Announcing Build 2022 Justin Pirie and Philip Borden

At Twilio, our partners are more than an extension of our sales team, they’re an integral part of our long-term strategy. Helping Partners accelerate their Twilio growth trajectory is a top priority. Each calendar year we take the opportunity to evolve the Twilio Build Partner Program, for Consulting Partners, (companies that build solutions for customers) and Technology Partners (companies that embed or integrate Twilio into their solutions) so they can successfully grow their customer engagement business with Twilio.

Each partner type (Consulting and Technology) has its own program to best meet their needs and support their success.

Consulting Partner Program Overview

The 2022 Consulting Partner Program builds on the changes we made in 2021 with new benefits to strengthen the foundation for our partners to develop and grow profitable Twilio practices around our customer engagement vision.

2022 Consulting Partner Benefits by tier include:

2022 Consulting Partner Certification Requirements

Many Twilio partners significantly increased their investment in skills in 2021. Therefore, for 2022 we expanded our Build certification requirements for Silver and Gold tier partners to reflect the investment made in advancing their skills and expertise. All partners have until the end of June to meet any new 2022 certification requirements for their assigned tier level.

Silver partners for 2022 will need 10 Build certified resources (an increase of five) and five sales certified resources (an increase of two).

Gold partners for 2022 will need 15 Build certified resources (an increase of five) and ten sales certified resources (an increase of five).

2022 Consulting Partner Revenue Requirements

2022 revenue requirements are reflected in the table below. Twilio calculates closed-won influenced revenue on a trailing 365-day basis. Partners should work with their Twilio partner team to ensure any influenced revenue is tracked correctly. The best way to do this is to always use deal registration in the Build Community for any sourced opportunities.
