We make Incentives work for you

Introducing Kick-ass Channel Incentives

The Essential Agency designed its end-to-end channel incentive solution to enable technology vendors and distributors to deliver highly impactful incentive programmes quickly, easily and at scale!

incentives that:

  • Drive deal registrations, accelerate sales and reward partners for enablement
  • Enable partners to track their results in real-time via a branded incentive platform
  • Fuel competition with leaderboards
  • Deliver prizes quickly and sustainably to almost any geographic location via our local hubs
  • Get detailed reporting to track engagement and establish ROI

Our Kick-ass Channel Incentives Framework

We know that running an effective Kick-Ass Incentive can be hard. Often the sheer complexity of trying to analyse CRM and sales data can be enough to stop an incentive from ever going ahead.

We start by working with our clients to understand what behaviours or outcomes they are looking to drive and with whom. Once we know this, we’ll design a programme to make that happen.

This will include:

  • Discovery Phase

    We review your goals and objectives to uncover the best way to incentivise your partners to achieve them.

  • Diving into Your Data

    Data is key to the success of any incentive. We work with you to ensure the information required can be extracted.

  • Creating Impact

    We’ll make sure you stand out from the crowd by creating an eye-catching theme for your incentive.

  • Gamifying Success

    We’ll build a branded incentive platform so your team and your partners can monitor their results and elevate their performance!

  • Helping you Launch

    With our comms pack of emails, social tiles, partner portal copy and email banners, we’ll ensure you have the right tools for a successful incentive launch.

  • Updates & Reports

    Once live, we’ll update your incentive platform based on your data, and we’ll create management friendly reports so you demonstrate the impact the incentive is having.

  • Rewards

    At the end of the incentive, we’ll provide your participants with their rewards, either via e-voucher or physical gifts, via our global rewards network.
