# Start flipping the channel
### Start flipping the channel
Last updated: 15-Sep-2021
If you are a software company, it's estimated that channel sales are over 50% of your revenue mix. But this number is shrinking... fast, especially in the new world of services and recurring revenues.
With SaaS and other direct-to-customer offerings, traditional channels are being disrupted and new ones are emerging to take their place. Gaining distribution, lowering customer acquisition costs, increasing client retention and better brand control are the hallmarks of the new order.
Learn practical tips and advice from R "Ray" Wang, the chief guru at Constellation Research, and apply them to your 2016 planning. [**Watch this webinar and learn how to**](http://www.2checkout.com/lp/webinar-start-flipping-the-channel-2015.html):
* Acquire and grow the right channels for distribution; track the right KPIs
* Maximize your channel revenue in this new competitive landscape
* Minimize channel conflict and maximize margins
* Increase your SaaS renewals via channels

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.2checkout.com/resources/webinars/subscriptions/start-flipping-the-channel.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
