What JS Group does

JS Group (JSG) is a privately held channel consulting firm that designs and executes indirect go-to-market strategies and AI-powered partner enablement programs for technology vendors and their channel partner ecosystems. Founded in 2018 (per company timeline; firmographics references 2002) and operating from Palm Beach, Florida, JSG serves a client base spanning Fortune 100 companies, Nasdaq-listed tech firms, Tier-1 telecommunications providers, and innovative technology startups. The firm operates under a #DigitalNormal philosophy centered on partner-first automation, agility, and simplification of complex channel ecosystems, with global delivery across direct enterprise engagement and vendor-backed MDF programs.

JSG's offering is organized around four flagship programs: the AI Accelerator Program (a three-tier hybrid demand generation solution combining AI SDR automation with human consultant guidance across development, engagement, and nurture phases), the Partner Growth Accelerator (an intent-based partner enablement program featuring a custom AI-powered GPT Assistant trained on partner marketing materials), the Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) program (a four-module bootcamp plus positioning audit and 90-day activation blueprint for optimizing content visibility within AI-generated responses from ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot), and the Social Selling Program (a LinkedIn and digital-first selling curriculum). These sit atop five consulting practices—Channel Programs, Strategic Planning, Channel Marketing, Sales Enablement, and Channel Governance—and are complemented by pre-approved MDF packages for partner ecosystems. The technology stack integrates with Salesforce and HubSpot via export, and JSG has built proprietary measurement frameworks (AI Visibility Index, Confidence Weight, GEO Scorecard) and the home-grown Sales$marts sales enablement program as defensible IP.

JSG generates revenue through three streams: professional services consulting (channel strategy, sales enablement, governance), managed services (MDF-backed partner programs funded by vendor marketing development funds), and training and enablement delivered through virtual workshops, coaching, and bootcamps. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm claims cumulative client outcomes including $6B in net new funnel generated for clients in FY25, 35% traffic growth via GEO acceleration, 47% revenue growth via sales enablement and social selling, 75x ROI on channel marketing programs, and over 5,000 quota-carrying sellers and managers trained. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise engagement supplemented by vendor-backed MDF programs, with the firm reporting no external institutional investors, no parent company, and founder/management ownership under Janet Schijns (CEO) and Roy Schijns (Managing Partner).

Others

• CompTIA: Non-profit trade association offering channel partner certifications, training, and community for the IT industry. A non-direct but adjacent ecosystem participant that competes for training and enablement dollars adjacent to JSG's Social Selling and Sales Enablement programs.

Emerging players

• Impact: Partnership automation platform covering affiliates, influencers, and strategic B2B partners. Competes for the same partner-program budget JSG addresses, with a software-first rather than services-first model.
• PartnerStack: Partner ecosystem platform (PRM, marketplace, and payouts) used by SaaS vendors to recruit, enable, and pay partners. Represents a software-driven alternative to JSG's service-led channel enablement approach.

Broad incumbents

• Forrester Research: Global research and advisory firm with a dedicated channel sales and partner ecosystem practice. Often engaged by the same Fortune 100 buyers as JSG for strategic channel advisory work, making it a high-end adjacent competitor.
