Account Mapping Table
| Account | Signal | Partner Owner | Our Owner | Relationship Path | Priority | Next Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Northstar Home | Partner customer + open fraud initiative | Mia P. | Leo S. | Partner CSM to VP Ecommerce | High | Ask Mia for intro by Friday |
| UrbanTrail | Mutual target, no active opp | Raj K. | Nina B. | Joint webinar attendee | Medium | Send co-branded use-case email |

Tips for Best Results
- 💡Clarify rules of engagement before asking reps to share account data.
- 💡Use account signals, not just logo overlap, to prioritize co-sell motions.
- 💡Give each partner a clear role in discovery so the customer does not hear two disconnected pitches.
- 💡Track influenced pipeline separately from sourced pipeline to avoid attribution fights.
