We appreciate you taking the time to leave your review. One of the benefits of being a partner is having a team that you can connect with and tap into. We encourage our partners to reach out to their managers for support; however, if they do not feel like they're receiving support from their managers, we ask that they connect with the Partner Contact Center so we can better understand their experience and find the appropriate next steps to support them.
