Overview
The 'Partner Prospects' section is a critical component of the partner recruitment workflow, enabling vendors to track and nurture potential partners before they formally join a program. It serves as a centralized repository for pre-application leads, allowing program managers to maintain an organized pipeline of recruitment targets. By capturing and managing prospect information, vendors can strategically engage with suitable candidates, moving them through the initial stages of the partner journey.
Administrators use this module to update prospect information, such as contact details, company background, and their current status in the recruitment funnel. The ability to enrich data helps in qualifying prospects more effectively, ensuring that recruitment efforts are focused on partners who align with the program's objectives and ideal partner profile.

Editing Partner Prospect Details
This screen displays the Add/Edit a Partner Prospect form, which allows UPM administrators to manage details for potential partners before they formally apply to a program. Prospects are early-stage sales contacts that can be manually created, imported, or synced from a CRM. The form captures essential contact, company, and address information, and includes sections for competitor details and additional notes. Administrators can use this form to update prospect information, enrich data, or analyze changes before moving the prospect through the recruitment workflow, potentially leading to an invitation to apply to a partner program.
Review the pre-filled information for the partner prospect and make any necessary edits to their details.
