The WSI Partner Program

Our Partner Programs are a cooperative effort between you, the partner and the WSI Internet Consultant (IC).  There are two programs:  an "In-Store" program and an "Referrer" program.

In the "In-Store"  program, a place of business with a physical storefront joins with the WSI IC to display an attractive 11"x17" poster in a prominent location.  The store representative may direct their client's attention to the poster and casually ask if they are in need of Internet services.  The store owner is expected to be knowledgeable about WSI's products and services, and knowing the background of the client - may suggest the client have a complimentary analysis of their Internet need performed by WSI.  The client agrees to a meeting and is given a coupon by the store owner with the IC's contact information.  The client is informed that the IC will call him/her within the next several days to arrange a meeting for the complimentary service.  The store representative then logs on to the Partner section of the IC's site and enters the clients contact information.  If the client's interest leads to a WSI sale, the store representative (usually the owner) is rewarded with a sales commission. 

This is a simple program and nothing further is required of the participating store owner except to agree to the Terms and Conditions.   All marketing materials are supplied by the IC.

The In-Store Owner  is expected to access the WSI IC's Partner page to enter and track the status of leads.

The "Referrer" program is similar in structure to the "in-store" program.  In this program, other sales people who have established a business relationship with the IC use their sphere of influence to generate leads.  In exchange for this, the IC rewards that person with a sales commission if the referral results in a sale.  This program acts more like a networking relationship in that the IC and the Referrer may agree to target specific clients.  Or it may be a more natural process that evolves from a certain target market that the Referrer is experienced in. 

No voucher is provided to the prospect as the primary goal of the Referrer is to arrange a 40-45 minute Introductory meeting.    The Referrer establishes the meeting time giving the prospect a clear understanding that the purpose of the meeting is to see if the WSI IC can help the client, and to determine if there is a need to proceed beyond that.  The meeting is not intended to be a sales call.

Again, marketing materials are supplied by the IC based on the target market pursued.  These may include demo CDs, e-brochures, case histories, etc.  It is necessary for the Referrer and WSI IC to agree to the same Terms and Conditions as in the "in-store" program.

The Referrer is expected to access the WSI IC's Partner page to enter and track the status of leads.
