## Resource

In this episode, we break down how HubSpot built one of the most successful partner ecosystems in B2B SaaS — its agency partner program. We look at the specific economics: HubSpot generates over 40% of its new business through partners, and agencies collectively earn hundreds of millions in commissions and referral fees. Lucas explains the flywheel model that turns agencies into long-term distribution channels, the tiered partner structure from 'Solutions Partner' to 'Platinum,' and the key metric — partner-attributed revenue. Luna challenges whether this model works for smaller agencies and pushes Lucas on the risks of partner conflict. A concrete, numbers-driven look at ecosystem strategy from the company that practically wrote the playbook. #HubSpot #PartnerEcosystem #AgencyPartners #ChannelSales #B2BSaaS #FlywheelModel #PartnerProgram #RevenueAttribution #SolutionsPartner #PlatinumPartner #SalesEcosystem #StrategicPartnerships #BusinessDevelopment #Business #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EcosystemStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
