What is the Salesforce Partner Program?
The Salesforce Partner Program is a comprehensive ecosystem designed to enable and support companies in their partnership with Salesforce. It provides a framework for collaboration, resources, and benefits to help partners succeed and grow within the Salesforce ecosystem.
The program encompasses various types of partnerships, including Consulting Partners, ISV (Independent Software Vendor) Partners, Reseller Partners, and AppExchange Partners. Each partnership type offers unique opportunities and benefits tailored to the partner’s business model and goals. Salesforce assigns every partner to 1 out of 4 different tiers and certain attached points: Base, Ridge, Crest, and Summit.
BASE Partners (up to 249 points), CREST Partners (over 250 points), RIDGE Partners (over 500 points), and SUMMIT Partners (750 points).
