You might consider complementing revenues by selling services until the long slow SAAS Ramp[1] will get better.

* One of the best usage of your business partners might be taking over navigation of the sales cycle -if they're sold on the valueprop, they probably know where it can be sold successfully. If they can't sell it, that's a strong datapoint you need to consider re: viability.

* If the market gap is real, you might want to consider selling consulting solutions to that gap specifically to gain additional understanding to the market.

* As a fallback, you might be able to sell consulting/contracting on other fields until sales gets significantly better
