Ted Finch is one of high-tech’s most knowledgable and effective channel specialists. Ted has worked extensively as a top executive with resellers.
Ted is not only a man of high integrity, but he leverages a very analytical, data-centric, approach to decisions… His experience with the channel is extensive.
I am on an amazing journey of discovery…with Ted, as we design our reseller channel program. Ted uses “micro consulting” …incredible business model.
I have never met a more honorable man. Ted is a rare combination of extreme knowledge, high energy, and unique creativity.
Ted… launched more products in the first quarter than ever before, got us more press than we’ve ever received, and established an ROI based approach to marketing.
Ted is an expert on channel development…Ted’s work has always been highly regarded. I have no hesitation in recommending Ted.
He has the rare ability to tie practical channel logistics to top-level corporate strategy. Ted’s working style is excellent.
I had no idea how deep Ted could go with analyzing our existing channel program and strategy in under one month’s time. His mission is NOT to lead you into longer and more expensive engagements but to deliver value in any time period you hire him. Ted under promised and over delivered for me. His repeatable processes, templates, and deep experience enable him to cover more ground faster than anyone I’ve ever seen.
…clearly not Ted’s first rodeo. He brings a wealth of experience and has given us a dramatic head-start in setting up a competitive reseller program.
He is a strategic thinker who pushes the marketing boundaries to get companies the kind of visibility needed to attract & retain customers.
Ted is one of the most talented channel executives I know in the high-tech industry. If he doesn’t have an immediate answer he has a huge network that he taps into.
If there is a shortage of staff to do all the work Ted even manages to find very able interns to assist. He certainly has every angle covered and cannot be recommended enough.
If you are an intern that is lucky enough to be considered as a candidate for an internship with Ted, fight to get it and be ready to learn ALOT. He is the best manager I have worked with so far because he is not only great at finding talent but he is really great at actually teaching you his methods. He is very patient, extremely knowledgeable, and delegates tasks confidently.

Ted’s micro consulting program is worth its weight in gold. We accomplished in 6 months what would have taken us over a year to do on our own. And it comes with a fully featured partner portal.
3 words: Trust. The. Process. Ted, while being extremely prescriptive, guided my team through the initiative and opened our eyes to so many untapped strengths and opportunities. He’s willing to meet overtime and truly invests his time and vast industry knowledge into helping his clients grow.
Ted’s expertise around objectively developing feature-based positioning, which is what I initially engaged him for, is priceless. Ted then helped us launch a comprehensive & world-class partner program (complete with full partner portal).
If you’re on the fence, I recommend you go ahead and pull the trigger. You won’t regret it. Now, as I look back, it was the wisest investment I could’ve made for my company.
Ted has a vast amount of knowledge within the retail business and he is also a down-to-earth person. He is not afraid to teach what he knows and I really appreciate that.
Ted is not only an extremely talented marketer, but he truly cares about doing good for his clients. He positioned us in a way that made lots of sense, I learned a fortune from him, and I have referred Ted’s services to a number of friends and colleagues. Great value for money and a great guy.
