Reseller Program Overview
How would you like to develop a new revenue stream with products that
- compliment your existing offerings
- potentially increase the use of your racks
- offer an excellent profit margin with little to no upfront investment
- have a built in reputation for quality and excellence
Make more money in 2008. If it's not on your list of new year resolutions, maybe it should be. For Internetwork Expert, 2007 was a year of exhilarating (and occasionally exhausting) growth. And yet we've only just begun. Consider this an invitation to grow along with us- by reselling Internetwork Expert products.
Benefits
Excellent products. Excellent margins. Based on word of mouth and reputation for quality, our flagship products practically sell themselves. Now you can sell them too. You can pre-order in bulk and enjoy gross margins as high 50% or more. You can also order on a just-in-time basis: no cash flow issues, no inventory hassles, no shipping headaches (the customer pays you first; we take care of shipping). Your new revenue stream can be as simple as you want it to be.
- order in bulk or use just-in-time delivery
- no inventory hassles
- reseller programs tailored for your company
Undeniable quality. There's no guesswork with Internetwork Expert products. Thanks to clear descriptions, in-depth product samples and ample testimonials, the quality is front and center.
- our flagship Routing & Switching workbook offers a full sample chapter
- our audio series and subscription based products are easy to test drive
Complement your current offerings. When customers order our flagship R&S workbook, they quickly discover that quite a bit of rack time is required to get through 20 full scale, full day labs. It's not uncommon for new workbook customers to carve out monthly blocks of rack time. You can capture that rack time as well; in fact, we'll go out of our way to make sure you do. Here's how: once you become a reseller, we can track the visitors you send to our site and direct them to custom pages. If a customer of yours lands on our rack page, they won't see Internetwork Expert rack rentals. They will see a recommendation to return to your rack page!
Earn passive referral commissions. When your customers become our customers, we both win. We will track Internetwork Expert store sales generated by visits from your site, and give you a four percent commission on those sales. Not only that, it's a two way street: we'll also list you on our partner page. As your traffic builds, so does your revenue.
