MDF Optimization

Marketing Development Funds (MDF) are a critical resource for channel programs and go-to-market strategies, but they are often underutilized or lack clear accountability for results. At Cogneto, we specialize in helping organizations unlock the full potential of their MDF investments by ensuring every dollar is strategically allocated and generates measurable outcomes.

Challenge
For many technology suppliers, MDF programs often fail to deliver the desired return on investment (ROI). Common challenges include:

  • Lack of visibility into the impact of allocated funds.
  • Inefficient tracking and accountability mechanisms.
  • Weak business plans that fail to maximize pipeline generation or revenue.
  • Inability to tie MDF activities directly to tangible results like sales or profitability.
