How to Build an Opportunity Report
To add partner opportunity data to your report, there can only be one partner and one population in the report. Below, we see Crowdblossom's Open Opportunities (me) compared to Surfzer's Open Opportunities (my partner's population).
We recommend configuring the following columns into your Opportunity Reports:
Amount - View the individual dollar value of each opportunity
Total Amount - To help you prioritize accounts for co-selling, see the full value of all opportunities for an account. Sort this column to see the highest value accounts to prioritize for co-selling.
Sales Stage - Identify which partners can share intel to help you navigate early-stage deals or help move stalled deals forward.

Best Practices
Use opportunity data to view your pipeline and your partner's pipeline to help you:
Move stalled deals forward. See which of your most valuable deals overlap with a partner’s accounts so you can get their help. Perhaps they can share intel about the buying and procurement process at the account or perhaps broker an introduction to a key decision maker on your behalf.
Maintain reciprocity. Get visibility into your channel partner’s opportunity data so you can help them close deals. After all, their success is also your success.
Forecast channel revenue more accurately with visibility into your partner's opportunity stages, close dates, days in pipeline, amounts, and more.
