What are the lead indicators of someone like that? What kind of behaviors do you look for in a person?

Would love to hear thoughts on how to work partnerships with the big fish ISPs/etc. — I've never played that game before.

FWIW, in setting up small channel partnerships for two startups, I found about a 1/10 hit rate (i.e. for every 10 good leads, several could get through the partnership process, but only one of them actually had the capability to sell). I've heard others tell me this is there experience as well.
