• Proactively manage timelines

5. Communication and Collaboration:

• Act as a liaison between Salesforce and partner teams, facilitating effective communication and collaboration to achieve shared goals.
• Provide regular updates to internal and external partners on the progress and outcomes of the partnership initiatives.

6. Performance Analysis:
