THE CURRENT REALITY
How partner updates actually arrive today
If you run an indirect channel, you've experienced the same collection problem. Partner updates are valuable when they arrive — but the process of collecting, formatting, and consolidating them consumes more time than anyone has budgeted for.
VIA EMAIL
"Still progressing, should close end of month." — No stage, no value, no next action. Manually re-entered into your spreadsheet.
VIA SPREADSHEET ATTACHMENT
Different column headers. Different stage names. Different date formats. 45 minutes of reformatting before it's usable.
VIA CALL BEFORE THE REVIEW
Useful in the moment — but only covers the partners you managed to reach. The rest are missing from the forecast.
THE CHANNEL CHASER WAY
One structured request. One consolidated output.
Channel Chaser replaces all three with a single structured workflow. Partners receive a scoped request — one link, only their deals — and respond through a guided webform. Everything consolidates automatically.

QUESTIONS
Frequently asked
Why do most teams still collect partner updates by email?
Because it's the default — not because it works. Email gets the job done in theory, but in practice it creates inconsistency, delays, and hours of manual reformatting that teams have just accepted as normal.
Why won't partners just update our CRM or portal?
Because it creates work for them with limited direct benefit. A scoped webform showing only their deals, completable in minutes, without a login — that's a different ask. Response rates reflect the effort required.
What fields can we collect?
Any field present in your Deal Sheet — stage, close date, value, confidence, notes, next action, blockers, and custom columns. Channel Chaser maps to your existing structure.
What happens to the data after collection?
Responses consolidate automatically into a single Deal Sheet. Only changed fields update — everything else remains stable. Optional CRM sync on the Plus plan pushes updates into HubSpot or Zoho.
Can we run multiple update cycles simultaneously?
Yes — you can manage multiple Deal Sheets and partner groups concurrently, each on their own update cadence.
BUILT FOR PARTNERS TOO, NOT JUST CHANNEL MANAGERS
Update once.
Your partners stay in sync —
including their own CRM.
Most vendor tools are a one-way tax on partner time. Channel Chaser is different. When a partner responds to your update request, their data doesn't just come to you — it works for them too.
EVERY OTHER PORTAL
You get the data.
They get nothing back.
✕ Partner logs into yet another vendor system
✕ Manually updates deal fields for your benefit, not theirs
✕ You get the update — their CRM is still stale
✕ Double entry, every single update cycle
✕ They re-enter the same data into their own system
VS
CHANNEL CHASER
Update once. Done — for both sides.
✓ Partner receives a structured request — no cold logins
✓ Authenticates securely, updates in two minutes
✓ Downloads their deal sheet as Excel — their source of truth
✓ Their updates sync to their own CRM automatically
✓ One update. Two CRMs fed. Zero duplication.
📥
Prompted, not expected to remember
Partners receive a notification when an update is needed. They click through, authenticate, and fill in their deals — no dashboard to remember, no portal login they've forgotten.
📊
Their deal data, always downloadable
Every update a partner provides is exportable as Excel at any time. It becomes their own pipeline record — not just data they handed over to you.
🔄
