Wasp Technologies Breaks the Mold with WaspLink Reseller Program

Until now, resellers and solution providers that focus on larger companies have been catered to by their suppliers, while those targeting small businesses have been virtually ignored. Furthermore, products designed for large companies are not easily installed or adapted to the needs of small companies. These solutions tend to be complex and require extensive implementation - characteristics that are not appropriate for small companies. This strategy makes little sense in the current business climate, which is seeing smaller companies growing much faster and adopting more new technologies than their larger counterparts. The WaspLink authorized business partner program will appeal to two types of VARs. The first group already sells to small businesses, but its traditional services of computers, networks and other general IT products are no longer big money-makers. For most of these VARs, margins are tight, and competition is fierce. They are looking for new products to provide to their customers but cant afford major investments in training or changes in their business model. The second type of VAR currently installs point-of-sale (POS) and other automated data capture products, such as asset tracking solutions for mid-sized to large companies. These AIDC VARs receive inquiries from mom-and-pop retailers and small businesses, but their current products do not easily fit the needs of the smaller business. The WaspLink authorized business partner program will offer two levels: WaspLink Approved Business Partner and WaspLink Platinum Business Partner. Both programs offer marketing materials and sales support, including online training. The platinum-level program, which is designed for higher-performing partner, provides additional field training and sales support, expanded marketing and product information, and more web materials.
