Many (potential) customers ask for extra support or training when they buy LLBLGen Pro. We can't travel around the world offering this to them, but as there are LLBLGen Pro users worldwide, you can help companies in your area work with LLBLGen Pro, in their own language.

As an LLBLGen Pro Partner you offer training, support and/or consultancy to (potential) LLBLGen Pro customers, against a fee of your own choice. This means you can attract new customers and your profits can rise just because you know a lot about LLBLGen Pro!

Every customer of ours can become an LLBLGen Pro Partner. For free. Just fill out the form on http://www.llblgen.com/pages/secure/PartnerForm.aspx and send it in. We then enroll you into our Partner Program, list you on our 'LLBLGen Pro Partners' page on our website and send you the LLBLGen Pro Partner logo, which you can use on your site.

Potential partners will be trained? How will partners be selected?

Potential customers will be trained by the partners We take it that those wanting to become a partner won't need training themselves.

There's no real selection, other than that you have to agree to the partner agreement and the obligations in it. We do of course check the company URL's provided, and if a customer complains or if other problems arise, we can cancel the partnership.

Perfectly clear.

I might get back on this. LLBLGen could fit in the portfolio of consultancy and solutions we will offer in S-E Asia very soon.

Um, based on my experience, you definitely want some kind of certification process. It would not be a very good situation to find your product being represented by consultants/trainers who do not understand or use LLBLGen Pro correctly.

I agree with bonder. Partners making money on LLBLGen should get a training by SD or at least undergo a test. I'm myself extremely picky in selecting the right partners in business. I'd like to see references and certifications.

Please Frans be aware that "partners" giving training and support the wrong way can damage your good name.

That is true, but unless we personally go to every company applying, we can't guarantee they're any good. And even then, we don't know for sure, because the only good trainer might leave that company without our knowledge. Or the partner starts working on other projects, not including LLBLGen Pro... As I said, we do check the websites of those applying. If there is no consultancy or training experience, it's hardly likely we'll list them. And we know how long they have been a customer. If they only used LLBLGen Pro for a short period of time, we know they can't have enough experience.

The partner page will state that companies listed there are not officially tied to us btw; we are merely intermediary. And we ask companies doing business with one of the partners to give us feedback. If they're not happy, the agreement is cancelled.

Understood.. but being a partner; one should be given some preferences.. e.g. WebCasts, some online tutorials [Audio - Video], access to few more piece of data then non partner customers...
