Overview

Value-Added Reseller Business and Channel Management Training Course is a one-week professional programme for reseller owners, channel managers, vendor-alliance teams, solution sales leaders and entrepreneurs. Participants examine how a value-added reseller combines vendor products with design, integration, implementation, training and support to produce a complete customer solution. The course connects the VAR business model, channel partner management, vendor relationship management, solution packaging, deal registration, service operations and reseller profitability. Each participant leaves with a practical VAR Business Plan and operating dashboard. Agile Leaders Training Center develops disciplined reseller and channel-management capability.
