Deal registration is the process where a partner submits an opportunity to the vendor for approval, locking exclusive rights and a discount on that deal.
Deal registration is the operational workflow that protects a partner's investment in an opportunity. The partner submits the account, contact, product, and estimated close date; the vendor validates, approves, and grants an exclusive discount for a defined period.
Partners register deals in the PRM. The system checks for duplicates and channel conflict, routes to a channel manager for approval, and tracks the deal through close. Approved deals carry an approval ID that flows into the vendor's CRM.
Deal registration is the single most important trust mechanism in a channel program. Without it, partners will not invest in creating pipeline.
Typical protection windows run 60 to 180 days depending on sales cycle length.
