Crossbeam is a partner ecosystem platform from the company of the same name headquartered in Philadelphia. We act as a data escrow service that finds overlapping customers and prospects with your partners while keeping the rest of your data private and secure.
Very well-suited for a rising startup like ours that is rapidly growing its customer and partner base. Very well-suited for needing to make rapid changes to your marketing mix and being able to quickly see it reflected in the portal.
I would definitely recommend Crossbeam to others, and frequently bring it up early in conversations with potential partners as a first step in evaluating a partnership opportunity. Crossbeam allows you to easily see overlaps for current customers, prospects/target accounts, and open opportunities. Being able to quickly and easily assess the business opportunity with a partner, and find mutual customers that would benefit from a combined offering is a huge value add. The integration with Salesforce makes the tool easy to use and scalable, without needing to constantly update account lists. Being able to view the overlaps within the Crossbeam UI and easily export the lists makes the tool really easy to work with.
Lead registrations. One reason we chose Allbound was for its easy to use deal registration form.
Events. We promote every event that our company will be attending to all of our partners via Allbound.
Prospecting. Our team also creates unique prospecting pages for customers, prospects, and partners to help drive specific information that these companies should have access to across the organization.
Allbound is so easy to use as an administrator and provides human support and a resource for its customers to learn about the features and tools available. Our partners consistently provide feedback to us about how much they absolutely love our partner portal, which Allbound provides the structure and functionality to allow us to over amazing things to thousands of partner globally. Almost every person who provides feedback says some iteration of "this is the best partner portal i've ever used."
It is by far the easiest system to administrator that I have either had experience doing or demoed from other vendors. No coding skills needed. Simple interfaces for everything. And the Allbound University and live support are great!
Allbound has a support team that is easy to contact right through the PRM interface. Additionally, we have a dedicated account manager and development team who are super responsive and helpful. Allbound has a ticketing system for support as well, which keeps you up to date on status of your support requests.
Regular meetings, lots of UAT, quick responses, and adherence to our timeline made implementation a breeze -- even though we had some really complex processes we needed to support.
For our partner portal, we have chosen Allbound. We wanted one place where all of our partners could go to find the information they required, and where some of that information could be made available automatically. Allbound provides us all the necessary tools for facilitating content exchange with our partners, including legally binding contracts, transaction registrations, and everything else we may need. It also helps us empower our partners by providing them with instructional courses and turnkey marketing strategies.
Crossbeam allows us to quickly assess opportunities with potential partners and feeds directly into prioritization for our integration and partnership strategy.
It solves the challenge of keeping account data private that you don't want to share and enables us to easily share the information that is beneficial to both parties.
