March 19, 2007 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web hosting provider AIT’s 1st quarter dealership conference kicked off this week at the company’s Fayetteville headquarters. Prospective dealers were present from Virginia, Tennessee, Indiana, South Carolina and Washington State to take part in a “three-day training and certification event”. Completion of the training leads to an authorized dealer status that offers “a wealth of additional benefits such as capitalization assistance for facilities, health benefits, sales leads, marketing assistance and continued product and service training from AIT’s product manager core”.
“All of the AIT Dealerships are locally owned and operated by our most promising resellers, all who’ve expressed a desire to grow their businesses and to pursue the good old American dream,” explained Sean A. McCoy, AIT’s Chief Marketing Officer. “This initiative, which was started over two years ago and has since expanded to over 20 Dealerships Nationwide, continues to be a great success and is a much needed shift in our Industry. Our resellers needed the instant credibility of the AIT brand in order to swing for the fences with larger, more complex deals.”
“By establishing these individuals as micro versions of ourselves, our dealers are given the necessary toolset to be a success not only within their own community, but nationally. This effort is economic and entrepreneurial development at its finest,” explained Clarence E. Briggs, III, AIT’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “I relate to these guys, most of who are at a place in their business similar to where I was at when I first started out over 10 years ago. It was different for me then though, as our industry was still relatively young and more forgiving than it is now. It would have been a heck of a lot easier had I had a company like AIT to show me the pitfalls ahead of time, as opposed to experiencing them first-hand. A lot of money was spent on that education.”
