Stipend for you, Stipend for me

Welcome to my third post this week. Today I am going to write a little about a software channel developer.

I am going to call him Charlie. Charlie worked for many years in business development and channel sales for software companies. He is an American and has lived in Germany for several years.

I called Charlie because I was interested in knowing more about stipends. According to Charlie, there are several ways to approach developing a new channel for an established company and for a start up. During our conversation, Charlie explained how software companies deal with channel development and he was nice enough to give me examples from his experience. In addition to explaining in more detail about stipends, we chatted about realistic figures for monthly lead generation.

One thing I realized when I was talking with Charlie is that people who like the field of business development really like to forge ahead and build new businesses and it sometimes doesn't matter what the product is.... creating the road for others to follow is what is exciting.

In addition to my conversation with Charlie, I got an email from a Japanese company that would like my assistance. How can I help a Japanese company? I can help them by explaining their product to companies that might be interested in licensing their engine. The Japanese company's homepage and materials are all in Japanese so how else will people understand what this company is selling. I talked about this company in an earlier post. It is nice to know that they would like me to help. Now lets see if we can negotiate a contract.
