I was looking through the Insights page of the Partner Portal today and I came across a weird quirk of the way Marketplace sales are reported. None of our Azure Marketplace Leads (the leads & sales we get from customers buying our solutions from the Azure Marketplace) are showing up as "Won". On the https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/opportunities/referral/cohort, under "Business performance" we see that Won rate, Lost rate, and Value won all are missing the customers we've gotten through the marketplace. It only appears to be showing manually entered co-sell leads. This seems to be messing pretty heavily with our cohort generation/analysis as we're placed into the incorrect tier. (Sidenote: are cohorts only generated once a year?) Under the https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/opportunities/referral/leads for the "Marketplace leads" tab I'm also seeing 0 "Won" and 0 "Won value" for all of our Marketplace Offers. They get stuck under "Leads" without progressing forward. Is there a way I'm missing to mark our Marketplace Leads as "Won"? We have a bunch of leads that I'd like to reflect in the tool properly.5 App Advisor capabilities that help sell faster on Microsoft Marketplace
