Never GTM Alone
Welcome to Never GTM Alone—the podcast where tech marketing gets personal. Hosted by Rick Currier, founder of PartnerVista and longtime partner marketing strategist, this show cuts through the noise of go-to-market jargon to bring you unfiltered conversations at the intersection of partnerships, technology, and human connection.
Whether you’re a partner marketer navigating complex ecosystems, a founder building your first co-sell motion, or a tech exec wondering why sales still doesn’t get it—we’re here for the real talk.
Each episode blends tactical insight with humor, honesty, and a side of behind-the-scenes drama. Expect expert guests, sharp takes, and the occasional marketing horror story. From AI-powered nurture streams to failed partner launches and co-marketing redemption arcs—we cover what actually drives growth in B2B tech.
Because no one builds pipeline alone. And no one should have to figure this sh*t out solo.
Topics we explore:
- Partner marketing & channel strategy
- Co-selling, attribution, and ecosystem operations
- Martech, AI, and automation in GTM
- Personal + professional growth inside the tech grind

Fixing Partner Reporting & Attribution w/ Michael Venman
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most partner teams don’t have a demand problem — they have a reporting and attribution problem.
In this episode, Rick sits down with Michael Venman, Founder of The Sales Nerd, to unpack why partner revenue so often gets lost inside CRM systems, conflicting definitions, and undefined SLAs.
Michael shares practical insight on:
• Why deal registration architecture determines whether you can prove ROI
• How misaligned sales and partner teams create attribution chaos
• Where partner data should actually live inside your CRM
• What private equity firms and executives expect when they ask for clean funnel reporting
If you’ve ever struggled to defend partner-sourced revenue, align on who gets credit, or produce reporting leadership actually trusts, this conversation will give you a clearer framework.
This episode is for partner marketing leaders who want attribution that holds up, reporting that’s defensible, and a partner motion that drives measurable pipeline.
