Albert's Goal

The goal for Albert’s SaaS company was to establish a scalable referral partner system that drove consistent growth without constant oversight. By positioning The Cloud Commanders Podcast as a value-first thought leadership platform, we aimed to attract high-quality Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT consultants. The focus was on leveraging automated outreach and engagement to build a reliable pipeline of referral partners.

30 Days

Phase 1: Strategic Referral Partner Identification

We began by identifying key referral partners to accelerate growth. Instead of a sales-first approach, we launched The Cloud Commanders Podcast, an interview series positioning Albert as a thought leader in cloud management. This strategy attracted high-quality Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT consultants interested in the platform.
