Overview

Partner Invitations allow suppliers to easily on-board partners to their channel marketing programs. 

The Partner Invitation offers suppliers the following benefits to get partners up and running:

• It gives on-boarding control to the supplier allowing them to be proactive in outreach efforts.
• Invitations are automated and less prone to error.
• All the functionality is contained in Zift123 and ZiftMarcom with easy visibility into the status of invited partners.
• Partner on-boarding can be automatic if the supplier chooses.

This is the process that Suppliers and Partners will experience.

1. Suppliers will send invitations to potential partners
2. Potential partners can accept or reject the invitation.
3. When the partner accepts the inviation, Suppliers will see the partner as Pending.
4. The supplier will then begin the Onboarding process with Partners that indicated their interest. 
5. The Partner will receive a Welcome email with a link to log into Zift123. Partners can get started using Zift123 without any interaction with Zift Solutions.
