Consider the following scenario, let’s say company X’s direct sales channel is doing great, but their indirect sales channel isn’t as successful. They've carefully chosen the right channel partners and ensured they were properly on-boarded and fully equipped to sell. But, they don’t appear to be reaching sale expectations.
