The AWS Co-Sell Playbook

How to run an AWS co-sell motion, in plain English — the two numbers the AWS field gets paid on, the machinery translated (ACE, ISV Accelerate, Private Offers, EDP), and the six moves your team runs on every deal.

Written by the operator who built
AWS Marketplace's GTM program —
500+ ISVs · $240M GTM-driven revenue

"Co-sell doesn't run on how much AWS likes you. It runs on two numbers the AWS field gets paid on."

Proof — numbers with names

A motion, built and handed off.

Case study · Data Miner

From self-serve ceiling to enterprise pipeline.

A product-led web-data platform had enterprise demand hitting an inbox and dying there. Crucible defined the enterprise ICP from in-product behavior, built the sales-assist layer and packaged offer, and stood up the first repeatable enterprise conversation — a motion the team now runs without us.

"We had enterprise demand hitting an inbox and dying there. Crucible turned it into a pipeline with real deals — at eight times our self-serve price point."Ben Dehghan · Co-founder, Data Miner
