Design a partner check-in rhythm that catches friction

Design a light-touch partner check-in cadence that surfaces friction early, before a partner quietly disengages.

About this prompt

This prompt helps Partner and Channel Managers build a sustainable check-in rhythm that catches partner friction before it turns into disengagement. It produces a tiered cadence, a quick check-in structure, early-warning signals, an escalation trigger, and a win-recognition habit. Use it when partner problems keep surfacing too late and you need a lightweight early-warning system.By the time you hear about partner friction through formal channels, the partner is often already half-disengaged or being courted by a competitor. This prompt designs a cadence of light-touch check-ins, separate from formal QBRs, scaled to partner tier so you stay connected without over-investing in low-value partners. You provide which partners it covers in WHICH PARTNERS / TIER, your bandwidth in HOW MANY PARTNERS, HOW MUCH TIME, where friction usually originates in DEAL REG DISPUTES, COMP CONFUSION, SLOW SUPPORT, CHANNEL CONFLICT, NEGLECT, and your relationship goal in KEEP TOP PARTNERS ENGAGED AND PRODUCTIVE. It returns a realistic cadence, the few questions that surface how a partner is really doing, the early-warning signals that reveal brewing problems before a complaint, a fast early-resolution move, a habit for recognizing wins, and the threshold where friction should escalate. Use this for ongoing relationship maintenance, distinct from the QBR prompt's formal review. The tip: be honest in the capacity field, because a check-in system heavier than you can maintain defeats the purpose, and the whole point is catching small stuff before it becomes the reason a partner leaves.
