The experience behind the work
In 2018 I landed what felt like my dream role in enterprise sales at a top-5 Microsoft partner. Three weeks later, my only sales counterpart quit and the office P&L landed on me, a brand-new seller with no IT consulting background.
Cold calls flopped. Cold emails died in spam. So I stopped treating Microsoft like a logo on a slide and started treating Microsoft like the first client I had to win. That meant finding partner managers, learning ECIF, building cadence with Azure sellers, and figuring out what actually got reps to care.
Within 2 years Microsoft reps were creating pipeline for me. 9 years and $70M later, that motion is still the core of how I think about this work. I run it today as VP of Revenue & Growth at Echelix, and I use the same operating system with clients here.
Monthly advisory
Choose the level of support.
Every plan includes the Co-Sell Operating System. All plans renew monthly via Stripe and can be changed with 30 days notice.
Most clients see meaningful movement within 90 days, though teams with no prior Microsoft co-sell experience may need longer.
Who writes the LinkedIn posts?
Matt ghostwrites in your executive voice, your team approves, and all IP stays with the client.
Is Co-Sell Buddy included?
Yes. Each tier includes Pro seats, with additional seats available a la carte.
What if we already have an alliances manager?
Great. The work plugs into that person’s process with better assets, seller-facing communication, and pursuit support.
Do you work on commission or rev share?
No. This is a flat monthly fee so incentives stay clear and budgets stay predictable.
Can we pause or downgrade?
Yes. Plans are month to month with 30 days notice for changes.
We do not have time to run one more program
This plugs into existing rhythms: weekly pipeline calls, current 1:1s with partner managers, and the outreach already happening. Expect roughly two hours of seller time each week.
We have tried Microsoft alliances help before
Most support in the market is theory or certification prep. This is operator-run and tied directly to meetings, opportunities, and wins.
