Over 50% of SaaS companies say partnerships are a top revenue driver, but the path to success isn’t always clear. On this show, we unpack the real stories behind the programs driving revenue growth, straight from the people who’ve built them. From early missteps to pivotal moments, each guest breaks down how their strategy evolved, what actually worked, and the lessons that stuck. We’re getting tactical, walking through the exact playbooks they’ve used to turn partnerships into a predictable, repeatable revenue stream you can learn from. Whether you're evolving a partner program or building one from scratch, Get it, Together delivers the clarity and practical insight you need to move fast and get it right. Instead of asking "where do I start?" or “what’s next?”, you’ll be saying "let's run this back." Practical, honest, and occasionally spicy, this is the podcast that helps GTM teams build partnership programs that are built to last.
