Handle inbound partnership and collaboration requests with a structured form. Collect company details, partnership type, and opportunity description — so you can evaluate every request consistently without losing them in your inbox.
A partnership inquiry form is the front door to your business development pipeline. It sits on your "Partners," "Work with us," or "Become a reseller" page and captures inbound proposals from companies who want to integrate, resell, co-market, or invest with you. The real problem it solves is triage: partnership requests arrive from every direction — a founder's LinkedIn DMs, a generic contact inbox, a sales rep's forwarded email — and the good ones drown in noise while low-effort pitches eat your time. A structured form forces every requester to state who they are and what they're actually proposing before you spend a minute on them.
A well-designed partnership form does two jobs at once: it qualifies and it categorizes. This template does both. The "Type of Partnership" dropdown (Technology Integration, Reseller / Referral, Co-marketing, Agency Partner, Investment, Other) routes a request to the right owner instantly — integrations go to product, reseller deals go to sales, investment intros go to the founder. "Company Size" and "Company Website" give you a fit signal at a glance, and the opportunity description carries a 50-character minimum so nobody can submit "let's partner!" and nothing else. The single most useful field is that description: the domain insight most teams miss is that a genuine partner always leads with the value exchange — what they bring and what they need — while a spammer or a vendor in disguise talks only about themselves.
Deploy it where partnership intent is highest: the footer link every serious partner hunts for, and a dedicated partners landing page. Embed it rather than linking out — a form in the page converts better than a click to a separate tab. Then review on a cadence, not reactively. Partnership evaluation is a batch activity; reading ten requests side by side tells you far more about relative fit than reading each one the moment it lands.
All fields are fully customizable — add, remove, or reorder after opening the template.
The six categories in this template aren't cosmetic — they're your routing key. Decide up front who owns each type: integrations to product, reseller and agency to sales, investment to the founder. In your dashboard, filter by this field so each owner reviews only their queue instead of wading through everything.
The 50-character minimum on "Tell us about the opportunity" filters out one-liners, but the real signal is qualitative. A serious partner names a mutual benefit — what they offer and what they want in return. If the description only lists what the requester wants from you, deprioritize it; that's a sales pitch wearing a partnership label.
A missing or dead website is one of the fastest disqualifiers for a partnership request. This template leaves the field optional to reduce friction, but weigh a blank one during review. A real company evaluating a real partnership always has a URL to point you to.
The optional "Relevant context or links" field is where prepared partners drop a deck, case study, or demo. Requesters who fill it in have usually thought the partnership through; those who leave it blank often haven't. Reading these before you reply lets you skip the first "tell me what you do" call entirely.
Partnerships move slowly and that's fine — but silence reads as rejection. Tell submitters exactly what happens next: "We review partnership requests every second Tuesday and reply within two weeks." A clear timeline stops good partners from assuming you ghosted them and re-pitching a competitor.
Turn on Formiqa's per-submission email notification so nothing slips, but don't act on each alert individually. Evaluating requests together — ten integration pitches side by side — surfaces which partners actually stand out, and protects you from saying yes to a mediocre deal just because it arrived on a slow day.
