  • Fear of the Unknown: many partners lack marketing resources and talent to plan and execute marketing activities.
  • Use It or Lose It: deadlines imposed by vendors are too cumbersome for partners.
  • Once Burned: past failures with MDF usage, either lack of timely reimbursement or ROI effect partner attitudes.
