According to Lawrence Jones, MD of UKFast, a strategy to actively grow your clients' businesses really does pay dividends. The hosting provider's Partner Programme has seen its top ten partners celebrate a 341 per cent growth in just the last four years. This has played a crucial role in another record breaking year for UKFast.
Jones, says:
"By providing the fastest hosting and highest level of service and support to our resellers we are also able to reach their clients and facilitate their growth. This brings obvious benefits for everyone involved and as such, our Partner Programme has experienced tremendous growth."
The growth of the revenue stream has been accelerated by an educational focus. The UKFast partner team is actively involved in clients' sales pitches, bringing a second level of expertise to the table and effectively shortening the sales process with their potential customers.
This approach is supported by; comprehensive product training that provides partners with an extensive knowledge of the product, quarterly partner conferences in London and Manchester and regular focus groups that bring businesses together to workshop industry problems and share expertise.
