PEER 1 Hosting (TSX:PIX), a global online IT hosting provider, continues to grow and strengthen its Partner Program with the launch of the PEER 1 Hosting Partner Directory. This new resource, available at www.peer1.com, enables existing PEER 1 Hosting partners to connect and build relationships with potential customers using the directory database.
“PEER 1 Hosting created a variety of tools and resources this year to arm our partners and support our Partner Program,” said Lee Hadsock, Worldwide Channel Program Manager, PEER 1 Hosting. “Our partners were looking for additional resources to help generate tangible sales leads and the Partner Directory was designed especially with that in mind.”
The PEER 1 Hosting Partner Directory is available worldwide immediately to Silver, Gold, and Platinum level partners. Organizations visiting the PEER 1 Hosting website can easily search a database of partners by geographical location and by skill set within a specific market area, enabling prospective customers to identify the right partner to suit their needs. PEER 1 Hosting Technical Support and Sales team can also leverage this tool to offer, through a partnership, a total solution to a customer.
PEER 1 Hosting Partner Showcase
Launching in tandem with the Partner Directory is the PEER 1 Hosting Partner Showcase, a complementary feature profiling PEER 1 Hosting partner success stories to individuals and organizations visiting the website. Platinum level partners are encouraged to visit the Partner Portal website to sign up to be a part of this program.
PEER 1 Hosting Partner Portal
PEER 1 Hosting officially launched its Partner Portal in May 2010, giving partners a consolidated platform to refer and/or resell hosting services to customers, including colocation, dedicated, and managed hosting. Additional benefits of PEER 1 Hosting’s channel program include an evergreen commission plan, reseller discounts, a dedicated sales team, monthly webinars, and access to marketing and sales collateral.
PEER 1 Hosting recently released its monthly partner newsletter, which includes the latest news on the company and its channel program, as well as customer snapshots and educational resources to further engage with partners.
“We are very pleased with the efforts PEER 1 Hosting has made in the past year to become a more partner-focused company,” said John Curtis, CEO, Quotient Integrated Solutions. “The Partner Portal is a one stop shop for tools and resources to better position ourselves in the market. The new Partner Directory gives us more exposure for potential business, which in turn helps us meet our business goals and objectives.”
