PineBridge IT
PineBridge turns cloud and security partnerships into a pipeline of managed IT clients.
The problem.
PineBridge’s recurring-revenue model depended on winning managed IT clients one business at a time. Rising prospecting costs forced experienced sellers to spend too much time creating demand, putting a practical ceiling on monthly recurring revenue growth.The Solution
FireSquid identified and introduced cybersecurity firms, cloud and software providers, telecom agents, and fractional CIOs. PineBridge then developed those relationships into a one-to-many channel for managed IT, cloud migrations, infrastructure upgrades, and recurring support contracts. The result is more qualified demand from every relationship—lowering acquisition pressure, improving seller productivity, and building a more predictable base of recurring service revenue.The partnership process.
Four coordinated phases turn a growth objective into a focused one-to-many partner motion.
