Inactive partner
Noun
[in-ack-tiv part-nur]
An inactive partner is a partner who has joined your program, but has not performed activities that drive value for your business or has not done so in a long time. Inactive partners fail to send leads and traffic or make sales and do not actively engage with your program.
There are several potential reasons for partner inactivity and a few different ways you can attempt to reactivate inactive partnerships, which you can learn about here. Inactive partners may never activate, or they may go inactive after a period of activity.
Example: You realize a referral partner hasn't sent any leads in several months, making them inactive. You reach out to them and find out their business was acquired, so you start a discussion with their new ownership about rekindling your partnership.
