In the information age, business needs are complex and it is difficult for business-to-business (B2B) companies to meet all the needs of their clients. Increasingly, strategic partnerships are becoming critical to developing long term client relationships. By becoming a CRC DataProtection Partner, your company can pull away from the competition and develop a new source of revenue and profit by allowing your clients access to Enterprise-level data backup and recovery solutions.
Is Your Business Right for the CRC Data Protection Partners Program?
If you’re a B2B company serving professionals, home offices, small businesses, charities, religious organizations, educational institutions and departments, or any other business that uses computers, then CRC DataProtection is a service that your clients need. There are different ways to leverage CRC DataProtection in your business, and we have three levels of partnership to make it easy to get started:
- Referral Partners - Earn extra revenue simply by referring clients and business partners to CRC DataProtection.
- Sales-Only Reseller - Increase revenue and provide additional services by selling CRC-branded DataProtection.
- Value-Added Reseller - Add online data backup & recovery to your company’s portfolio by selling and managing our service as a re-branded, managed solution.
Becoming a CRC Referral Partner will instantly add value to your business, regardless of your industry or field. That’s because all your clients have critical data and the need to protect it. By providing your clients with a vital service like data
backup and recovery, you can earn commissions when you refer them to CRC DataProtection.
How Does It Work?
The process is simple. When you register as a CRC Referral Partner™, you refer sales leads to CRC DataProtection; after their second month of service, CRC will reward you with a one-time payment equal to the monthly service charge for that client. A CRC Referral Partner can provide CRC DataProtection to clients to supplement their usual services. Online backup won’t be a primary service for a Referral Partner, so none of the investment in hardware, training, support or development is necessary. All you need to do is provide the prospective customer information to CRC. It’s an easy way to earn extra cash while providing your clients with a valuable tool that they can’t afford not to have.
Key Benefits:
- Quick payment
- CRC account manager to support your referral program
- CRC Referral Partner startup kit to get your sales going quickly
- 5% revenue commission payments paid quarterly
- No need to provide technical support
- A great product that provides excellent customer services & improves your business value
An important part of CRC’s sales program is working with our wide network of CRC Reseller Partners. In this partnership, CRC DataProtection gains a larger presence in the market through the Reseller’s network of clients; in return, the Reseller gets to leverage CRC DataProtection’s Enterprise-class infrastructure by providing world-class remote data backup & recovery services.
How Does it Work?
The process is simple; as a supplement to services they provide, Resellers provide CRC-branded DataProtection to their clients. With CRC training and marketing tools, they seek out leads and take clients through the sales cycle and have them sign a Service Level Agreement, which the Reseller forwards to CRC for review. When CRC accepts the new client, the Reseller has no further obligation and will receive a 10% recurring revenue commission for each client.
As a CRC Reseller, you’ll appreciate not having any of the training issues, up-front expenditures, and speed-to-market concerns that come with building your own solution. You only have to sell online backup - and CRC takes care of providing Enterprise-level infrastructure and unmatched customer support.
Key Benefits:
- Zero up-front investment
- High-margin recurring revenue
- CRC support resources to get you started quickly
- 10% revenue commission payments paid quarterly
- No need to provide technical support
