To further recognize and support its growing sales network of pro AV and IT integrators, ZeeVee is introducing SIGNAL, a comprehensive global channel partner program.
SIGNAL is a value-based program designed to support current and future channel partners via a broad platform that delivers the dependable partnership, technical enablement, business development, and financial resources essential for success in the AV market.
According to ZeeVee North America sales and marketing vice president Joe Chordas, the company set out to provide a richer package of incentives, service, and support to the company’s loyal RF partners, while developing and enabling a skilled partner channel for IP solutions.
“The SIGNAL program underscores our commitment to accelerating the advance of AV over IP, but at the same time, underscores our commitment to the RF solutions many of our partners actively rely on,” Chordas said. “The importance we place on providing market-leading support to our partners is at the heart of our core values and corporate culture, as much as our pledge to provide the market with the highest performing and most flexible encoders and decoders.”
The launch of the new program coincides with ZeeVee’s 2018 partner recruitment drive. The program is being phased in over the next few months through the end of the year.
The SIGNAL program is multi-tiered and designed to flexibly support the needs of a diverse group of partners, including AV integrators and installers focused on selling ZeeVee’s RF product line, AVoIP specialists, distributors, and consultants. Below is a quick rundown of program highlights for each partner group:
