tools, and marketing support they need to also become their customers’ trusted security advisor.”
eSentire was selected for its best-in-class channel organization. Its collaborative sales approach delivers active engagement and account planning, training, sales tools, deal registration, and co-marketing support to quickly generate demand and close opportunities, growing recurring revenue streams for its partners and eSentire. In 2020, eSentire launched the Partner Advisory Board, which serves as just one aspect of the company’s significant channel investment and draws on valuable feedback and direction from some of its most strategic and successful partners. eSentire also offers a Market Development Fund (MDF) program and a tiered partner-medallion program, tied to enablement and sales productivity.

Vendors are scored based on investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support, and communication.
