How to measure impact of the Partner Org

my company is struggling standing up their partner org right now and I wanted some feedback. 

The Partner AE's are all comped on revenue closed by the partner they're associated with (mine is specifically a partner we integrate with.) However, we're constantly metric'd by how many stage 0 deals we create that go into pipe. Sales AE's are the ones who flip them, and it's turned us all into glorified BDR's begging for flips. Someone quit over this yesterday saying it's not a real partnership role. Does anyone have insight on how their org measures the impact of the Partner team?

take it into your own hands and network with real partners. Throw them a deal and they might throw you one back. Partnerships are kind of annoying since everyone says they'll help each other out but it always turns into a game of whoever helps first. I've rarely had luck with partners but the one's I did have luck with were the ones I actually tried helping and found that karma worked in my favor

No marketing, mayo isn't an MQL
I've found you need to give partners the right incentive, like kidnapping their firstborn.
