What is Co-selling?

    CO-SELLING

    Co-selling is when a vendor's direct sales team and a partner's sales team work the same deal together, sharing pipeline, positioning, and account access.

    DEFINITION

    Co-selling is a joint sales motion where vendor and partner sellers actively collaborate on a specific opportunity. Both sides contribute account access, technical expertise, or executive relationships, and both sides share credit and compensation.

    HOW IT WORKS

    Deals are jointly registered, both teams are named on the opportunity, and joint account plans are maintained in the PRM or CRM. Compensation rules make sure neither side is penalized for collaborating.

    WHY IT MATTERS

    Co-selling wins deals that neither side wins alone, especially in enterprise. It is also the fastest way to build partner trust.

    QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.

    Is co-selling the same as reselling?

    No. In reselling, the partner transacts. In co-selling, both teams sell together; the transaction can flow through either side.
