Specialized consultants
With a recognizable focus, such as sales leadership in an industry, pricing, or cash flow management, and experience being effective in other organizations without taking them over.
Collaboration · Become a partner
Good collaboration starts with a clear contribution.
We work with specialized consultants, implementers, and agencies when a customer project needs a capability we don't cover ourselves. This page shows what we look for, what an introduction can look like, and what happens afterward, with no promises of orders, commissions, or partner status.
Analyze my shop
For questions about collaboration, the initial consultation is open to you.
Who it's for
Who we mean when we say “partner”
No resellers, no lead brokers. Instead, people and small teams who demonstrably do one thing well.
Implementers
For CRM systems, automation platforms, tracking, or data connections. Depth in a few systems matters more than breadth across many.
Agencies
With a clear service profile, such as campaign management, content, or web, who document traceably what they do and don't present results as better than they are.
Criteria
What we look for in an introduction
Five criteria that matter more to us than company size or fame.
What we want to see
- Demonstrable focus: a topic you truly master, with clear boundaries toward the outside.
- Traceable work samples: projects where it's clear what the problem was, what you did, and what came out of it, even when not everything worked.
- Clean handover and documentation: after your work, the customer's team can continue without you.
- Direct communication: you say early when something won't work and get in touch before anyone has to ask.
- Realistic capacity: you state what you actually have free instead of accepting everything.
What doesn't convince
- Service lists that cover everything, from strategy to programming.
- References without context: logos with no indication of what was actually delivered.
- Results that can't be traced or whose numbers aren't explained.
- Availability commitments that clearly can't be kept.
Completed example
What an introduction can look like
An explicitly fictional example with neutral details. It shows the scope and specificity that make an inquiry answerable, nothing more.
| Field | Sample entry (fictional) |
|---|---|
| Focus | CRM rollout and cleanup for trading and service companies with 10–80 employees |
| Reference link | Own website with three described projects: starting point, scope, duration, what remained with the customer's team afterward |
| Systems | Two CRM systems in depth, plus import/export routines and integration with an email tool |
| Region and languages | DACH, German and English, mostly remote, on-site kick-off possible |
| Capacity | About one day per week starting the month after next; more per project by arrangement |
| How it works | Written handover documentation after each milestone, short weekly status email |
The details are invented and do not stand for any real person or company.
Formats
What collaboration can look like in practice
Project-based implementation
You take on a defined part of a customer project, such as the technical setup of a system, with clear acceptance criteria and written handover.
Subject-matter addition
You contribute targeted depth that an engagement needs: a review, a workshop, a second opinion. Time-limited, clearly compensated, with no role in day-to-day operations.
Jointly coordinated customer work
On longer engagements, we work with distributed roles on the same customer. Who is responsible for what and who speaks to the customer is set beforehand and stated openly to the customer.
What we don't promise: guaranteed orders, commissions, a partner label, or a listing. Collaboration happens where a concrete project needs exactly your capability.
Introduction
Prepare your introduction
Five fields, a preview, then your own email program. There is no form that sends anything in the background.

Subject: Becoming a partner: introduction
Hello Peak Atlas, Focus: – Reference link: – Systems: – Region and languages: – Capacity: – Name and company: – I’d welcome a reply on whether an introduction makes sense. I understand there is no commitment to assignments or a response deadline.
Opens your email program. The message is only sent once you send it from there. Still open: Focus, reference link, systems, name and company.
Next step after your email: we review the introduction individually and get in touch if a personal conversation makes sense.
Frequently asked questions
Clearly answered.
How are the terms of a collaboration set?
We clarify the form, fee, roles, and scope of a possible collaboration in a personal conversation and put it in writing.
Do I have to work exclusively with Peak Atlas?
No. We only expect you to disclose conflicts of interest, for example if you work for a direct competitor of a shared customer.
What should I include in a time-sensitive introduction?
State your availability and possible start dates directly in the introduction. That lets us place a possible collaboration concretely.
May I use customer logos from joint projects?
Only with the customer's explicit consent and in coordination with us. What is said publicly must be verifiable and match what you actually delivered.
