THE PROBLEM

Why cybersecurity channel forecasts get complicated

Cybersecurity deals are complex — long evaluation cycles, multi-stakeholder decisions, technical PoC stages, and procurement delays. That complexity is hard enough to manage inside your own team. Add an indirect channel layer and you introduce a second problem: getting consistent, current deal updates from MSSPs and VARs who are managing dozens of vendor relationships simultaneously.

✕ 

Evaluation status and PoC outcomes sit with the MSSP or VAR, not your internal team

​

Security deal cycles are long — channel managers lose track of progress between updates

​

MSSPs work with multiple vendors and respond inconsistently to ad-hoc update requests

​

CRM data reflects your team's assumptions, not what partners know on the ground

CYBERSECURITY USE CASES

Where teams use Channel Chaser

MSSP partner pipeline updates

Collect structured deal updates from your MSSP base — eval status, stage, close date, and blockers in one cycle.

VAR security deal tracking

Track VAR-led security evaluations and procurement cycles with consistent field updates rather than informal progress calls.

Distribution channel forecasts

Collect and consolidate pipeline data from your distribution partners before vendor and leadership review calls.

Quarterly pipeline reviews

Walk into QBRs with a clean, consolidated partner Deal Sheet — not an assembled spreadsheet built the morning of the call.

Evaluation and PoC stage monitoring

Keep track of where technical evaluations sit across your partner base without calling every account manager individually.

Deal risk and close-date tracking

Identify slipped close dates and at-risk deals across the channel before they become surprises in the leadership review.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked

Do MSSPs and VARs need to pay or sign up?

No. Partners receive a structured update link and complete a clean webform showing only their deals. No paid plan, no portal, no CRM access needed.

Can Channel Chaser handle long cybersecurity evaluation cycles?

Yes. Channel Chaser collects updates on your cadence — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly — regardless of how long the deal cycle runs. It tracks progress across multiple cycles without losing history.

How do we capture PoC and evaluation status?

​Deal Sheet fields are mapped from your existing structure. If your Deal Sheet includes eval status as a column, partners update it directly through the structured webform.

Does it replace our security channel PRM?

No. Channel Chaser handles structured deal update collection — one specific workflow that most PRMs don't do well because they're built for content distribution and deal registration rather than update collection.

What happens with deals that go dark?

Automatic reminders are sent to non-responding partners. The dashboard shows which partners haven't updated and which deals have had no movement — so you can prioritise attention rather than chase everyone equally.
