Boardwalk Partnership Opportunities

Partnering is the essence of successful business collaboration. Each partner individually contributes abilities, talents, products or resources that can be combined and coordinated to achieve optimal results. Without collaboration, these individual efforts would be disconnected and unlikely to attain a similar level of success.

Boardwalk’s operating philosophy is deeply rooted in this partnership model. Founded by principals who have achieved tremendous long-term success through a partnership-based sales model, they recognize and appreciate the true value-add that business partners bring to the table every day.

Boardwalk Partner Options

Boardwalk recognizes that each type of “reseller” possesses a different skill set and has its own set of unique needs. To address these differences, we have designed our Partner programs to sync with your level of commitment and help you achieve the greatest financial reward as a Boardwalk Partner.

Please take a few moments to carefully review the following Partner program options, and feel free to contact us if we can help you in making the best choice for your business.

Program Options

1. Referral

Boardwalk’s Referral Program is very simple and effective – you just recommend Boardwalk to any client or prospect that would benefit from its use. You are not required to make any additional “selling” efforts. For this referral, once the prospect purchases and installs Boardwalk, you will receive ongoing financial compensation

Partner Responsibilities:

• Introduce Boardwalk
• Highlight overall benefits
• Leave marketing support literature
• Encourage contact with Boardwalk

Boardwalk Responsibilities:

• Follow-up with prospect (telephone, e-mail, direct mail)
• Offer demo
• Conduct demo
• Close sale
• Install Boardwalk (including telephone training)
• Provide continuing support

Compensation:

Boardwalk will pay a negotiated royalty on all user seat fees to the Partner for as long as that client uses the product.

2. Reseller

If your goal is to resell Boardwalk and reap greater profit rewards, then this could be the program for you. Reselling Boardwalk requires much more in-depth product knowledge and, as a reseller, you will conduct and be responsible for the entire sales cycle, including prospect/interest development, presentation and closing. Upon closing the sale, Boardwalk will perform the installation and provide ongoing support as outlined in the Referral program above.

Partner Responsibilities:

• Introduce Boardwalk

• Highlight overall benefits

• Offer demo

• Conduct demo

• Close sale

Boardwalk Responsibilities:

• Install Boardwalk (includes telephone training)

• Provide continuing support

Compensation:

Boardwalk will pay a negotiated royalty on all user seat fees to the Partner for as long as that client uses the product.

3. Private Label

The powerful impact of name recognition and association makes private labeling an attractive alternative for firms who wish to maximize their marketing leverage. Since your client base has likely grown to respect and appreciate the overall benefits of doing business with you, they will naturally anticipate a much higher level of value from a product that carries your name. As a result, without having to incur any development costs whatsoever, you can reap the rewards of offering a highly useful and cost-effective tool to your clients that carries your name and logo!

Partner Responsibilities:

• Coop marketing funds are available to help pay for costs associated with a wide variety of Boardwalk-related marketing expenses, including development of marketing literature, logo creation, web site modification, catalogs, etc

• Undertake all responsibilities as outlined above in the Reseller program.

Boardwalk Responsibilities:

• Undertake all responsibilities as outlined above in the Reseller program.

Compensation:

With so many variables involved with private labeling, compensation is negotiable. We will be happy to structure a compensation arrangement that provides the right fit for your target market.

4. Vertical “Champion”
