Trainer
Sharon Eaton from BioChannel Partners Ltd
Previously worked as Global Channel Partner Managers in the industry, selling capital equipment, reagents, consumables & services, and hence have an in-depth understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by those in Channel Partner Management roles today.
Sharon Eaton founded BioChannel Partners Ltd over two decades ago with the primary goal of aiding channel partner managers to perfect their channel partner networks.
During Sharon's tenure as a channel partner manager, she encountered a challenge: the absence of a straightforward method to discover new distributors in regions where there were gaps or a need to replace ineffective channel partners. Time constraints, largely due to extensive travel in support of existing partners, hindered her ability to conduct the necessary research to ensure the identification, qualification, and recruitment of the most suitable channel partners.
Furthermore, a significant amount of time was consumed in dealing with inherited distributors who, while ideal in the past, no longer constituted a good strategic fit. Sharon recognised the need for a more efficient approach.
To address these challenges, Sharon took a year off to pursue a full-time MBA, focusing on channel partner recruitment and management. After interviewing over 30 distributor managers in the life sciences field, she discovered a shared experience. The two most pressing issues for channel partner managers were finding the right channel partners and effectively managing relationships with companies where there is no direct authority, but a responsibility to ensure performance.
In 2003, BioChannel Partners Ltd was established to initially focus on channel partner recruitment and in 2014, to provide training for channel partner managers on maximizing the potential of their distributors.
For over 20 years, Sharon has been engaging with channel partner managers of technical products and services to help them overcome challenges in the development of their channel partner network and she thoroughly enjoys interacting with the talented professionals who choose channel partner management as a career. Encouraging ambitious international business development managers to grow, develop and achieve amazing results is a pure delight!
