News: Results Doubles the Value for New and Existing Partners

Did you know that Results partners receive free software just for signing up? In addition to the commissions and free CRM licenses that Results already provides to its partners, in a recent promotion, Results Software decided to double the amount of complimentary software. Until the end of 2009, new and existing Results partners are able to receive twice as many software licenses!

Results offers two types of SGCN partnerships: Referral Partners and Certified Partners. The Results Referral Program is a free benefit offered to all Sleeter members. These partners receive a commission on all successful referrals sent to Results. As part of the standard program, Results provides Referral Partners with a free copy of Results CRM that is intended for internal use within their organization. During the current promotion, Results has doubled the value of this program by providing new and existing Referral Partners with two Results CRM licenses*. Referral Partners will also receive a free upgrade to Results CRM Business Suite with their first successful referral of 5+ users. As if that weren't enough, Results is also including the QuickBooks Integration Module (QBI) with the upgrade license. Referral partners who would like to upgrade to Results CRM Business Suite with QBI should call Results Software or send an e-mail to Results today with a list of your referred clients.

The second type of Results partnership offered to SGCN members is the Certified Partners program. SGCN members can become a Results Certified Partner at a 65% discount from the standard program fee, $295 rather than $895. Certified Partners enjoy higher commission rates and receive one Results CRM Business Suite software license for internal use in their organization. During the current promotion, Results is offering their new and existing Certified Partners two free Results CRM Business Suite licenses. When you consider the annual support package that comes with this additional license, this offering is over a $1,900 value!

Referral and Certified partners who enroll before the end of the year will automatically receive the two product licenses. Existing partners should call Results Software or send an e-mail to Results before December 31, 2009 to request the free upgrade.

NOTE: Free partner licenses are for internal use only and are not for resale purposes.
