FAQ
Software vendors, ISVs, platform firms, or enterprises with partner networks—or those exploring digital business models—who need senior-level guidance rather than surface-level advice.
York uses a proprietary scorecard to categorize partners by performance and potential, then helps you right-size margins, promote or demote, or sunset low-value partners.
Workshops (2 days in person or multiple online sessions) that explore value propositions, pricing, GTM strategy, organizational structure, and validation for newer revenue models.
They deliver consultation, partner readiness, partner-to-partner workshops, global introductions, and a pay-for-performance model to help ISVs grow via Microsoft ecosystems.
Some offerings (e.g. workshops, consultations) require fixed fees. Others—especially in Microsoft partner expansion—are structured so you pay for results (performance) rather than risk.
For partner optimization, break-even analysis and partner classification results can be generated in weeks. For Microsoft partner initiatives or new business model work, outcomes (sales, model shifts) may take 3–9 months.
They work hands-on — running workshops, channel programs, partner reactivation, and performance realignment. Their models include execution support beyond consulting.
They bring deep channel and ISV specialization, hands-on experience in Microsoft ecosystems, and outcome-based models (e.g. pay-for-performance). They don’t advise in the abstract — they build, coach, optimize, and measure.
You can begin with a free advisory call or break-even assessment for your partner network (via their ChannelPRO / Partner Revenue Optimizer).
They work globally, especially with clients in Microsoft’s partner networks and cross-border expansions via partner-to-partner models.
