Touchplan Partner Newsletter | October 2021

Hello Partners,

Welcome Back to Touchplan’s Monthly Partner Newsletter! I am so excited to share new updates and announcements from September.

My goal each month is to provide you with valuable information that is not only relevant but also helps your business and sets conditions for a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship with Touchplan.

Are you attending the LCI Congress this year? Visit Touchplan Booth #227 to meet me and Andrew Piland from the Partnerships team and talk about our program and new ways to participate. Andrew and I are excited to meet you in person!

Your feedback remains very important to me so we can grow and collaborate together. If you have any comments or suggestions on what you would like to see, please feel free to let us know!

Enjoy!
