How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When you want distribution beyond your direct sales — a partner ecosystem is a multiplier, not just a channel.

PRO TIP

The most valuable companies in the world are platforms — they don't just sell products, they enable ecosystems. Building a partner ecosystem takes years, but the companies that start early create distribution advantages that are nearly impossible to replicate.
