The mindset shift
You’re not asking for a favor.
You’re aligning on operational hygiene.
Clear data sharing:
Reduces payout disputes
Saves time for both teams
Improves partner accountability
Supports long-term growth
Most partner managers appreciate structure—especially if you bring it.
What makes agencies successful here
Agencies that get clean data:
Ask early
Provide templates
Set cadence
Keep requests simple
Close the loop with confirmation
What not to do
Avoid:
Asking for screenshots forever
Requiring custom reports per partner
Chasing data reactively at payout time
Letting each partner define their own format
Your long-term goal
Even if a partner’s PRM is weak today, your agency can still maintain:
A single internal source of truth
Historical performance tracking
Accurate payout reconciliation
Partner accountability
That’s exactly what Partner Partner is designed to support.
